I have searched through all of the threads and apologise if I have missed a related topic.
I am trying to start a forum for a fairly non-computer literate market and have come across one issue in an otherwise outstanding board. There is no Help (instructions) feature for new users to look at.
Is this available (and I'm just missing it), in development or not an option at all.
Any feedback would be gratly appreciated.
Thanks
Do you mean like how to use a forum?
Yip, I know it sounds lame but this is for a green house gas community that barely knows how to use e-mail.
Ok, for now you can start a thread and make it sticky, like this:
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php … mp;t=52382
Include links, your own how-tos, etc.
For 1.2, I'll see what I can put together for a new user type of guide.
This was suggested many moons ago and I posted agreeing with the suggestion for the same reasons.

I still think its a good idea if only as a mod. Actually I think there is a FAQ mod around here somewhere
I agree. We need some kind of general usage documentation. Hmm.
What about a very simply FAQ system for general usage.
A language file with faq1 , answer1 etc
A simply php faq file which outputs the FAQ as a plain and easily printed page. Multilingual and easily added to.
Multilingual and easily added to.
How would you make it multilingual?
Sorry. Wrong word. I just meant it could be easily translated along with the other language files.
The big problem is actually writing it. The details regarding localisation and linking to it and stuff like that can be sorted out later.

I'll start putting a newbie guide together:
What is a forum?
What is a topic?
How do you reply?
What is LOL, IMHO, WTF?
etc...
