You said..."Couldnt "another forum" of just these Stickies be made, and then accessed through one sticky at the top of the health section?"...exactly what I was thinking.

So we are all..."On the same page"?

Sometimes I think I do!
Jann is beating me and I think I've been a member longer.

Ferrets list is extensive.
However its not a list for what we need in this application.
For that matter, Ataraxia, is there a stated goal here?
Ferret has obviously already started work in this direction, and would have a great "view" on making this work.
I dont think the goals are the same though.
I think my list is too long.
Alot of common issues, will be talked about under different catagories, and could maybe be consolidated.
For instance, MBD is a big issue, and needs to be kept in the open, where people can become aware of it. While explaining supplements and nutrition however, its going to(should)come up. So if proper nutrition is already being laid out, and we go over MBD, does it still merit its own sub-cat?
Is this work about "Common Questions"
, "Common Problems"
or "Important/Beginner Problems/Info" or what exactly?
These are the questions that we should answer first.

It's not my list, it's Brad's from 2006. It was just something to get people started, not set in stone.

I think you guys are getting a great thing started!! Making the forums a better resource is my goal, and this kind of thing would be a great addition! The planning and organization of it is the hardest part, next to actually getting the information all typed up. I do like a single link to a dedicated section so they're not scattered everywhere. I guess I should have made my suggestion a little more clear...what I was trying to say is that there may be a dedicated place for this exact thing soon. It's in my project plan. So right now I think the focus should be on actually writing this up and gathering pictures instead of worrying about how to change a bunch of stuff to fit it. Make the content first, and they can be made as blogs so other people can't edit them if you want, get them fact checked (I should be able to help with the health parts ) and then we can find the best place for them!

Did we lose momentum captain?

Lets see who is willing to contribute. If we dont have anyone to contribute. all we have is an idea that will never take off.

If you have anything please post it to the threads already mentioned. We can then go through a change what needs to change after we get a good list going..

Also dont worry about doubles of the same types of post. Different pictures and wording may help someone. the more a person has to reference to the better this will be.

I don't think momentum has been lost, but it's not going to be a case where people can just slam post after post up with worthwhile information.

One thing I was thinking might be useful is to locate particularly illustrative threads about common topics, threads with lots of pictures and information. Perhaps the thread starters would be willing to let their pictures and information be used in crafting an example to be posted in the new subforums (or where ever it was agreed they'd be posted). For instance, I think Riven's thread on her chameleon with MBD could be recrafted into a good "severe MBD, diagnosis and treatment" piece.
