Default FAQ section is getting enormous

I would like to clean up the FAQ section some so that it is easier to navigate to find the how-to articles, etc. faster. A dewey decimal system, or at least an index would be helpful, but I didn't major in library science. Anybody have any ideas for me to clean it up to make it more user friendly? I've thought about having it sectioned off into categories such as engine specific, body specific, interior, wheels and tires, etc. Would this work?

Yes, I think that's a good idea. If you're looking for additional categories, you could always canabolize one of the national parts catalogs. I always thought Mustangs Unlimited or NPD were easy to navigate. You may have others laying around to reference. Or maybe someone else will have a better idea!

I have a better idea, how about a simple little note at the top of the FAQ that says "please click on the find on page feature of your browser and type in a keyword".

Honestly sometimes I think people are just lazy....I mean...I know I am.

+1 on the sub forums like wheels brakes suspension rust repair, parts vendors etc

and also can the mustang 2 forums be put below the classic forum? or just let the 2 guys post in our no reason not to kinda hard to argue that they arent classic since they are 33yrs old now[8D]

I hate change, leave it the way it is. Besides I like scrolling through the thing and seeing FAQs for stuff I was thinking of but forgot about. Then I read those and forget about what I was looking the the FAQ for in the first place, and lo and behold I start the process all over again!

yup sub categories or just switch it to engine faq, bady faq, wheels and tires faq, in the top part that would make it that much quicker instead of waiting for another page to load
