Top idea
Is it possible to make submisssions to this thread only via moderators only
This will help to ensure the data is as correct as can be and keep the thread tidy (free from coments and debate)

The general idea is that all the relevant links are in the top post - what comes after isn't really important. We could lock the thread, to stop most people posting...

If anybody finds some info which they feel should be in this thread, post up! Frank or I will read the post eventually. :D

OK, I've made a new thread for people to make comments on our FAQ, without filling this thread with chat.
