If I remember correctly:

When the FAQ was established it was the editors depot's staffs responsibility to transfer solved topics to the FAQ.
After a while the responsibility was gently suggested to be on everyone in the staff.
And finally it was decided that anyone, even members, should be able to add to the FAQ, but when adding the entry goes as pending and an editors depot staffer needs to check it and unpend it.

Now, if I look at the pending FAQ entry list, it seems that members are indeed able to add an entry (there's some silly looking pending FAQ's in there). I'm thinking that snYpir has made a post about it in here somewhere.. can't remember exactly, so be critical to this post  ;)
Not all is lost.

Here's the post from snYpir. It doesn't say anything about the green little arrow, seen by staff, though.. maybe you shouldn't see it afterall  ;D

All members can now add information to the Ed Depot FAQ by clicking on the Add to FAQ link above.

It is fairly straight forward, just fill in the boxes and click Add to FAQ.

Your submission will be marked as pending, and cleared by a member of the ed depot staff.

Once it is cleared, it will be accessable to all through the Search FAQ interface.

questions?

Please help the FAQ grow!

dats somin else completly :P

also is it just me or deres nothin bout lightin a fire in da FAQ ? or even bout makin soldiers sit down ? arnt dis r da most FAQed qs ;) :P

I don't get that strange arrow... I added to the FAQ why the WPs didn't show up in preview. But I shouldn't add it though, cadet mode's for n00bs ;D

No, LCD I've got it too!!  ;D on all the solved topics it has a green arrow going onto a white diamond and says

'Add to FAQ'

Edit: I just noticed at the bottom of the indexes of the categories at the bottom where it has the key, for hot/solved topics I have two new icons!! One is a smiley with an M16 and glasses holding the M16 up and next to it, it says 'Topic Entered In FAQ' and there is another one with a red smiley like this  ;D giving the finger with both hands and that says 'Topic passed over'

hrmmmm - it's supposed to only allow ed depot staffers add to the FAQ via the forum. When you click on the Green arrow, does everything work, or do you get errors?

Regular user should now NOT seee the green "add to FAQ" icons. If non-staff members still see them, let me know. Sorry for all of the errors I undoubtedly caused while uploading new versions of the code. :P
