hilde makes a good point. How about putting a "word search" feature on the forums? We all know how to do that but it would be nice to have a google just for audio terms and other freakish things.
Could Audiogon create some FAQ pages in each Forum Category?
So many questions get posed here that have been asked before, sometimes with the same exact wording. Frequently, the advice to the OP will tell them to "go search the threads for ___."
It would be great if Audiogon could create some FAQ pages with subcategories for each category. In each subcategory, old threads addressing basic questions could be pinned.
So, for example, the main "Speaker" category could have FAQ threads on
"How to connect a subwoofer to my amp" or
"How will I know if my amp can power these speakers?" or
"Bookshelf vs. Tower"
Etc.
Creating FAQ subcategories in each category would be relatively easy, could be added to easily, and would make it simple for forum users to know where to point new users asking FAQ’s in threads.
If Audiogon wanted users to help generate this, a thread calling for "FAQ suggestions" could simply be posted in each category, suggestions could be collected and then all that would be left would be the work of finding a few good threads to put into the categories.
