How about a section for novices asking all the obvious questions? The usual suspects, door contacts and sleeper circuits, tach extra ign starter wires , not using search tab and that perennial favourite remote starts on late Mercedes etc with smart keyfobs

I'm not sure I completely follow you Howie.  Can you be more specific about your idea for this new section? Are you suggesting a new forum for novices or something like a section on how to use this site or the forums, or something else?

Remember when I asked about a dialog box that would pop up and ask if they remembered to post their equipment makes and models and their vehicle make and model?    I think Howie needs one to pop up and ask, Did you at least try the search function to see if your question has been asked and answered 100 times already.

Pop ups are not an option. A dialog box already exists above the new topic form and can easily be edited to include more text, but sadly we have many members that continue to ignore what's already there. An FAQ image/button can be added with a link to a page or topic with frequently asked questions that includes instructions on how to use the forum search and information that should always be included in their topics. If you guys want to add to this topic with FAQ's that should be included, please do so. After we have enough to fill a page, I'll begin creating an application to display them.

I was talking about the box that already pops up and says "Your message has been submitted, please do not resubmit.  I was talking about adding something there when they create the topic.  Maybe if they read it there they will notice it and say hey I didn't.  Then maybe they would post a second message with the info.   It would be too late to help Howie because it will have been posted already.

BTW, here is the new message so you don't have to create a new topic to see it.

"Your topic has been submitted, Please do not resubmit! If you have not entered the year, make, and model of your vehicle or your equipment, please post a reply to your topic with that info after this page reloads."

THANKS   I was wondering why you were so reluctant to do it.    I guess I just didn't explain it right the first time.
