Perhaps a MISC. PROBLEMS section that could have the
Pick up your party
and maybe (?) a word or two about how long it takes to become a Monk? Things like that that players sometimes mistake for being techie problems but really aren't OR -

Maybe those could end up in the BEST TIPS but linked from the TECHIE thread? (nothing like keeping it simple, eh?) LOL!!!

Let's get the bulk of the TECHIE thread done as already planned. We can tweak it as needed.

I've got some BC errands to run today so will be gone until this afternoon.

I just got a chance to read this this morning.

I prefer WillowIX's coloration format than my bullet format.
Lets go with the red, yellow, yellow, blue that she has. And put all the solution posters names in one list separated with commas. There is no need for a separate line for each persons name. I dont know what I was thinking. Short. Remember. Short is best.

That´s the beauty of the "a name tag" Detah! As long as the post is on 1 page it doesn´t matter that there´s an extra line to announce the people who provided the solution. We link straight to the answer from the index and then back to the index in the post. No scrolling necessary!

But what of teh horisontal lines? I like them personally since they separate the answers.

I like the format

-----
problem
solution
citation
-----

But I dont think it will work well with how some of the problem and solutions exist.

The nature of some of the questions require several fixes (solutions) and some of the problems should point to the same solution.

Therefore the use of horizontal lines would force you to reproduce problems and solutions more than once. And that defeats the purpose of merging all the posts.

But if you can find a better way than my bullets, go for it. I am not commited to my setup. And I will not be insulted if anyone changes it. It was just the clearest best way I could think of at the time.

Hmm, no there´s no need to post the same answer twice. All the win2000 issues under game crashes will still link to the same post so there´s no need to post the win2k answers under the game crashes, they´ll link to the windows post.

Did everyone get a copy of Detah's wwtechie1.doc to look over and review?

I got a copy, but I haven't had a chance to take a serious look at it yet (sorry, detah).

I'll get to it this evening, I suspect. Finished my active MM9 game last night, and I need a breather.

Wyvern · 08-06-2002, 10:31 AM

Willow? Packrat?

Did you get copies??

I really rely on all of your opinions for refining the posts into the final form. I can (not today, I'm still semi BC brain dead) try to read them over for a non-techie critique but all of you are much better qualified to see that all the problems/solutions are explained clearly.

WillowIX · 08-06-2002, 03:04 PM

Oooops. Yes I´ve gotten it but I´ve, eeehmm, somewhat forgotten all about it lol..

Detah · 08-16-2002, 03:56 PM

Why dont we just post it as is and then we can refine it as we get input.
I know you made that one change that we talked about, so whoever edited that last fix, post their version please. The sooner we get that puppy up, the sooner no one else needs to look at that horrible old techie thread. Boy, is that thing scraggly.
