how about a plain old link to the tutorials.I think a lot of people find the forum on google but dont realise that there is an actual website with the tutorial info on them, its not immediately obvious that when you click on the SOR title at the top left you go to a website. To most people coming here it would appear to just be a forum.
I have another suggestion, but not for a faq. ( sound out faq)
-What is UART?
Is there any way of incorporating a robot image gallery into either the web site or the forum?We get a lot of questions about robots, but never seem to see any results on them, its a rare occasion when there is a new robot to see. A show case robot gallery would be good to let people actually see whats possible - it would probably help with coming up with ideas and also let beginners realise that robots dont always have to be bipeds.
ME:Hi Admin,I've got a little suggestion:Maybe it would be a good idea to have an extra forum called "show your robot".It's pretty self-explanatory:Everone who wants to, can create a topic about his own robot with pictures, movies, description, how the construction went (with pics maybe), future changes, ....And everyone can reply with suggestions, comment, ...Offcourse no pressure, and it's entirely up to you.I just think it's a good idea, I know I'd like to post my robot there to get some suggestions etc. And it would be nice for us to see the result of the help that has been given.ADMIN: So whoever that wants to just show their robot can do it on the forum with an ordinary post, people do this all the time (including myself) . . . but for a detailed showing I offer free webspace here:http://www.societyofrobots.com/member_tutorials/Im very resistant to adding new forum categories to keep down the clutter. There is a post someone that explains it all . . .
Perhaps admin should make it a tad easier to get to the main site? maybe a simple "click here to go to tutorial site" or w/e

What if I write 'Main Site' on the right of where it says 'Robot Forum'?
What if I create a special section in the member tutorials just for robot showcasing? Basically a separate area where tutorials aren't required? I already have it set up for comments at the bottom of each member tutorial page.
Yeah, a subforum or a separate section in the member tutorials are both fine. As long as it is possible to post photos, videos and text. And it's possible for everyone to reply.
I dont think it would be necesarry for other people to reply or post comments on robot pictures, just a plain old picture gallery that you can upload a picture to and write the basic stats/components would be sufficient. By letting people comment, it would just clutter a picture gallery up
Lastly, I added up top of the robot forum two things, Robot Tutorials, and FAQ. If it's ugly or people have better ideas on what I can link, just let me know.
Adding a robot gallery to the members tutorials has gone on my list of projects to get done.
Make it so that the paragraphs topics are bold or underlined or something like that so you can see where each question ends and the new one starts. Maybe even just a simple horizontal separator between each question?
Very nice. One suggestion: it would be nice if this top main menu remains the same when switching between forum, tutorials, faq and main page. This way you will always have a consist navigation menu regardless of where you are in the site.

I see a picture gallery as a big page with alot of thumbnails (one thumbnail per robot). And every thumbnail is clickable, which takes you to a page for that robot only.
