Frequently Asked Questions

  • Popular Post

It would be nice if a FAQ thread could be highlighted in RED and listed at the top of the FORUM page that is alway viewable. This might reduce daily multiple repeated questions and help new and old members search common questions and topics.

  • I would love to see a tab at the very top of the page where we have Forum, Community, Photos. And have a tab that is labeled "frequent questions' and in the pull down menu: stalls, hair loss, vitamin

    I'll volunteer, I'd be more than happy to compile the list.

    That's great. I really hope this helps! Can I also suggest that if a new post is posted in the incorrect category that it be moved to correct category with a note like "Your post has been moved to "

I really was hoping that I wouldn't need to write and compile the FAQ's myself. If everyone contributes just a few questions/answers' date=' we can really get the ball rolling.[/quote']

We are talking about it on the vets forum right now that's why I bumped it :)

I'm more of a wise cracking, once in a while dropping a pearl of wisdom type person myself

(Perfect for moderator wouldn't you say? :P)

But hopefully we can get this thing going.

Well let's stop talking about things and start doing! :P

If it were up to me I'd do away with the entire concept of moderators and moderation. I'd love to run my communities like reddit lol.

Well there goes my shameless attempt at power!!!

Ok I will bug the others that are sick of the "same old questions" to do something other than whining about it.

Oh and if we go Reddit style can we have a cute little mascot too??

:P

I have a request. Can the FAQ be curated by the veterans? There is a lot of misinformation (unintential I am sure) that gets bandied around by newbies. I think the FAQ should be trustable.

I'd like to help out with it even though I'm not a veteran. Where do you suggest that the list is compiled, Alex?

You know you're on my (very) short list if we ever do need more mods. I plan on adding roles that members can volunteer to fill once the new site is rolled out. Members could be part of welcoming committees, spam annihilators, topic editors (spelling, grammar etc.) and so on.

Thank you very much!

I agree whole heartily on this too!

Ha! I was thinking something more across these lines.....

Lol! Ok you win, I like that one :P

Oooooh.. I wanna be the annihilator, bwahaha ....

I'm sorry due to business travel and a busy work schedule I haven't been on the site much and won't be in the future so I haven't been able to do this. It might be best for someone who frequents the site daily to comprise this list. Apologies.
