Technical thoughts

[rhysnolan]

For a change I have been thinking!
With the September bulletin I commented on how useful for we newbies to have the Tech articles, maybe not factory methods but useful DIY versions.
My thinking then, was cold a place on the forum be created, "sticky"? for these where they can be stored?

Yes, I don't see why not.
Bear in mind that we have some (and I think I probably need to try and upload some more) such articles as PDF files on our main website under the "Past articles" header. www.dafownersclub.co.uk/magazine-links-albums.html

I understand, but how do such as me, who don't know those articles might help us know they are there, or how to find them? This is such a useful asset that it can't be forgotten!

Having just looked (for the first time) I'm guessing that those with computer savvy would suggest copy and paste to "Technical tips" ?

I have a "Daf" folder on the desktop. Open the PDF file you are interested in, in the top right there is a "download" icon. Click on that, when a window opens, click on the Desktop folder on the left, (or "create folder" on the right, below save, and name it). Find the Daf folder in the list that has opened. Click on it, the Daf folder opens, and will list all (Daf related) files and folders you have already put in there. (Or it will show empty if this is the first to be put in there) Click on "save" in the top right, and it will be saved to this folder, so in future its available from the desktop folder. Simples!!
