    Kilsek, i think you should edit your first post to list who is doing or done which tutorial, the same way you added my list. That would help us, on not redoing something which is already done.

    Let's go ahead and make a new thread with the list of the members that are working on what they called.

    Here's mine so far :

    Great Way On Achieving Members
    Have Any HTML Widget On Navigation Bar


    I don't know if that thread would be locked, but if some on could make the list, that would be cool.

    Everybody should make a new post with the Tips you are working on, and the ones that you have finished and sent to a staff member again so we will know who has done what.

    Hi,

    As said to in the staff room; My exams finish Saturday, so I'll have all week end to do the proper reading and I'll take care of all that has been sent up to now Very Happy

    Darren1:
    I can already say though that your last tutorial, the NavBar, is most probably going to be refused. The reasons are;
    > Too obvious (this button does this...)
    > Not the standard bar you gave, so if members don't understand the links, they won't understand the different buttons
    On the other hand, I can almost guarantee the block buster you wrote on the run through will be accepted Rolling Eyes

    Enumerate:

    2 : to specify one after another : list

    My bad, when I send P.Ms, I sometimes need a more formal writing than usual, and it tends to stick in my posts afterwards tongue
