[SOLVED] Tutorials

[Northern Flame]

Hello phpfreaks staff,

I have a question about the tutorials,

why can't we post tutorials on the

tutorials section? sometimes when I'm

bored I like to test my PHP skills by

making tutorials for others, and the

tutorials section doesn't have many

tutorials right now. Are only the staff

allowed to post tutorials? or do we

have to send them to someone?

Those forums will be deleted when the new site launches (no ETA).

 

By the way, the posts wrap automatically, so there is no need to make line breaks yourself...

really?

i think its easier reading short little lines than reading a big long thing.

I find it makes the text look very disjointed. Since the new line doesn't come at the edge of the screen, it makes it look like it was done for a particular reason, e.g. a new paragraph.

Seeing all those short lines makes me think I should read it like a poem.....or take many deep breaths like Stevie from Malcolm in the Middle.

Those big long things are called sentences.

Although I did feel like I should be reading a poem, I enjoyed the shorter lines. 

 

As far as the tutorial section goes:  Those tutorials are all that's left of what we used to have on the main site, before it got hacked.  We salvaged what we could and converted them to threads/posts (that's why they look all whack).  They are there as "read only" for those who were benefiting from them at the time.  Unfortunately, the bulk of the tutorials were lost forever (including all of mine! sniff :*( ), that's why there aren't that many there.  We are working valiantly hard on a new main site, with a new tutorial section.  As Daniel said, once it's all up and running, we will be removing that forum altogether. 

 

We are working on a different member group hierarchy for the forums (some of it already implemented) which will allow people to work their way into being tutorial authors, so if that's your thing, be helpful around the forums, get yourself noticed, prove your worth, bribe the right people and perhaps you might find yourself in one of those groups.
