    I wonder if we could set up something like wikipedia uses, so relevent updates can be added any time they are found, and you would just have a moderator occasionly look at the topic to see if the changes should be kept or discarded.

    Shoot me a list of what you would like to have "Stuck" and I'll do it... Remember, too many stickies and you have the same problem.. Folks don't wanna look first. If there are a lot of post with the same topic but need to be weeded out.. Let me know also..


    I like the wiki idea but to integrate into the site.. Hmmmm

    I already have a wiki setup (using mediawiki). But it is not public yet... but I've been reluctant because I don't want to impede on Vehicross.info...

    What do you all think?

    Wikis are wonderful, but can be overwhelming. We run one through work with just about all work related information. I would suggest baby steps with some stickies if anything.

    As for the stickies themselves, I think only the most revolving issues should be nailed up. The search tool is still our friend and it should be used for less pressing issues.

    My proposal: a single sticky set up as a READ FIRST FAQ in all forums. In this single thread would be a list of links to a walkthrough or informational post (on this site or even another) regarding the issue.

    So, I guess we should get to compiling some info and putting it someplace where we can link to it.

    Works for me! The compiling part is the hard one.

    Agreed. I only wish I had the time to scour and compile. I guess it will just remain and idea until someone takes up the baton, heh. Perhaps for future ref, any post that has the Word of the VX God in it can be a good starting point.

    Someone would have to have editing level access.

    Lift options

    Maybe a tire and wheel gallery? (another overused Question)

    I'll start compiling a list offline, i've done this like 3 or 4 times now on different forums.

    When done I'll set it up and we can have some of the know-it-alls (I dont mean any disrespect by that) inspect the information in the threads and weed out the incorrect from the correct info...
