JSander's and I are updating like crazy! I am adding images to assist with these FAQ's

Please check the site out and if an FAQ is not listed yet, then please post here with the device model and the requested faq.

Ie...

8100 -- Media Card Setup FAQ

Most of the general faq's are done or close to getting done. I have reformatted the look of the device areas to make them easier to sort through.

Please check out the FAQ's for your device and let me know what is missing or needed. Please post here so I can keep track of them as I get a ton of PM's and don't want the idea lost...

Here is a sample of a FAQ with images:

How do I free up memory on my device? - BlackBerryFAQ (http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_free_up_memory_on_my_device%3F)

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Sir! Yes it is getting there but still has a ways to go...

I like doing this kind of stuff and love BB's so this is a fun opportunity for me to learn more and help others in the process :)

[Tom]

I really appreciate your efforts guys. Let me know if I can do anything to help. I have added custom user titles for both Lunkhead and Jsanders as "Major BBFAQ Contributer"'s

Wow! Thanks Guess!

You already do plenty for the BlackBerry community!

I think JSanders and I are just happy to give a little something back to this site!

Again, thanks and we will do our best to make this site proud of the FAQ area :)

Changed the layout of the main page.... Now all General Device questions are grouped by area on main page and device pages are reserved for device only specific information...

Ie....

Main Page:

--Device FAQ's
--General Device FAQ's
--Email FAQ's (BIS / BES)
--Audio and Video FAQ's
--Media Card and General Media FAQ's
--Applications and Operating System FAQ's
--Bluetooth FAQ's
--Mac and BlackBerry FAQ's
--Linux and BlackBerry FAQ's
--Additional BlackBerry FAQ's
--BlackBerry Information
--BlackBerry Do-it-Yourself's

Take a look and let me know what you think.... I think the new grouping will make it quicker and easier to find answers to questions...

It's up and ready to rock!!!!! There are still a few minor areas that need to be added and a little tweaking of the formatting on a few of the FAQ's but it's now jam packed with info. Many of the FAQ's offer images as well to assist....

From the main page you can access everything! Device specific areas, media areas, email areas ect... You will also notice in the left hand menu boxes there are links to Community Portal and Current Events. Please check these areas out as well.

The Portal lists what's needed (if you want to jump in and get your fingers dirty) and how to help. The Events area lists what's going on on the FAQ and here at the BBF....

Ok enough rambling..... Check it out!!!! :)
