Playerview for dummies thread

[Greg J]

I think having a thread strictly for PV that is geared toward the semi-literate computer user would be really helpful. I say this partly because I am one of those semi-literate computer users, and it would greatly benefit me. Also, it would probably stop a lot of the same questions being asked over and over.

So, the idea is to have a thread (this one) serve to outline the process of setting up and making use of the playerview program. The subject line should probably be changed for each entry -- e.g. "How to download and install the .NET Framework version 1.1" (which I will offer up as the first contribution to this thread, as I did it last night) instead of "Re: Playerview for dummies thread." This is not to say that responses to this thread are not okay or anything (I would never want to imply that -- in fact, and feedback on this idea is greatly appreciated), just that the titlular line of the subposts on this thread should be germane to the topic they discuss.

Perhaps if anyone had a question they could also post it in the thread. This would allow subsequent (and appropriately titled) posts to answer questions, thereby contributing to the thread.

Hopefully this would contribute to this forum by offering a central location for the most common issues anyone has with PV. It might cut down on redundant posts by making multiple posts asking the same questions unnecessary -- all questions would be asked once and subsequent people having the same questions could simply refer to this thread.

This may or may not be a good idea. If it is then perhaps this can be the "PV for dummies thread." If not, then this thread will die in the market of ideas that is this message board.
