Quoting Lypsyl here:

Maybe its time to create our own FAQ here at SubetaLodge. Address what we do and how we do it. That we aren&;t affiliated with Subeta, that we don&;t know anymore than any other user. That we simply use our mad investigative skills to figure out this stuff so others won&;t have to.</p>
<p>Not just because of this issue, but because we know stuff like this is likely to happen again. Its also a bit of self-promotion, making sure people know that we do this as volunteers, that you absorb the costs involved and we work hard to be as accurate as we can.

So sbnlstaff Let's get this going. I think it is a great idea. What should we put in a faq? More importantly, who wants to take lead on this project? :D (ahem anythoughts ? :D )

my English is not perfect so I'm not sure I can do this "^_^ So I'll help with the concept and what we should put in the faq :)

  1. About Us - SubetaLodge is a fan site of Subeta and we are volunteers.

  2. Do you have any connection to Subeta or Subeta staff? NO!

  3. X item is not restockable in X shop anymore because it's retired but it's still listed as restockable there why?

  4. When I search for Iku note I get some items that you can't get from the Iku anymore, why the note is still there, can you change that?

  5. Can you delete a note?

  6. How do you update the items?

  7. If there is a mistake with an item, to whom can I report about it?

That's it for the moment, I'll add more when something will pop up in my head :)

Q. Do the Subeta staff members have their heads up their own asses, or each other's?
A. They take turns.

[edit]

On a more serious note, a "FAQ" should have some answers about how people use the site ("How do I create a custom checklist?" "If I make a custom checklist for, say, monthly collections, will the list automatically update with new items in the future?" "How do I add/delete a pet?")

How to delete a collection? Is the mass add broken? I cant update my ??? list I hear SubetaLodge has problems with Firefox, what exactly doesn't work and what should I use instead? Creating custom lists I found a mistake...what do I do? My widgets keep changing (order changes, sometimes widget boxes disappear) and I keep having to redo it. What's up with that (this is a problem I'm actually having!).

And yes, I can make the faq but I don't know if I will have time until after the event is done. I mean, I can try to make a quickie one that specifically addresses the event issues, but I really won't have time to do a good job of the whole thing.

In the meantime, I've updated the Staff list. whistles

You are very naughty!

thanks for volunteering! I certainly don't expect anything to be done immediately, particularly during an event.

I think for the FAQ we need to keep it more general. If we want to do a "how to" type of thing later we can certainly do so, though. Or we can start with general stuff and see how many how to things we think we want and add them to the FAQ if it is not a ton.

there is a response post on our forum fruity topic

okay, I'll think about it for now and work out what questions we want to answer. I'm looking forward to getting into it and I'm thinking to take a lighthearted approach, serious questions and answers, but kept simple and fun.

LOL thesauri are ever so helpful aren't they? And, yes, I am flawless, thank you very much!

Yes, you are FLAWLESS whilst I am merely ACCURATE

harrumph!

Lighthearted is good. Have you ever read our About SubetaLodge page? It is really a horrible story but they way it was written keeps it so much fun no one even suspects it was true, lol!

: I've been working on this page of Genetech combos (it's not finished -- I'm only up to the R's, but that's how I got CMS access). The page uses CSS that opens and closes divs to give the overall page an uncluttered appearance. If you think it'd be useful for a Q&A style page (click on the questions to open up the answers), I'll be glad to share the code.

Ah nice! I was planning on trying to work out a spoiler like system with CSS, or the onclick command.

I've thought of a couple of things so far, and still not sure how I'm going to do it. But one of my options is:

  1. What ever question? Short, fast and simple answer

    Then click here for a more in depth answer Lots more text

  2. then the next question? And so on and so forth
