Sorry, but as much as this would be cool, but we have discussed this before and Ruatha and I agree that it isn't going to happen soon if ever. We agree that it is more convenient to have a sticky thread here on these forums than an external document with html links. Also, there is an older Version of the FAQ that someone converted to html (on Fyron's site I think).

Re: Newb problem

Keep in mind that you can use HTML in UBB Posts, so you could still have the in-text hyperlinks and have it a post in the thread.

Re: Newb problem

The other thing about questions is that any of the existing paragraphs can be turned into a question/answer format.

If there currently is a paragraph about what a spaceport (for example) does, I could add a question above it saying "What do I need to know about Spaceports?"

I just don't see the value added in doing that.

Re: Newb problem

Well then the argument would go that maybe it should be called a "guide." "FAQ" directly implies that it is written in question/answer format. I don't personally care what you call it, just pointing that out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Newb problem

don't make a newbie guide. why? because when newbie's come here, we help them happily. but if we had a guide, we'd just point them there and they'd miss a great intruduction to the forums and we might never get to meet them.

Re: Newb problem

The newbie "guide" is already made, and newbies get pointed their frequently. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Newb problem

well, despite my somewhat silly sentences there, i think that a short Version of the newbie faq would be a good idea.
