There should be another post under the Important Topics section, called

"Forum Q/As- Go here before posting a help thread".

It should be a list of question/answers, such as:

"Q: How do I open the console?

A: Press the tilde key".

"Q: Why can't I publish in the beta?

A: You're not allowed".

It would clear up half the help threads.

A wild FAQ appeared!

(Actually, it has been there since the dawn of time)

That doesn't really answer many questions that people have.

But still, people should know this stuff already.

And all that Simon has to do is update the FAQ.

(Which he hasn't since last year)

it's not called a tilde key, that's what "~" are called. It has no name.

My old thread (ID: 1487) did the same thing, but it died out in May 2011. "The Minitopic (Q&A) topic"

So there are keys on the keyboard that have no official name? Wow, I never knew that. So basically, I can name the "~" key and summit it and basically be a little famous for giving it a name?

It's old... May 2011... There've been many changes to TPT.

Then we should get him to update the FAQ.
