putting Gradys webpage attached/edited within the first page someplace (even added to the current tweecer manual faq), since he already has screenshots and some splain'in about them.
i just bought a book about mustang tuning and all that jazz. been contemplating a tweecer now for a while. downloaded the software and played around with it a bit and realized there was a TON of options in there that can be changed, but not knowing a whole lot about tuning most changes will most likely be useless.
screenshots in a FAQ/basics thread would be most beneficial IMO
Hey guys!
In the 5.0 Tech section Daggar started a 'Tech Thread Index'
which has worked out fairly well.
This one sticky has links to all the best tech threads the forum has to offer.
In my opinion, it worked well...
Maybe others will disagree?

Here is a link to the thread I am talking about...

I agree, stuff is at times hard to find, I have An Idea, Start a sticky with links to threads with good Info, Inside the sticky have it layed out nice with specific topics in bold and links to threads with good information about those topics under the right title.
Imo, this would be the best way to do it, If we could just get a volunteer to go thru all the old threads and pick out the good ones and sort everything out. Alot of good information is in old threads just needs to be found. Granted this will be a painfully long process and take up alot of time but it would really make this tuning forum one of the best places to find information period.
I would, but being I am still kinda noobish at this tuning stuff and dont have alot of extra time at all, wouldnt be very practicle for me to attempt it.
For me the well organized thing mainly would be to 100% put inplace a search first rule/mentality for those same basic questions that pop up. Of course with the kindness and calm tone we have here already...no BASHING, I think of it more like a motivator like "ohh yeah I need to do some research and learn" as this is part of self tuning.
I agree on the basics for gen. targets per type of setup, if we started a gen. "basic NA, basic N2O, basic Boost" type thread and give diff. viewpoints of what numbers to go for...then let people in that thread to add input on what they have found to work along with adding what tuning system they are working with....after a few replies it would make a good basic faq. It might kill two birds with one stone. I bet we could even copy and past a good bit of info together from old posts that we search to make the faq even better.
I think one thing we can all barrow from the tweecer forums is the either put what your tuning with in your sig or post it in the thread.
How about a thread to recommend old threads for good tech. Then MOVE the images in those threads to stangnet, so we never have to worry about the hotlinked images disappearing.
You wanna steal the images
and
Host them some place else
I've always used my personal site to host the pics I put up for you guys
but I think I've seen SN will host pics.
Should we do it that way
Also .............
I would not think other members would mind when we use
their original question as the start of a thread that will surely
become immortal
Good Ideas Grady
This isn't something out of the question. Storage is relatively cheap, and if this means a more reliable solution that might attract more users to this already powerful community, then it's most likely a positive benefit compared to what it costs to host the images.Timeless wanted to know what could help. The moderator or trusted person for the organizing really needs a place to move and relink the images to for this to work long term.
That way your not searching threw pages and pages of examples, and posts to find one reply then go threw several pages to find another example or more detail. That is the only thing I hate about searching the tons of dead space that can pop up in a damn good post.
Heres My Idea to life...kinda
