I need everyones vote on this as a forum community (Please!)

[IanT]

Ok, I have been debating about trying to make a concise directory of all of the tutorials that we use frequently, but keep getting lost in the forum. I know that this issue has come up a few times with people trying to find tutorials but not being able to. I was thinking of putting them up on a site for ease of use so that we could all visit it...and everything is right there...

... Obviously this would require me to either make new tutorials from the ones that are already created by users -OR- request permission from the users who created them for their work to be included on the site (of course they will be cited as the authors etc...)

Just wanted everyones thoughts on it as to whether it is something worth pursuing or not...

I would like as many members to vote as possible so an objective decision can be made.

Thanks much!

voted yes, it would be nice to have everything in one spot.

 

[IanT]

thank you for your opinion I appreciate your time!

I really think it would be a benefit to everyone to have everything in one place this way no more searching through thousands of posts etc....

I know the "search" function on the forum pretty much doesnt get me anywhere...at least in my experience... Im always better off typing into google the thing im searching for and then "," soapmakingforum lol....

I wish we could improve the search function a bit too

Ok.... I can seeeeeeeeeeee you... 17 people opened this thread but havent voted??? it take 2 seconds!...

 

[Twilitr]

come one guys, with new members all the time it'd be nice to have easy access to everything instead of digging through threads, i know Ive done my fair share on here. Google and Bing can only do so much.

Sure; very useful andnot just for the newbies! Let me know if you need anything; I do rtcp, swirls, layers, textured tops and whipped soap. Would give me a good excuse to borrow a camera, or even buy one

Sweet... well I am going to go with the benefit of the doubt ... whats that they say about customers? like if one customer complains or gives feedback it equals to a certain amount of the percentage of your customer base that feels the same way but is afraid to put forth their opinion? I think Im going to have to accept the fact that not many people are going to vote on this topic (being that I see that nearly 50 people have viewed the thread and obviously arent interested in providing feedback)... so the few opinions that I get... good stuff... Im not trying to force anyone to do what they dont want to do. I put this thread up knowing that I would get a lot of positive reactions towards it but I would like to know if anyone has anything negative or constructive criticism to say and if there are any cons involved in making a all-in-one SMF tutorial website.

lol I am going to take you up on that!!! If you would like (and anyone else who would like to be involved in submissions...) start to compile any information you would like to be included.... pictures or any other multimedia would be good if you have them, but I can always rig up fresh photos to a tutorial that has yet to have pics taken of them.

Thanks for your opinions!

[tamarajane]

I voted yes too Ian. The search feature is ok :roll: but is sometimes hard to find exactly what you're looking for. Btw, unemployed and bored too!

 

[heyjude]

I can only see the benefits, Ian. It sounds like a great idea.
