WHICH REMINDS ME - Hyjynx, anyway to contact the main forum mod, maybe to open up a new section for "how-to's" and such? The FAQ section is "forum faq", and I think our forum members will benefit a lot if there was a "how-to" section... but not so much "public" - more like a section where you can't actually make a new thread - but you can post questions on current threads... and only mods can move threads into the "how-to" section. I think that would be better organized and it'll keep the section from being flooded with some useless stuff (i.e. the parts review section is rarely filled with actual "parts reviews").

Excellent how-to l2aine. I'm about to start buying some tools when I move back up to the D/FW area and these have been helping alot. 
Ok, now sorry for being a bit off topic, but just wanted to add my 2 cents here.
You could create a group and add members who know what they're really doing and want to write up how-to's. Then create a forum in which the permissions only allow that group to "Can post new threads". Your registered group would only allow "Can reply to other's threads" and below along with the normal view + search at the top.
Hm, now that I think about it I'm sure your admin(s) already know this. So just ignore me.
