I have some users PM'ing me with lots of questions regarding the use of the photo galleries.
Has anyone written a set of FAQ's for the FAP mod that are to be added to the lang_faq.php file?
Thanks for any responses.

Here is what I have come up with so far. Please critique, add, or change as you see fit. If you see errors let me know. I'd like to mix mine too.
Remember, I am basically an idiot when it comes to the technical stuff, although I am learning.

This is great that you are taking this on yourself and I am sure will be very useful to most of your users..... :thumb:
I have found from past experiences that for some users when the letters A, F, & Q are placed together as FAQ, they apparently become invisible... as I'm always getting questions such as "How do I ...., Why can't I..., etc"
Maybe I should try QFA. :LOL:

Update on what?
You need just to copy the code in your lang_faq.php
Sorry for not having answered before shane, but you did a great job and I have added these FAQ to Icy Phoenix as well.
