Damus, for the searchable Table of Contents, you should use phrases not found elsewhere in the document (i.e. if you search "forums," there are 11 results on the front page).

Consider something like this:

Table of Contents:
Forums -- S1F
User Groups -- S2U
Emblems -- S3E
Interface -- S4I
Private Messaging -- S5P
Settings -- S6S
Vote Tags -- S7V
LaTeX Tags -- S8L
BB Code Tags -- S9B

And then you have to repeat the code part (i.e. S1F) at the beginning of each section. Then, searching that phrase will take you RIGHT to the proper section.

[QUOTE=Roflcopter;259408]Once this is finished it can replace the vote tutorial sticky, since it includes a vote tutorial here.


Edit: Might I also suggest a table of contents at the front, with thing slike SEC 1 or SEC 2 so you can jump to them with control + F[/QUOTE]

Agree with the searchable table of contents. Would make it insanely easy to navigate.

That's why I recommended breaking it up into multiple posts, Damus. This happens sometimes with long posts.

Jeeze; I wish I could rep you more than once Damus.

[QUOTE=Slaol;259178]I think we need a section that is more obvious for new members. Either a new section dedicated to new members, or just making the current one more obvious. If you aren't entirely sure where this should be put, how will they know where to look for it? The site was pretty confusing when I first joined. Might encourage more people to put in an effort if it is more obvious where to go for the information.

Also, can we just all +rep Damus a couple times?[/QUOTE]

Agreed on both counts. Seems weird to not have an Introductions forum.

This is really great so far, Damus. Thanks!

Feel free to make multiple posts if it helps keep things organized; I will not infract for post farming if it's double posting for different sections of a guide. If you end up doing that, I will remove all posts that interrupt the guide once you are done, before we move it into it's eventual resting place (probably GD? Not sure yet).

The goal for this is to consolidate as many stickies as possible into a single thread (that will probably get posted in several places). Maybe add in info about the MC server (from the sticky in GD) and the special tags (vote count system, LaTeX tag)?

Slaol is going to be Bug Reports mod, btw.
