Which do you like better and why? :D

FAQ ver1.x (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t45619.html)

FAQ ver2.0 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t63623.html)

Jay,
I prefer the way you have that everything is by link and then I can pick the link and only read that section.
It makes it a lot easier to find a specific topic when you only have to read a list of FAQ.

Because I can go directly to my question without going through where I don't need to go:D Hope this helps!!! By the way Jay, did you get my 300zx pics for the gallery? I'm gonna send more but I know you're busy with other stuff! Thx!:D

The Second one is better. IMO only...

Is the poll not working? :confused:

Jay,
I had to hit the submit vote thing twice before it loaded....initially it didn't take my vote, but I thought that was just a glitch I had?
Hope that helps answer you a little?

Ray

Yup, having the same problem. Can't vote.

Version 2 is much better Jay, great job!

BTW did you want to do something with those 'How to's' i did?

I have to say ver. 2, because you get to click on what you want to actually read.

2 is higher than 1 so I vote 2 :)

I voted for 1, although I really meant to vote for nr 2, so excuse my tired self, I'll be going to sleep

I like the first one much more then the second(Jay's new way of bumping up his post count :finger: ..j/k).
Alot easier to find things in the fist one IMO

At least you can see my dry sence of humour :p :p
Of course number 2 is way better !!! :D :D

;)

Would the two people other than Alex who voted for the old version please tell me why?

I like #1 better, because as a Starter you will have to read everything, at least IMO. and it reads a lot easier. If someone wants to find just a specific part, he can always use the search option of his browser to find that word in the text.. Works fine for me. But have to agree that #2 is a lot more controlled, but still like #1 better.

Stefan Would you feel the same way if I kept the posts in order in ver2?

It would help, but could you post them without you sig..? because that makes it less readable IMO, after every part a sig disturbes me (not that it is a bad sig.... :D)
In #1 you can read continously without to much scrolling, in #2 it is harder. (and yes, im not so fond of scrolling while reading important stuff.. ;))

Do you mean avatar (at left) or signature (below)? I turned off my signature, didn't I?

I meant the avatar, just mixed them up (it was late for me..) and the little bar with profile pm etc. are in the way , if they could be removed from the faq it would be readable with less scrolling, or so i think.

I'm definately for Version 2. I can imagine it might stink on this particular forum as sometimes pages load REALLY slow (even with a 1.7+Mb cable connection), but for me it's a lot easier to have everything condensed so you don't have to scroll through too much literature to find what you want.

It's like looking at a table of contents vs. paging through the book.

Also, if you go with 2, consider some spacing of topics to make everything a little easier still...

example:

Topic 1
link

topic 2
link


----or---- (maybe)


topic 1
link
-----------------------
topic 2
link

You get the idea. To me it's a lot easier than:
topic
link
topic
link

Well.... neither turned out exactly how I hoped, so both will stay up until I get around to FAQver3.0 which will be a .html file that will live on the gallery server... ;) Sooner or later...

Thanks for all the input! :D
