thanks guys this thread was put up for you guys, and it does very little good if not kept as a sticky and fades out of sight, I'm not sure why it was taken down and no one will tell me why it was taken down?


as you all can see it's been hit many many times with little replies as it was deigned to do.and that shows it's being used as a good thing.. I thought this pole would help show that..maybe if you all would tell the moderators it should be kept up it may help..
I know we have the search feature but that gets to be a PITA to compile anything
your thoughts??

 

[Deweyknives]

Sticky it for sure!! A lot of questions can be answered by looking around in these links. I've spent a lot of time poking around the links listed in here and find it time well spent. Keep it where we can find it and keep adding to it!!!

 

[bryce]

I wouldnt even concider not sticking it up

that is unless someone had a even better one

Mark why the take down..??

[Steven Penner]

I find compliations of tips and tutorials usefull. Quite often i want to find a tidbit that i read before but cannot find again.
This way i can go straight to the gold and skip most of the chatter.

 

[Whoever Wherever]
