    Not too long a list or people are bored before they reach the end.

    I would suggest a "sticky" at the top of each board giving the relevant requirements for a post in that particular board with a link included to your list.

    Noo's thread on how to produce a neat link is great but made difficult to read by people adding their attempts to it so perhaps a tutorial on "how to" that was locked would be a good idea.

    Is this what you are wanting Andrea before I brainstorm myself out while ironing ;)

    What would be a good idea then is ,prehaps have one thread.....................FAQs and another where people can ask if it doesn't appear in FAQs.(after having searched FAQs of course 8))...............then when the answer is given ........................add it to FAQs ,edited to be concise of course :)

    That way the questions won't appear all over the boards ;D
