			<description><![CDATA[Dear Admin and Civilea Staff<br />
greeting from my heart,<br />
actually, since 04/04/2009 the date of my membership in civilea, I Knew great staff here, <br />
Sadly, most of them retired after they influenced the engineering life of a lot of us <br />
So, The least we can offer to them is to create an honored board for them<br />
because civilea is not just a forum, civilea is our family  <br />
I'm very sad since Bennyp retired after more than (13) years from the perpetual giving to this forum and others, but it is the life norm<br />
and I hope the new generations of civilea know that how those staffs were great<br />
many thanks and regards<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi I am using this forum for a few years now and there is a problem almost everyone has faced which is Dead links because of files deletion from file sharing sites. Most of the time files get deleted within weeks or months and everyone starts asking for reupload. So it would be good if we can have our own torrent server to preserve the files. We can encourage users to keep seeding by keeping track of who is seeding and who is not. I mean giving points for seeding etc. Admin should give a thought about it if it can be done.<br />
<br />
Thanks]]></description>

<br />
I have a suggestion to open a discussion on how to improve "Engineering Problems" section.<br />
<br />
Going thru the section we can see that most of the time questions are asked without proper data and people who are trying to help end up asking  for more info in order to help.<br />
<br />
Considering the person who has a difficult situation in hand, I think we may try to come up some come kind of fill-in the blanks approach for them to post their questions and get answers faster<br />
<br />
For example in Engineering books there are  a lot of formats,  we can gather a format for different types of questions.<br />
<br />
I am just making up some format here just to get this topic started:<br />
<br />
1- Question is about:  Analysis, design, foundation, beam, concrete , wood, etc (Say:<span style="color: #FF0000;" class="mycode_color"> Analysis</span>)<br />
2- Given: Applied code, loading, sketch of the problem <span style="color: #FF0000;" class="mycode_color">(a picture worth a lot of words</span>)<br />
3- Answer requested for: (<span style="color: #FF0000;" class="mycode_color">Having difficulty with ......?</span>)<br />
<br />
I think doing something like this will encourage forum members to answer the questions., and forum activity increases.<br />
<br />
The person who is asking the question gets better and faster answers.<br />
Saves time for everybody<br />
<br />
