The NZA Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 ok, so, jokes aside, what needs fixing about the FAQ? There's clearly outdated bits on the older forums and such, but what else? Ive heard that its too long, but id wanted it to be thorough. Ive heard that our inside jokes & things werent there, so i have them in the wiki. I know it'd help to have pictures & such for some of the masses to figure out how to use HTML and the like, and that can be done. But is the list not intuitive/user-friendly? Or is the sheer size overwhelming? If the latter's the case, perhaps a mini-FAQ could be constructed with the more essential bits in it (which we'd have to identify as well). Again, newbies'd have to refer to the wiki for jokes/history and such, but a one-stop for helping through with the most common things would be ideal.

Aartemys Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 To be honest, I haven't read the FAQ's is ages. I'd have to take a look & let you know. I do know that when I was a n00b, it helped me navigate... About the size of it...it's been mentioned that our forum is bigger then other so why shouldn't our FAQ's do the same?

Lycaon Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I found it pretty helpful in the past. There were parts about forum codes that I found especially helpful, too. Don't know. I'll need to put on my protective gear and take another look at it before giving you anything more in depth about it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 How do you embed youtube or other video in the post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 go to youtube and get the embedded code located to the right of the video copy it and past it in your reply it should look something like this <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> then in post options (located under the reply box) select HTML on - auto linebreak mode hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHeart Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 WONDERFUL THREAD! I want to help in finding outdated FAQ questions. Amy pointed out to me that the quoting section is outdated. I think I saw a few more, but I'll have to look again. THE FAQ IS KING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 ah, ok, this is helpful. what about the quote parts? granted, we had a different board version then so its likely. so yeah, keep em coming - i know we need pictures to illustrate using HTML/youtube vids etc, cause its simply not as intuitive as id hoped. That definitely needs an add. please note what else is outdated, or what you feel it could do without, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 ok, so the FAQ's been updated here & there, mostly the shit that's greatly changed (like adding HondoShare link there and such) but most importantly, after like the 10th time its been asked here, a new section on how to post HTML code and make it show things was added, with a step-by-step photo guide and everything. one day, we'll revise either it or the wiki and all questions will be answered with pics. no day soon, though.

Jables Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 As one of the anti-FAQ camp I have this to say: Guys don't read instructions to shit. It's kind of our thing. Said instructions include FAQ's, so you can see how it theoretically could go against the grain... Nice work on the revisions though. It's handy.
