OK the example module index is a mess A lot of the links i spent a week going through and linking to via the index are now dead So shall i A) Get rid of the index entirely B) Clean up the index and post any of the OSMs i have or can source that are now missing and just link to the original thread ?
Currently i'm favouring B but i would like you guys input on this
Cheers NAS

Make a new branch in the Wiki and upload whatever you have there, so we won't depend on the longevity of any external links.

Yeah i was gonna post em direct to the index so they are stored on the forum Tom I'm still a little fuzzy on the whole issue of stuff that was posted that has gone missing being reposted Am i actually breaking any copyright here or what ?
I do love the WIKI dont get me wrong its just it is always my secondary hit after searching the forum I dont really post a bunch of questions and it isn't cause i am a guru like you guys it's cause the forum search is my mentor hahahaha

Possibly, im guessing sometimes users will change there mind and remove the downloads from there server. The best thing would be to try and contact the people that originally made the example.
Although i don't like it when posts from 2005 etc get revived really, plus older examples don't usually work as well due to SM updates, so maybe it would be better to do the wiki idea like suggested.

Hmmm maybe i should just remove the index then I'm not too fussed about doing the WIKI thing that is more infuzions area than mine

I dont think there is much point moving the index to the WIKI A major portion of the links are now dead (When i originally did the index i checked every link to make sure it was still active) And a quick forum search should bring up the threads anyway if any relevent info is still held in them 😉

I assumed you would filter out the dead links, or re-up the dead files if you really were bored.

Me advice was not about the move itself but about uploading the available stuff to the Wiki so it won't get lost anymore. You'd probably have to ask the people beforehand, though.

To be honest the search is actually working really well again on the forum and i dont see any issues with just getting rid of the index now I did it in the first place because the search was on the fritz for months but it has been grand over the last 9 months or so
Time to move along i think If people want to post examples in the WIKI they will do so of there own accord i think The attaching OSMs to forum posts has been a god send i think 😉
