Full Version: How about a New Section for the tutorials
Forums > News and Announcements > Feedback > Feedback Resolved Topics

okay.. some people would want a section that is only "Computer tutorials" and it will have like basic shortcuts around computer problems like failure to open certain programs when you have the requirements that the program needs..

but some people dont know certain things like Quitting programs that are stalled, and ending processes that are unnecessary. A lot of us in the Technology forum would be a part of this by using our minds to make good working tutorials for the people that need them.

I have a question here->>
i want to submit a tutorial that will help you guide through Computer Restoration and restroing your documents that dont show up once you restore the system.

where would that go in the tutorials section?

^ Well, if you wanted to do something like that, you can run it by an Admin or Michael (mipadi) and see if you can get it Pinned or not. I think we should have some pinned topics like that in Technology since a lot of Tech forums are like that.

But I don't see a need to create something like that in a tutorials section, because all of our stuff such as tutorials, scripts, and layouts are for designing or website construction. That seems out of our area to me.

Maybe instead of a whole new section, why not just create the tutorial, post it as a normal post on the forums and link them all together and just have a technology bible pinned or something?

I don't think it necessarily warrants a whole new subforum...

alright, cuz i was gonna submit a tutorial, but it was based on COMPUTER PERFORMANCE..

I agree with TJ and Kristina. Just do what TJ did with the Myspace Band tutorial over in Myspace Support (create a thread with whatever you want to include as far as all this goes) and have one of us pin it.

Couldn't you just put it in "All Other Tutorials"

Ah, I forgot about that section. I don't know, though. I think it would make more sense to be in technology.

Well, that can't be guaranteed that it will be pinned. People Staff, Head Staff, and Admins will have to debate whether it is good enough to be pinned up there. It's not like anything can be pinned.

okay so just for now, Make a Topic and put my tutorial and have others put their own?

Create the tutorial in Notepad, and make sure all your BB coding is right, then post the tutorial in CreateBlog support asking if it can be moved and pinned, or in Technology, but more staff would look at it if it was in CB support I suppose.

^ plus if it's pin-worthy, and posted in cbsupport, you or another ds could just pin it there and then move it, since moved topics stay pinned where they're moved to. Just sayin' :P

Ya we should just have a thread that doesnt allow any posts except for technology tutorials.
