Removed #1 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Is there a FAQ thread somewhere with topics that frequently come up already linked to other relevant threads? I don't know if that makes sense...I see lots of stickies and such but not just one thread of FAQ's... It'd be like Thinking of getting a puppy? link here link here link here Crate Training Help link here link here link here Dangerous Food link here link here link here Heat Stroke link here Feeding link here link here The search option is great, but some of the newer members with the most questions aren't always familiar enough with the way things are to find it right away, and even then they don't always know what it is they're looking for...just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I proposed something similar about 6 months ago. Marc (Admin) explained he wasn't in favour of the idea because,. . . One of the GREAT things about the forum is the chance for members to HELP other members By giving THEIR advice based on their own experience. And so the person asking would get a range of answers from all types of Husky owners. The person asking can then make up their own mind which advice to take based on the general consensus. By Having a FAQ section for raising your Husky or dealing with common Husky issues the Forum (in the FAQ) would then be saying THIS is the only and correct way to deal with this problem. If something then happened badly as a result of taking this ONE piece of advice then it might reflect badly on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #1 Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 See I was thinking of a link to other relevant threads not a final definitive answer or stance taken by the forum...but if the convo has already been had and hashed my bad for not seeing it before I put this up. No worries at all!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries at all!!! That's ok it was a good idea, keep thinking about how we can improve things. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 That's ok it was a good idea, keep thinking about how we can improve things. Good job. Actually, Andy, I like this idea. Unlike the FAQ where there are questions asked and answers given (thus leading to to idea that "this" is the accepted way) creating a FAQ which links to the original threads would entice the new user to look into the FAQ's and then be directed into the forum for the answers. While it would be "a bit" of work to set up and maintain, it would also give the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Not a big fan of FAQ as it creates inactivity IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
