In the GasCap section we should take the link out of the 1st line that reads "The January 2004 GasCap is online". It serves no purpose and members get confused thinking that link will download the GasCap.

Also, I think we should move the actual link for the GasCap to the top of the page. We should not have to scroll down to find it in the middle of pages of text. It should be the first thing everyone sees and perhaps the ONLY thing they see on that page. Put all the instructions on one single easy to find page, not the same long post every month with the file hidden below. We shouldn't even allow posting in the GasCap section. All comments and questions belong in the HELP forum.

What's everyone else think?

that line is there for when you read the homepage, not when you are in the thread. it is very necessary. when we didn't have it people couldn't figure out how to get from the homepage to the gascap thread.

there is a big graphic that you click to download right in the first post

you can click it right from the homepage and download the gascap. I'd be happy to move it to the top of the post.

I've already started on adding a new section of the Help section with gascap instructions so I can link to it each month. I've made a couple posts about it. Once it's done, I'll be able to remove alot of the directions, but I'll still have to leave some of them. Some members need them.

right now, you can only reply to a gascap thread. you can't start a new one. It gives people a chance to talk about this month's gascap with clogging up the forum.

I put a break in the post so very little is on the homepage and reworded it. there is now only an img w/ a download link and a link to the thread.
