Suggestion DIY Subsection?

MrApollinax · 02-12-2009, 08:28 AM

Would it be beneficial to keep all the DIY "projects" that have been posted into a subsection of the Accessories forum? It seems like it would be easier to find them if they were all in one place.

Do you think a sub-section for that in the article system would work equally well?

MrApollinax · 02-12-2009, 09:13 AM

Actually yes it will. Since the article section is new I hadn't thought of that. It actually makes more sense to me to have there.

If you have any specific threads you'd like to have copied into an article category, or would like to submit an article, go ahead and let me know!

I'll create the category once there are a few submissions.

Here is what I can find. Term "DIY" doesn't play well with the search function:

there are also threads about converting minolta, nikon and cannon lenses to PK mount, threads on making remote flash triggers, lightning triggers, mounts for the 300mmF4 etc.

I think there was a proposal once before for a DIY thread, https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/site-suggestions-errors-help/31387-what-about-diy-forum.html
come to think of it, the OP of that thread seems familiar

Adam · 02-13-2009, 12:35 PM

All the threads you linked above have now been moved into the article submission forum. I'll review them, convert them to articles, and then add the DIY subsection. Thanks a lot!
