TRN snippets don't appear to be working - is it a user CP setting?

I know I'm a noobie and not clued up like you guys,but thought I give a few ideas that ppl like me would find useful.

1.a tutorial section on how to do things.

2.a section on tips and tricks.

3.build logs with pics etc

Sorry if they all sound noobie,but there are a lot of us noob out there and getting help I find is not easy on the net on certain forums,those that have the knowledge are not always willing to share,I think this would attract new ppl and make the site more friendly.

Tutorials, this is something i've been thinking over the last couple of days, it also need not be limited to just hardware but can be expanded upon in other sections as well and most likely stickied, so we can have Car/Bike related, Photography etc etc.

Anyone can give it a go and write one up, so if there is something your experienced in then put something together with some pictures

, once we have a frontend sorted we could add them as content to that as well.

Dont know if its been noticed or something in IE8 on this work machine but when you get to the bottom of the page of posts and click page 2 it jumps to to the bottom of page 2... which is annoying.

That's a wierd one Dooms. It must just be your particular one as mine works, I'm guessing you need to go into the cache settings and switch it from Automatic to Update every visit to the page.

Goblin did a really wonderful tutorial/writeup on AV systems for the Entertainment section age ago but it was lost in the great database crash of dickety six, we definitely could do with another one now for the current tech. If he's reading and interested xD If not I can have a stab when the forums settle down.

Appears to be being caused by the Quick Reply box. You click page x and loads that page and then jumps to the top of the reply box ready to type. Will have a play with setting but might just be something with this machine.

Ok played with look & feel options but still doing it. It's starting to piss me off... its not just when you click page 1/2/3/4/5 its when you open any thread, just jumps straight down to quick reply.
