How to section

I've managed to find all kinds of cool posts by Mark and others about DIY projects, tips for refugiums, tank set-ups, utah rock, etc. But I had to do searches and read through a lot of different threads to find the info.

I think it would be a good idea to set up a section on the forum of just How to.... posts. You could sticky the most read/important ones like How to set up an affordable saltwater tank, or How to properly acclimate your fish, etc. so that they stayed at the top of the section and were easy to find.

This would make the information a lot easier to find for new people (like myself) who are coming to the forum for the first time. That way they don't have to search all around or post new topics that have already been covered that they couldn't find. I always feel kind've silly when I ask a question and I get linked back to threads that covered it in depth. Just a thought from a new guy.

Or instead of setting up a new section, you could sticky these threads at the top of their appropriate sections. Fish = How to acclimate, You can do it = how to set up your tank.

Things are changing all the time in this hobby. Sometimes the best info is something that was just discovered. We refer people to previous posts as a way to answer without having to retype. Please don't feel bad when being referred to an old thread. Searches sometimes find a whole load of posts that may or may not be relevant.
