PinkRinse Fiesta Maniac Registered: 02/01/05 Posts: 6067 Loc: Shoreham-by-Sea, W. Sussex, UK	I think a "How To" section would be good. I guess some of those posts should go in the Technical Issues section but that tends to get filled with "my ST is doing ... does anyone else get that?" posts. _________________________ 24/03/05 to 27/06/12 & I loved it

I understand exactly what your saying Pinkey. I guess in a very brief explination your trying to say the technical section is getting filled with posts such as "I have 28mpg"... Posts such as how to replace a headlight bulb may be lost. _________________________

chrisST Fiesta Addict Registered: 15/11/04 Posts: 969 Loc: Gloucestershire	I think that would be a useful idea because if your new to the site I can understand how it might be difficult to find exactly what you want. Chris could do the 'how to spam like a pro' section _________________________

ZetecGoingOnST Fiesta Fan Registered: 09/10/05 Posts: 145 Loc: wetherby west yorks	Yeh very good idea, I would appreciate a "how to" on changing the dash fascia around the CD player to the piano black one! Actually I think searching for that, is how I found this forum in the first place. _________________________

Scotty Porsche 997 Turbo & ST150 Registered: 27/02/04 Posts: 18100 Loc: Nuneaton, Warwickshire	I must just add, if this section was to be concidered then it would be VERY strick with Topic Threads due to being closely linked with the Technical Talk thread. If a "How To" section was made it would only state exactly that and all replies or thread that were spam or not helpful would be deleted to help make it easier to read. _________________________

Gareth Fiesta Nutter Registered: 22/07/05 Posts: 2274 Loc: NW London	Totally agree Scotty, things can get a little off topic at times, which is generally ok as long as it doesn't go too far. However a "How to" section would need to be clear and easy to follow. _________________________

Scotty Porsche 997 Turbo & ST150 Registered: 27/02/04 Posts: 18100 Loc: Nuneaton, Warwickshire	I think going wildly offtopic is how many threads should end there live, I feel there is only so much you can get out of one tiny discussion. Lets not forget to try and keep them ontopic as best as possible for pure ease of people reading though. Chris that is fine m8, this forum is a very nice place to be, that is why people enjoy it so much and you are a big part in the whole development of that. I do not feel you spam anyway (too much :P) On this forum there are serious threads and also Joke threads, this is deliberate to balance the forum out. Before I spam more, back ontop the very good suggestion of a "how to" thread. _________________________

chrisST Fiesta Addict Registered: 15/11/04 Posts: 969 Loc: Gloucestershire	This might be a stupid question Scott, but could you actually create a 'how to' post which does not have the option to reply underneath? You could then possibly use the technical section to post any questions/comments about the 'how to' guides if required? _________________________

Are you suggesting that Only the thread creator can make a post and no replies can be strung onto it? I could also make this a closed forum and if people did there "how to" posts in the technical section a moderator could move the post over and delete any un-needed replies. _________________________

chrisST Fiesta Addict Registered: 15/11/04 Posts: 969 Loc: Gloucestershire	Yes thats what I meant, I thought it might make it a bit clearer like a help manual if you only had the guide to read. The moderator idea sounds like a good way of doing this. _________________________

MACMAN Fiesta Fan Registered: 25/08/05 Posts: 150 Loc: Reigate, Surrey	you should not allow replies as its a how to section not really a part of the forum. if we just write out how to's and leave it at that then we we ould all get the info we were after and not have to sift through spam!

Chris Fiesta Nutter Registered: 21/03/05 Posts: 3092 Loc: Isle of Wight	Agreed but if anything is helpful thats added by a post in the technical section then it would be good at have a mod update the thread. _________________________ <<<< look i have a badge

ChrisCumbria Driving as Daily Registered: 26/06/05 Posts: 23772 Loc: Whitehaven, Cumbria	I agree that IF we do go for a "How To" section then the threads would have to stick to the topic covered, but like you say Chris, useful additional material could crop up in the Technical Section. Perhaps this could be overcome by having it set-up so that only mods can reply to threads there, so that any updates/additional information could be added at a later date if necessary. _________________________
