How about a simple "how to" sticky thread?

I'm not talking about the newbie tips, I've skimmed through those and got no answer.Besides with 200+ pages the answer could be there but people would probably never find it.

What Im suggesting is a thread where people can go and find info on file downloads. Sorta like a Civ 4 file downloads for dummies thread.

Like I've downloaded FfH and I'd like it to start by default, how would I do that? (I've seen this question many times in the forums and haven't really seen it answered yet.)

I've downloaded map files, where do I put them?

I've downloaded New Civilization files, where do I put them?

I think you get the idea. I have found some mod developer's who have provided this type of information, but this is not the norm. Besides these people have spent a tremendous amount of time developing fantastic mods, I'm sure it would save them alot of pm's from people with the "I downloaded your mod, but it doesn't work. Where should I have put it?" type questions.

Anyways the thread, in my mind would look something like this:

Downloaded a great mod? Get it to start by default by doing this......

Downloaded maps should go here.....

Downloaded Civilizations should go here.......

I think you get the picture. Please forgive me if this already exists, I've been looking through the forums for 4 days and haven't found the answers. I feel it would be so much easier to just have a "how to" thread about downloaded files, etc,.

If you know where there are posts that answer these questions, please post a link.
