Done.

I'm getting really frustrated at how slow Af has been lately, I would be able to do more but it really pisses me off when AF freaks out and loses my changes that I've made. Igor says he will be making some changes soon and I hope to corner him about changes to GM once again. Who knows when that will happen though.

On a positive note I did get the FAQ updated to a more user friendly interface. I just still need to add the rest of the links.

Keep them coming as you find them.

Thanks everyone for the help with this.

I like the new layout. I edited the links in my first post to show the thread names instead of the urls, I thought that it might help you out a little when you merge them into the catergories.

A couple other suggestions:
Add a list of or link to the forum guidelines.

A statement to search the forum if the help needed isn't found in the FAQs and How-tos.

A list of what to include in threads asking for help..... Year? Engine? Is the Check engine light on? Detailed description of the problem? What has been attempted to fix it? etc.

I haven't looked at what you've done blazee, but I agree with you on the sugestions.

I'd also like to see a link to the buy and sell section. Then theres no excuse for posting items on this board. It is hard to find if you don't know where to look

[blazee]

That's a good idea.

It would also be nice to have the thread in the Jimmy and Sonoma forums too. Possibly the Bravada and Hombre forums, as well.

Sure I can do that right now it's easy enough.

Could you create the page the way you want it to read and I will copy and paste it into the current FAQ?

If you want create a new topic on it and we can discuss it and fine tune before making it live on the Faq, that way you can get the credit for the post. I think its a great idea to have a general how to post faq.

Good idea

John

Once this Faq is completed in blazer I will copy it to the other forums so they are all the same.

I love it Shortbus;

You've sure put a lot of effort on the new FAQ secton.

[Shortbus]

No problem happy to help, I know I have been absent around here as a mod for almost 2 years but my work was busy at Caterpillar and know that i changed jobs again I have more time to goof on AF during work.

Blazee, I really like your introduction to AF. Very well done
