Hmmm, that could be tricky. Perhaps it could be one tech thread and one with general "how to dos"? For instance a thread on how to use virtualdub, increase swap etc. and then one of pure problems like black screen at startup, can´t enter buildings. You then give the link in the tech thread and the instructions on how to use them (if there are such) is in another? But that would be like the best tip thread wouldn´t it? Couldn´t we remake the tech tread to a database? Look at my thread tech help. We post tech problems as individual threads and then when they´re solved we add them to the database so we can access them easily. We would then get a small tech thread that wouldn´t increase in size too much. And if we index that one it´d be easy to find the info. The "a name" tag didn´t work unfortunately. Does anyone know a way to link to individual posts within a thread? LOL my fingers itches, I really want to get started with this.

And to add, good idea about including what should be posted packrat

. We could add the remove bump request as well to that.
