I would like to see a section in the forums or on the site that is a how to section.  Have it cover things like:

How to create a manual profile
What to do if the DVD isn't in the DVD and how to contribute it
How to backup/restore your database
How to upload you collection
How to submit a contributio change

Things like that to help out new users to the program.

Yeah, but you really don't want to tell new users to go to someone else's site to learn how to use the program.

I think Skip is specifically referring to the Wiki on Doug's site (DVD Profiler Community Knowledge Base). Writen by Users, for Users.

I think Doug's site is a great resource.  But I also think it would be more valuable if it was hosted here.  At the very least it would eliminate threads asking how to do something followed by a link to Doug's site.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection.

I basically agree. More people will know about it and write, and more people can actually see it and learn.

The Wiki on Doug's site is great though, lacking a place here. I am sure, if Ken would create a Wiki or similar place here where we can write stuff like that, Doug will be more than happy to somehow provide the existing data to Ken to avoid a start from scratch...

I think I'm going to need a URL Profiler to keep track of all of those.

Why don't you people read previous postings on this site. This is DVD Profiler. There is no other.

I could point you to the things you should be reading, but why should I do your work.

Ken (and anyone else) is more than welcome to lift content wholesale from it, as long as credit is given to the author(s) of the pages. Obviously an official wiki is better than an unofficial one!
