guides suggestion

[Slimy]

Split up essential guides into specific headings because there are tons of tons of guides that go wasted. I'm not sure about the categories... u guys can choose :). Lol, that's all i have to say, hope u guys agree, because it really would be useful!

I agree with this.... Maybe make a little icon that signifies what that article is about, instead of the little red page for frequently replied to posts and white page for others.

Kinda like a file/folder or something for a piece on software, a dremel or something similar for modding articles, a video card or processor icon for hardware related articles. An article internet related could you the little networking icon from windows, or similar. Then you could put a legend to the icons at the top.

Another neat thing would be to sort by icon, if possible.

Just my 2 pennies.

I would like to see some way of sorting the guides out, especially if it adds a request section (in some form)

Too many usefull guides filter to the bottom, maybe something like "requests,hardware,software,misc".

*drops $0.02 into the jar*

Maybe renaming the bulk of the threads there to have a:

[sOFTWARE]Slipstream Windows

[HARDWARE]Analogue video to Digital

[NEOWIN]n00b flaming 101

[PERSONAL]Viagra can make your dreams come true

style?

(except for the last two, of course)

[Slimy]

^ yup something like that would be very good, it's a shame so many guides are at the bottom of the list :no:

[Slimy]

how can we take the next step to actually get this working??

[pimpshiznid]

wait for neobond or redmak to approve it, if they like the idea.

It's not a bad idea. Have to see what the admins think.

Don't say that. Just because they didn't formally tell us, doesn't mean it won't happen.

It's probably on a list somewhere. I'd be happier seeing the board run smoother (not saying it isn't running smooth. Just saying... :p ) than have this done.

There's quite a bit on everyone's plate at the moment, but that doesn't mean current ideas aren't reviewed and potentially added to the list. :)

Keep the ideas for improvements coming!

This is a superb idea. Then people can search for perhaps Titles containing "Windows" In the GUIDES Forum. It'll make things MUCH faster. Rated this thread a 5.

[Slimy]

yay! neowin is getting only better :yes:

[Toxicfume Veteran]

I like the idea too.

[ethief]

yep i rated this thread a 5, it is about time someone brought this up. half of the things in the "essential guide" section are only links to other sites or questions like "where can i find this guide"
