[Done] How about a "Problem/Solution" archive...
I've found that the some of the most helpful technical content on the web come from blogs that other developers have written which detail their specific problems and what they did to fix it. Then the solutions are often applied to a broader scope of problems.

For example: Aaron Stebner's solution to a Visual Studio 2005 problem which I applied to a Visual Studio 2008 issue today. I went through steps 1-3 but found the solution for my problem in step 4.

You don't see this in forums too much. Try Googling around and you'll find, I think, that blogs dominate. Forums tend to have incomplete answers or lack of substantial details to really help much.

I think we should add a "Problem/Solution" board where any member can post (in a thread) their problems and what they did to fix them -- then leave it open for further discussion.

What do you think?

I think it's a good idea. I often find a lot of solutions to my problems in forums, but I think it would be nice to have a place for stuff like that. It would be a lot easier to find the solutions in one post rather than look through entire threads to see if the answer might be there.

I noticed this is yet to be implemented so i will add my 2 cents worth.

I like the idea and provide a quick way for others to find out how to fix a problem they may be facing.
Not to sure about activity of the board though, at least at this point of time. I would provide my problems and solutions though.

I'll see about adding this before I leave; I think it'd be beneficial for people to read solutions instead of problems for once.
