hi all!

*********READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING HERE*********

1. I have removed few *links only* posts from the Guides & FAQs section and have made a single list out of it here. The original posts are still in the forum but not with an "Announcement" tag anymore. I apologize to those original posters.

2. This thread will be *links only*, meaning you're not allowed to post any tutorials/how-to or any other stuff other than a message containing a brief description and a hyperlink.

4. One of the moderators will convert your post to a single line description with your nick tagged to it followed by the hyperlink that you provided and will add it to the post below under the appropriate category.

5. YOUR ORIGINAL POST WILL BE DELETED after an entry has been made in the master list.

cheers,
venk@
