It might be a little late but can we please have a new forum topic named "How to's"

- This how to section will be alongside the "general discussion", "other topics" forums, to clear up my idea - i had trouble explaining -.-

This forum topic would include any 'how to'  or instructions to make anything, not necessarily slings, but things like concrete ammo, catapults etc..

I know we have the advice and guides section, but that just covers the really good sling designs, and not the other ideas - some of the minor ones spark up new sling ideas and inventions/projects . Also, other weapon how to's in the "other topics" section could be easier to find in one place rather than search for it.

Perhaps we could move the other instructional pieces spread out throughout the forums into this section.

Anyone have any flaws, queries or comments to help this or oppose this?

Thanks -camo

Well I can see your point - most people never quite seem to grasp how to 'Search' for things on the forum.

Maybe a 'How to use the search engine' tutorial might be an idea to sticky up somewhere - which would solve the problem of: 'how do i find information on the (insert frequently discussed topic of your choice) that most members seem to have at some point or other

See diagram below. The most important one to tick is the box that says; Display only one result per
thread.
It's also a good idea to change the: This post was made in the last.... TO All Posts.

I think he's right. We should have a How-To's section, which, if they are of good quality and there is general approval, could much more easily be moved to the articles section, it would make it a lot easier to find those misc. articles that you want, and also easier to have a specific section to be able to post under if you have a How-To.

It's no bother to move them - but then you end up with two article sections and a more confusing forum.
I just prefer to encourage people to use the search engine or look back through older topics - you'll be amazed what you'll find
