In fact whole forum "tips & tricks" should be dedicated to tips and tricks. (What a surprise!) But the signal noise ratio is quite bad. I think it would be good to have a sticky thread with instructions what to post here and what not. And then somebody should move everything that is neither tip nor trick.

i have to disagre on that one. what this forum is also good at, is that we can help each other out aswell, get to know each other and so on.. i think a stinky would be satisfying..

Of course you're right in general. But you probably wouldn't post your hello world in the feature wishlist or tips & tricks forum but rather in the general forum, wouldn't you? What do you think why the forums have different names?
