Since a lot of questions are asked over and over again, wouldn't it be a good idea to take these question up in the FAQ. I wouldn't mind making a start with the list (if the idea is liked).
Further more, it would be nice if there was a direct search (the help forum) option available from the help pages. Now one has to go to the forums, click 'search forums' and click the link 'google search'. Maybe people are not aware of this option and/or can't find it.
Opinions?

If that's the case then adding more things to it won't help.

And the benefit is that no one has to take the effort to give a meaningful answer, but one can simple reply with "read Help/FAQ".
