Default A forum on tutorials

I have been looking through AFF and people have created tutorials to help each other out. I personally think thats great because I have got my power windows working again thanks to Racecraft aka Tibbo.

What I am proposing is that in the Workshop part of AFF have a sub forum on Tutorials. Look at image 1 for what I mean. From there you go to what the Performance subforum is like where you can choose Tickford or FPV, or Interior Tech where you can choose Audio or Interior. Look at image 2 for what I mean.

IMAGE 2: http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ief2gif4of.gif

NOTE: You may need to click on the image to view it full it full size.

I think that there should be a forum on Tutorials so common and to a lesser extent uncommon issues (Ford's don't have problems only issues, and yes I am bias : ). I think it would be good to have this knowledge in one simple area.

I think its a great idea to tell you the truth.

The only issue I have, and without talking to the other admins, is the man power to manage something like that

Project and Tutorial forum could also go under one sub heading

Sounds great to me, would help prevent the same questions being asked time and time again, such as 'How do I fix the broken door handle on my XD/XE/XF Falcon?' or 'I've got a stock Falcon, what is the first mod I should do to get more power and better fuel economy?'

If I were to moderate it. I would still have people post in the correct forums ie AUFalcon.com, e series forum, general workshop ect. Then if it does work and the results are positive then a moderator moves it to the Tutorial forum. Where no new posts can be added. Just like the project cars forum.

Just an idea,
Chief
