How a Captive Nut turned into a How-To-Make-a-How-To-Thread

As a test, I have added a thread acting as a reference to information on a particular subject to be found somewhere on this forum:

Reference: Caged or captive nuts

I can see anyone looking for certain information finding useful threads, and groups them in a new "reference" thread so others can benefit from what was found.

It does mean anyone gathering information on this forum needs to go through the trouble of acting as a sort of editor.

Is this what you mean?

Thanks,

This is what I had in mind, Hanno. (and also how I read Grants comment(?))


One HOW-TO thread....preferebly a sticky with links to HOW-TO info elsewhere on the forum.
This way people interested in techniques, tricks etc. can start by accessing this thread, which is easy to find...always on top of the list in the resto-forum. If they can't find the info there, they could always use the search function or google.
Maybe the thread should even be locked to avoid people responding to the links instead of responding to the actual HOW-TO as displayed within other threads or stand-alone HOW-TO threads, like the ones posted by Phil for instance. When a new batch of HOW-TO links is available, they could be added to the thread by a mod and than locked again(?).


Feel free to delete or move the new thread....I just made a thread to illustrate what it could look like.
