OK, I copied the main sticky to a backup location so ours is back online.

I'm leaving the "submit new entries" turned off, though, at least for a while. There are still
two entries in there that I need to add to the main sticky, too.... Maybe I'll just incorporate
'em into the up-and-coming version.....

 

Chris,
I understand leaving the new stickie submission turned off. But, it it does take as long as some think......

And, in case you do take new submissions, I think this one is a candidate: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-question.html

 

The only reason I didn't put the submission sticky back up is cuz we already have 3
stickies up there and I don't want to exceed that as the real estate taken up by those +
Announcements (if any) is already more than I like.

If anybody has any submissions during this interim time, feel free to submit 'em here.

I have a suggestion on how to reduce the number of Stickied topics, though I don't know how well it'll work...

Maybe make the How-To and Submission topics into one. Basically, the first post contains all the How-To topic links. Any posts after that are those of members, admins, mods, etc. discussing submissions. If a submission is accepted, it's added to the first post.

The current layout of the How-To topic is to have each category divided into its own post (a post for Electrical, a post for Engine, a post for Drivetrain, etc.). If the links were divided in a more condensed fashion, like my example below, then you could fit alot more info in a lot less space. (I do realize that posts here most likely have a character limit, though, so that could present a problem)

Example:


ELECTRICAL
[simple description here; basically describe what's covered]

--- [link]
--- [link]
--- [link]


ENGINE
[simple description here; basically describe what's covered]

--- [link]
--- [link]
--- [link]


DRIVETRAIN
[simple description here; basically describe what's covered]

--- [link]
--- [link]
--- [link]
--- [link]







Or something to that effect.

Anyway, I support you 100%. Better organization will make for a better experience here as well as make it much easier for people to find the info they need.

 

Thanks Chris, I love the idea, regarding the titles we have to guess what the OP is asking. If you have ever been over to RV.NET when we place the curser over the title we see the first few lines of the thread so if I don't like the topic or can't help I move on. Gerry

 

i am definitely for this idea, a very big undertaking, and i really appreciate the corrections of misspellings, the better part of the time my hands are going faster than my mind can react and i miss the occasional misspelling

good luck!

 

It would be nice to have a wright up from a knowledgeable individual
on how to tune your engine / carb with a vacuum gauge. I6 - v8 - v6
Thanks

 

Hey, guys,

What screen resolutions do you use (on non-mobile devices)? e.g.

640 x 480
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1152 x 648
1280 x 1024
1680 x 1050
something else

Want to experiment with some formatting stuff, just do a quick reply here,
thanks.

1440 x 900 wide screen LCD

 

Main monitor: 1920x1080
Secondary Monitor: 1680x1050

Usually have the forums on both monitors at once...

 

Actually, I'm using 1280x800 on this Mac, but I also use a Windows machine awa my iPhone.

Having said that, here are the last 500 user's resolutions hitting my web site:

Unknown resolution: 33%
1280x1024: 27%
1600x1200: 10%
1152x864: 5%
800x600: 5%

 

1920*1200 AND 1680*1050 at home, 1680*1050 and 1280*1024 at work.

 

1024X768 ... gotta scroll to see the right side!

-Enjoy
fh : )_~

 

1680x1050.

 

Man, it's looking like the days where 1024 x 768 is "big" are LONG gone....
