Alphabetical index
« on: 08 December 2007, 13:16:42 »

Would it be a mammoth task to create alphabetical indices for the maintenance/ FAQ/Technical sections?
I realise it would be necessary to standardise the headings somewhat, but it would save a hell of a lot time when searching for info. which you know you've seen somewhere, but can't pinpoint quickly.
Or is it just too much work?
Cheers,
Bill.

Not so much doing it as a one off, but ongoing work to keep it updated would be too much I fear...

Thanks TB. I'm not an IT man, but I thought perhaps the small number of titles and especially the modest increase in headings might make it manageable. I'm not referring to the daily additions under General Help, of course, which would be a PITA, or the ICE etc. sections.
I always marvel at the speed with which you and MarksDTMcalib, (and others),post up links in response to queries. Do you just have good memories? Or is down to some magic system you use?   ;)

Apologies for late response, been offline for a while.

Other problem with A-Z index is the different name for same thing.  So you may well be looking for a guide thinking its called one thing, but we may call it something else.  I'll have a little think, see if a solution pops up.  Trouble is, moving a post to Maintenence Guides already is a time consuming task for Admins, and I'm reluctant to ask them to do even more...
