On the top menu of this forum you will see a new button named "Articles"
It's a new way to participate to this forum.
If you have something to write in the form of an article just write it and place there.
Categories can be expanded and improved, just let me know what category you need and I will add new.
Regards
Eros

Mmmh, where do Icontribute now. Journal, Forum, Petr's site???? To many choices. But great anyway!
@Lionheart: What about posting your samples there as little tutorials. I think it is a better place.

@eros, michael...
@all others, short reply:
First of all: good idea with the new column "articles", I like it:) I have checked it some minutes before and agree with the suggestion...
- Yes, perhaps a good idea to collect knowledge there in a short form/way, I have thought about it for short tutorials or tips/tricks... to use thinbasic (and for me it's important to do it in a simple easy to understand way!), because I know very good about the difficulties to see the bright horizont of understanding all the thinbasic stuff and examples...
If you use one or two examples (sample scripts) of your favourite theme ("UI", "TBDM", "CONSOLE", "CALLBACKS", "OXYGEN", "File", "Menu"... etcpp) there will be a lot of questions at all... one question leads to another one... and I like to see how other users make their script to learn with the examples... if they like to publish it...
my plan: short subject of the theme, shows a short script (or only a part of it), then the result and the way of "how do you make it"?... can build such a simple article, no problem...
perhaps another idea: So you can build some day a "thinbasic" book (my idea to edit it and try to explain it with easy words!) with full of good articles and photos :-D it's necessary to see results and printing examples (pdf, word, rtf) for newbies and advanced users... these examples are still missing here ;(, but we can change it by doing :)
the journal of petr is a very good idea, I have had in my mind to do another publication for beginners and make it easy to understand and don't be afraid of making mistakes or asking "silly questions", this forum lives and make profit quite good of it ;)
- the articles have to be sorted, analyzed after there theme content ???
- it should be a monthly issue, continous, regularly publication.. who will manage it???
- you don't mean a new kind of 'wikipedia' for thinbasic??? ;-D
I will think more about it, perhaps other users can open their mind to make suggestions or give new ideas :)
best regards, Lionheart (Frank)
ps: I have sometimes a great fun (lust) to use existing scripts to learn from it, then after that exploring I am searching for new possibilities (mixing "USES TBGL", "UI", "CONSOLE") and looking for new ways to build my own script...
- it's more useful to see the working with my own "mistakes" how to use a script and that would I like to do in my articles... but every thinbasic user has his/her own way of thinking or solving his task, idea... don't know...
my 5 cents for this day... I am nearly ill... cold noses, headache... weather problem...
subject: "Button callbacks", "UI",
theme: "How to use a multi-call-back popup window".
easy dimension: for Beginners, author by xyz, date/time:
script example released at forum board ? (date/time):
article with photos and script example added and existing? (yes/no)...
making critics :)
and so on...
