@TheDewd: Cheers, that's really nice, and probably better than what I had planned, as it doesn't use any custom functions.
@derz00: Some of my preferred ones at present are: best utilities, RegEx, forum tips, command list, documentation extension, Explorer. One problem with writing tutorials within the forum is that you can't jump to a point within an AHK post AFAIK, hence things like a leading character for chapter headings are useful. I have considered doing some html tutorials elsewhere. In general, as more of my projects get completed I can, in theory, return to previous projects and make considerations.
@TheDewd/@derz00:
Any good tutorial should work in txt form:
crc_v3.txt
http://www.ross.net/crc/download/crc_v3.txt
pcre.txt
http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt
@tank: I'm not 100% clear on what you're referring to, so I'll just say that: I'm not criticising the forum, and I don't mind criticism or low view counts. Actually what I do mind re. view counts, is for the forum over all, I see great posts by other people with say 100 views!? I'm surprised that the AHK community isn't 10 times bigger for example.
@joedf/@tank: I'm quite happy with TheDewd's solution, I don't want or need any changes to the forum.
If I had any concerns it would be:
- Was autohotkey.net backed up anywhere?
- Since the old forum is hard to search, it would actually be more sensible to download the whole old forum as a zip, if this is doable, possibly an html only version without any images.
- I really like this AutoHotkey Archives idea, and I think any attempts to store (i.e. not rely on archive.org) and to browse through archive.org material in order to republish certain classic old material is a great idea (and useful where autohotkey.net content is no longer available). Also, if we were to lose access to autohotkey.com, at least we would have all the content backed up, in case as with autohotkey.net, the archive.org links become blocked.
