Can't this topic be marked as "Announcement" or something?

It's more the question if the General Chat forum would be exactly the right place for the "finalized" FAQ - as divisonten has pointed out - and I don't want to move the thread around if it isn't entirely clear where this would make the best sticky thread ever.

I think the problem isn't so much that there's one place where it belongs more than all the rest, I think it's that it would do a world of good in all the general boards. But then does it make sense to create the same thread several times over so you can have it stickied everywhere? Probably not.

I added a table of contents and tried to make each a link to the respective part on the post but, naturally, I can't use standard HTML. Anything I CAN do to make it easier to navigate?

Well, you could use the same trick that FAQ writers do to make finding sections easier in .txt files. Just make sure each section has an easily searchable code (i.e. Q001). However, since this isn't a 50-page walkthrough, I think it should be easy enough for people to find what they need, if they know for sure it's there to look for.

Might be worth putting a copy of this at the top of each of the forums since some people only visit one area. Thoughts?

jp-30 · 12/14/2010, 10:01 am

You can copy the first post to other forums, if you wish to. Though obviously of you update one, then you have to update the copies too.

*Vainamoinen* · 12/14/2010, 11:05 am

We might make this a "travelling" FAQ. Whenever a new game series is announced, we can sticky it at the top of the new game forum. That way, most new posters might be reached.

This is a great idea, but what about when information needs to be updated? Would it be possible to edit one version and all of the others change with it?? I'm more than happy to keep an eye on the thread and make changes as necessary, but I'm only human- if it needs to be updated separately on EVERY section of the board, there's a chance that I'll miss some of them.

Also, thanks, Alan, for not putting the ban hammer on me. I wanted to help people out, but as I'm not staff, I wasn't sure if writing this was out of line.

Lol! You are a regular poster, you know the lay of the land! Duh!

And, lol, he's not going to ban people for being helpful!

divisionten, you can update the master version of the thread, and a mod can cut and paste it into the first post of any copies of the thread that may exist (if we go that route). Only a few minutes extra work for the mods every time the master is updated.

I'm fine with that, so long as the mods don't mind. As of now, I think it's done. I'll do another sweep for spelling errors and the like. It shouldn't need to be edited again until BttF comes out and/or SBCG4AP is released for Mac. Or there's a sudden influx of a question/comment that wasn't addressed here.

GaryCXJk · 12/14/2010, 12:33 pm

Like I said, doesn't this forum engine have an "Announcement" feature or something?

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...nounce_manager

I'm not sure how vBulletin works though, so I might look more into it when I try it myself when I have enough to fork over the amount required to even buy a license.

*Vainamoinen* · 12/15/2010, 08:39 am

This thread drops a little too fast. Until another solution is found, I'll sticky it right here.

Chyron8472 · 12/21/2010, 06:11 am

Can't you make the actual FAQ to be stickied in the General Forums, while having stickied links to it (like when a thread is 'Moved') in every other forum? That way, the "master thread" as you call it, would be the only thread, and stickies in other forums would just link to it.

Gman5852 · 12/21/2010, 06:46 am

Since poker night I feel this part should be released

Q. Hey my game wont work, why wont telltale fix it already, I was ripped off
A. Telltale works hard on trying to fix as many as bugs as they can, some can be fixed on the support page with a little help, but if the problem persists, it could be because your PC/Mac isn't as powerful enough as it should be to get the game to work. Please dont go posting as many bad things about telltale as you can, that does not help at all and will most likely get you banned.

There's a forum you can go. Way below all the forums there's the support one. Go and ask there
