How to's forum - please clean it up
 

I just spent 5 minutes looking for a thread there. There are 43 threads and 41 redirects. How many more need to pile up before someone deletes them?

Here's how to minimize question threads...
The problem is the title. It says How To's. Think of a user seeing that title. He will think.."Oh, this is where I ask a question on how to do something". If you rename the forum to 3.5 Tutorials, the rate of questions there will drop dramatically. Having people read forum descriptions or stickies is not an option. They don't and they wont. There is nothing you can do to change that.

We could force them to read the stickies - We could then force them to agree to abide by the laws of that forum, and then set our Dragon on them if they break it :D

I give up.

I've cleaned it up, really was a pain looking at it ;)

However, I think the problem is that people don't understand what How-To's are ...

Well, for those that don't....

How-To's forum = basically a TUTORIAL section, NOT to ASK questions in this area. There's a forum called QUESTIONS for that.

IMO, people who can't read that.....................well, nevermind, I'll be nice :)

Thanks Andreas!

Thats why I say to rename it to Tutorials. Trust me, it will work! Move the question forum to the top and that will also help.

VERY good Idea

I've renamed the forum, hopfully there will be less questions posted there now. :)

Very nice.

Thank you VERY much :)
