We've been doing some administrative stuff with the new mods and such, and as I've been placed in charge of the technical forums, I would like to clean up a bit to make the site more smooth for members looking for technical information. I would like to propose removing the "How To" forum section completely, moving all topics to their appropriate technical forums and linking them in the FAQ. I personally find that forum to be outdated and a bad fit with the rest of the site, it was made long before the FAQs for each section were implemented. I feel that this structure would not only streamline the forum, but also encourage new members and even older members to use the FAQs, as well as keep all related material (modification, stock, electronics etc) in the same forum, rather than having good articles in a place that some people may not look. Of course, I don't want to make a major change and piss off the majority of the community, so we are going to vote!
I have always loved the section, because when I need anything, i simply go straight to the how-to section. I can see maybe where you are going with this though...
So would each section i.e. stock garage have it's own thread of how to's with links? so stock garage-how to's- change oil. Is that what you're thinking or would each how to be it's own thread you'd have to seach for individually?
I voted No because the individual FAQ does not obviously imply the location of any given How-To. FAQ sections often contain forum rules and trivial info, and may be passed up by the visitor or newb looking for specific info.
A dedicated How-To forum is a no-brainer for someone looking for specific solutions to problems.
Spreading the information base across numerous forums and placing them among the "stickys" may prove tedious for impatient searchers.

As far as the pics go, if someone wants to find the pics or send a pm to me with links, I can edit the post and either put the pics on WI.net or have one of the admins upload them to the server.
That makes no sense, it's disorganized and misplaced.
By breaking down and putting a particular "How To" in it's appropriate section makes more sense as well as cleans and organizes the forum a little bit better.
Ppl need to look more at the FAQ sections in each sub forum anyway.
Yes these howe to's need to be more organized into their proper sections it would make it so more easier to find what you are looking for. and delete sum of these F/S threads that hae the item sold or no activity instead of locking them and letting them fall off. Just a suggestion.
Just a reminder, this thread/poll will close tonight around 8PM eastern!
