I'd still like to see a clearer distinction between where the sticky posts end and the new posts begin. It would be nice if there were some kind of divider there.

I understand your concern, and will look into the issue. I can't promise anything, but I will see what can be done to better separate the announcement/sticky posts.

Why the shift to putting tutorials into the forum? They were much more usable in PDF format.

A few reasons, such as ease of receiving feedback and the fact that we can quickly create and post one without messing with the website code.


...Wait, when did we have PDF tutorials? :shock:

This is the main thing. While I'm working on setting up the new website, James can create a tutorial without having to bother me at all. Fewer delays in creating new tutorials this way. I imagine they will be put into HTML format once I am done with the new site and have time to convert them.

Funny, I have several PDF files.

Maybe it's the old SSC-32 manual I'm thinking of. I just checked the first tutorial I came to, and yes, it's web-based pages. That probably required a lot of "editing" into HTML pages (or whatever they're called). I get it now.

I just print off whatever I'm going to study. Guess I just like professional "manual looking" manuals. But making manuals is probably more work.

Lots of extra "junk" at the top and bottom of the Forum version when I print it out.

Actually it looks like one could cut and paste into a word document, and clean the presentation up quite a bit.

I would put a proper header into the "document", and instigate some sort of numbering system, like a "build" number.

Just my thoughts. The information content is still there.
