I have noticed that alot of people have very similar questions on a hack thread. Often it is difficult to find the answers because of the huge amount of posts in a thread (some with 50+ pages). It would be nice to have some type of tool where they could post the common questions with answers in them to help this out. Just an idea.

I suppose you could always use the Search This Thread Function as well, the answer is almost always within a couple posts of the question

I thought about that when I started porting my Hacks Database system. Each hack thread has it's own bug system, and update system. I started adding a F.A.Q. system as well. I would love to see vB.org do something like that. Pretty please.!.!. :)

That install system looks quite nifty. :) I really would like a bug reports system here, I think access to it would need to be carefully considered tho - perhaps only for hacks that reach a certain number of installs.
