Default What's Up With 'Tech Tips'?

The title says it all.

Any mods have any idea whats going on with the 'Tech Tips' section?

I have read so many great DIY tips on everything from intake manifold gasket replacements to headliner replacements and I don't see any of them making it to 'Tech Tips'?

Just wondering why we have that section if it isn't updated to include pertinent material. Did I miss the memo?

Curiously,

Jonathan

I just wish there were some new lines in those tips. It gets to hard to read when there are a few hundred/thousand words one after another with no paragraphs.

They are supposed to be added if requested I haven't seen requests in the threads. Since we no longer have a C4 owner as moderator I think that may be an issue. Unless you own one and work on it you can't tell what is REALLY a good addition. I think the current owners are doing more policing than adding to the knowledge data base.

Some suggestions about alternatives were posted here

Not criticism just an observation. Policing needs to be done sometimes.

I don't think many actually even use that section much anymore because every post their questions here without ever looking there first.
