Default New features at aufalcon.com - tutorials

Hi members,

We've added a new feature at the aufalcon.com website: the ability for members to contribute their own written tutorials.

There is a new area in the members' login called "My Tutorials". This can be used to create or edit a tutorial that will be displayed in the new "Tutorials" area of the website.

This part is accessed by clicking the new "Tutorials" link on the main menu bar. This leads you to:

http://www.aufalcon.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?act=tutorials

To start things off, I created a little tutorial:

http://www.aufalcon.com/cgi-bin/inde...=tutorials&i=0

I'd love to see you all having a go!

I will be keeping an eye on the contributions, would like to see well-written tutorials with photos (they are uploaded for each step in the tutorial editor).

Regards,

Andrew.

Guys for those that have been asking, this is the place to put the tutorials that GK and others have contributed. From here they will be accessible to everybody.

Thanks Dauphin for setting this one up.

Well done Dauphin, this will be a good feature for sure.

One thing though, you actually don't need to use a screwdriver to get the indicator lense out, just use your hands.

Yes, I mentioned to use the screwdriver only if it's stuck in there for whatever reason.

According to the database it only has one entry - my first one. Yours was never saved.

Can you please try again? Thanks.

Edit: I just added a test second one and everything went fine. If you have slow internet and are uploading images, this could be one cause of the delay. What are the size of the images you're trying to include?
