Poll for our forum

Most forums I go on have "Stickies" at the top of the forum....with some very good info in them.

I just want to suggest to do this in the forum....things such as Mods,FAQ's and what not.With all off the knowledgeable people on here and there has been some great write write ups......which eventually get pushed back a few pages.
The sticky could be in alphebetical order with brief description and link to a write up,that way there are no questions in the sticky and it is used as a search function........< purely a suggestion on how to set it up.

If we want this I am not sure how to go about it so suggestions are welcome on that point also

I will send our moderator that question......I just want to see how the vote goes for a day or so.I am sure its a go......but dont want to jump the gun.I would need input and links from others to set it up.....so it would need to be a group effort to set up.

a sticky with good right ups we have had would come in handy for quite a few people in my opinion. i know cody has quite a few good right ups on changing an HPOP, dipstick o-ring fix, etc. and there are also other useful write ups that always seem to drop back then are hard to find when you need them if you forget to save it to your favorites. GOOD IDEA

Cody's thread gave me the idea......there is alot of great info out there that is asked about almost daily.....and sometimes not answered quickly when someone is in a pinch.

i think stick'ems are good.
i would like having a sticky about GP's and how to test them and alot of other things like brakes, gauge installs,down pipes, CPS repairs, and brake/rotor removal and replacement ECT.
it would be nice to have it on the top of the page instead of searching for 1 hr only to come close finding what you were looking for and then having to start another thread.
just my .02 cents
Mitch

Me too, The stickies are needed for the newb's just for the acronyms we use.
I agree with the 'duck' too.... It keeps it a little more personal.

Im with duck on this one too. I already voted though but helping out the new guys is always good. Usually that the only time I get to post anyhow. Like when they ask where is the fuel filter. I get excited when I can answer it for them. lol But either way is a good one.

Edit: It would be nice to have the links to all the good write ups at one spot though.

Yes I agree with Cody,Jim about being more personal .....There are alot of write ups on the board that are 50 pages back.....I just want to have them in one spot.....we will still get the "why do I do this" and "did this....but not working".
acronyms are a plus for it too Jim...did not even think about that.
We could even do a "Members Rigs" section.
We can have a vote to what we want up there if you guys want.

I learn something from this site everyday(Thanks Guys!!!)...I am by no means a Guru here,but try to help as much as I can....and the search function absolutely sucks.

I will start reading and collecting write ups,mods ect......if you have any good links send them to my email.
