FAQ
« on: April 27, 2010, 02:57:27 pm »
Hey everybody.  The braintrust here at the GCGC have developed this ground-breaking new tool for our website which we've called a F.A.Q., which stands for Frequently Asked Questions.  (clever huh?)  You'll notice it on the left-hand side under the "Information" block.

Now it's your turn to help build this awesome new idea!  Submit your burning questions to this thread and we'll do our best to answer them as soon as we can consult with the all-knowing-powers-that-be.

However sarcastic this post may be, we need your submissions to be legitimate though.  Otherwise, the caching gods will strike all your hides with log-eating locusts and inflict you with cacheaphobia (better known in these parts as rvstaufficitis).  So keep on point, and limit your replies to questions only.  Thanks!

Once a question has been added, a moderator will post a reply to this thread (unless we forget, or if our favorite TV show is on)

Why doesn't the FAQ page work yet?

(And this is just to clarify but I'll phrase it as a question for the sake of the thread)

What do you want FAQs about?
    A. Geocaching in general
    B. GCGC
    C. All of the above
    D. None of the above
    E. Some of the above
    F. One of the above


And are these FAQs that would help or pertain to members (lifers), members (noobs), visitors, or all?

As far as the content, it's primarily a tool to aid in navigating GCGC-land.  (PAF list, Email notifications, How do I add my gc banner on my GCGC profile, how do I add a GCGC link to a cache description, etc. etc.)

However, feel free to ask anything you feel is pertinent.

Members & Moderators (like moi) cannot edit the FAQ, only Admins.  This will help keep the information concise.  Hope that answers your questions, C.

Would love to see a PAF list, I'd add mine but moving to Georgia in a couple of weeks so I'll have to start one down there now....LOL




:D   Just smile it won't crack your face   :D

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
 suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
 friends -- if they're okay, then it's you. :eek:

I'll send a few questions in a bit  but first, No ROC that did NOT answer the first question but did clarify what is wanted.  Why does the FAQ link on the left not work?  We get a "page can not be found" error when clicking.

I know the answers for the most part but here are a few.

How do I change my Avatar & Title?
How do I post a link with a cool name instead of all that gibberish?
How do I earn credits for the shop?

One I kind of needed an answer to today....  Im using a public computer and log in to the GCGC.  Now how do I log out so my profile is not used by someone else.  (I logged in for 1 hour on the iPad at Best Buy, actually used 2 mins then closed the browser)

Nope.  Same problem on two computers w/ IE7 Win XP home and Pro as well as Safari on the iTouch

Maybe only set to be available to Mods and Admin (similar things have happened before)
