Yep: however, ITT's forums -are- the source of reference information right now, because so much of it is in flux. Once the N810s start shipping to devs in earnest, this will shift into more finessed stuff, but right now it's all experiments and hearsay and forums aren't too bad at that.

A gathering of crows is a murder, a gathering of witches is a coven, a gathering of n00bs is a forum. A few dedicated people moving threads out of the main view could still go a long way.

P.S. We have verrrrry different ideas of cool stuff. :)

Re: New Forum Request
 

Eh, sorta. Stuff like, "How do I upgrade?", "How do I do a factory reset?", or "How/where do I get applications?" are straightforward issues, and the sorts of things that a wiki can easily provide solutions to.

Just a little out of left field. :confused:

Re: New Forum Request
 

Two enhancements to this idea:

1) Have a 'No Thanks' button (actually I think that two additional buttons would be better: 'Good Stuff' and 'Crap' and just leave 'Thanks' as a social nicety button).

and

2) Weight 'Good Stuff':) and 'Crap':mad: by the number of posts of the person pressing the button and sort the posts accordingly. That way folks like the General and Milhouse could instantly promote/demote an item.

Re: New Forum Request
 

And a 'for the wiki button' - so that useful posts with instructions can be reviewed and then put into the wiki by a proposed wiki-writing team. See here.

Way too many trolls, unpleasant folk and people who don't like hearing the truth around here for that. The idea is to have positive reenforcement. ;)

Post-count really isn't a great indicator for anything (other than a lot of free time :p), and I don't want smalls clicks of my mouse to have that kind of impact anyway. ;)

I'm not actually going to bother quoting G.A.'s previous post, but thanks for writing it so I didn't have to!

(OT: You mentioned "emulators and other cool stuff" --- I personally think emulation on the tablets is a waste, as it requires some real magic to get it working at acceptable speeds, and I'd say that magic is better applied to A2DP/MPlayer/EFL. Not that I wouldn't play Chrono Trigger on the damn thing, but I've already got it on my PSP and my DS and my PSX and my...etc.)

Oh, pfft. That was just an example for the discussion, not anything indicative of my particular tastes on the matter. :p

Re: New Forum Request
 

Search sucks. What'd be nice, is if someone gets a useful answer regardless of how long they''ve been here, add it to the Wiki. Community goes both ways, helped and helping. If you're helped, why not give back by helping (and making the wiki a useful thing.) The eeeuser.com wiki is awesome for example and covers 3 OSes.

I'm also stickin by that thread I posted about troubleshooting. The forum is 97% troubleshooting literally 99% of it is all over the place. True it'd be the most active area and the rest would be near vacant of activity but jeeze. Neat stuff that isn't troubleshooting is completely lost.
