That should solve most problems. Possibly make that thread sticky so that it is at first glance for most people looking for answers.
No, it will not solve the problems talked about in this thread.
Having guides or tuts isn't the point. The point is that many threads are created (and still will be created, eventhough there are excellent guides/tuts) which are about the same subject. The only reason for those double threads is that people can't immediatly "
see" a similar thread and thus create a new one. And this is not going to be less in the future, in fact it will only increase.
If the [release] threads are moved to their own subforum, the normal [question] threads would be easier to spot.
PS: And talking about double threads. Why must there explicitly be yet another thread to anounce the completeness of Willz' skinning guide? Updating the first post in the existing thread would be just as good. If not better, since all the information would be centralised in 1 thread instead of dispersed over many. Because, and I want to bet my laptop over this, there will be updates and people will post improvements and/or suggestions, making this new thread no different than the already existing thread. If you simply add a new post to that thread, the thread would be put in front too.
It is another manner if there is just one sticky post which links to all the available tutorials (Willz', but also inlcuding others). But yet another thread about the exact same thing? Please no... The point that there is a Requests forum is to create some order in the otherwise mismatch of threads, so people can easier find what they are looking for. Creating double threads is going right against this very philosophy.
