The FAQs system is flawed at best

Amiga1992 · 09 May 2004, 05:30

First of there's this wee link at the top that says FAQ. Not noticeable enough.

Second, where did all the previous FAQ threads went to, like the readme 1st, cody's whdload faq, and amiga today faq by korodny? Am I missing something? If I am this is wrong, since this is the thing that should be noticeable as first thing in the EAB, and currently it isn't. It used to be! I couldn't find anything easily in the FAQ link. It should be more straightforward.

Anyway, clue me in. I want to tell newbies to READ THE BLOODY FAQ ;D

I think what is ticking me is that you can't READ any FAQ, you have to search through them (if any). You don;t even know if the topic you are looking for is covered to begin with, back then I could see the list of covered topics.

Yeah, the entire Read.Me forum has gone, I think RCK needs to ressurect it...

Found in Amiga scene:

How to find the ADF you are looking for ?

Cody's WHDLoad FAQ

Proposal for "Amiga today" FAQ

I still think it would be a much better idea to send an automatic email to all newly registered users providing links to the FAQs and urging them to take note.

IT would stop alot of needless work.

All the old FAQ need to be converted in the new format:
http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=eab_rules

I'll do it asap.

Okay, admin system to Manage FAQ is ready, who will help me to update it for the community and newbies ?

Akira ? Paul ?

I don't mind helping out with moving old stuff to the new FAQ format

This new FAQ system is hard to manage but after you did all is well! i'm starting to get the grasp of it, already addded 2 or 3 of the old FAQs into it, and Im reformatting teh ones that needed reformatting.

So, can you say it yet Akira? Can we ask to put in a request to d/l C64 r**z in the Zone (whilst posting it in "Amiga Scene"), yet?
