suggestion Top 100 Search Topics Listed To Be Listed And Hot Linked.

[eurotrash]

So, considering the name of this web site, maybe we should offer some actual FAQs.  Lets build an alphabetized list, as stated above.  Add a tab for "FAQs" to the top of the home page.  And then hot link the topics to pull down every thread mentioning the key words. 

 

From the Google home page, I typed in "site:www.bmw2002faq.com heater blower motor fan", another search then with wheel size.  You get the idea...

 

Example:

 

1.  Blower Motor

 

2.  Wheel Size

 

What do you all think?  Steve?  Think there's any value to this?

I too find it ironic that the site doesn't have an actual section titled "FAQ". I realize the technical articles are basically that, but still.

nothing ironic, that is exactly what the articles section is.  in fact, on the old site that section was actually called the FAQ. that is why there is also a forum section called "FAQ under construction".  that is where the draft FAQ's were proposed.  people need to take the time to polish up write ups on topics of interest and post them as articles.

 

of course, newbies would have to actually READ the articles section rather than just going straight to the discussion area and asking questions without looking first.  never understood how people use google to find everything else in their lives, yet when they hit the faq they apparently forget how to search.....

If if makes you feel any better in my experience it's been every single motorcycle/car forum I've been on, so don't think it's limited to just the FAQ.

agree to an extent. R3v is prime example of low S/N ratio.  the forums i have seen where majority of folks actually search and bring up old threads is S14.net, S14power, and the track section of bimmerforums.

I can rename the section to FAQ  

 

the idea behind the site was always to actually have articles and not just the forum. A lot of people write very good posts that get things added to them and the threads go for a few pages and then everything gets forgotten.  That is what the article section is for. 

 

We are set up so that any member is allowed to add and modify any article we have.
