    I'm an avid listener of today fm and the other day while listening to Rays Fix it friday, I thought it would be nice if boards had a similar feature. For those who do not listen to it, its a program where people text in with question that they need help with and ray finds the answer. I know nearly every topic is covered in boards and you could just go to the relevent forum and post the question, but often the responce is "google it" or sometimes the question is that obscure it cannot be placed under any heading.
    Maybe a place in afterhours where a person could ask a question and people would post the answer, although it would require heavy modding cause of muppest responding with "thats a stupid question" or even muppets posting stupid questions in the first place.
    Just a though, thought it might be a nice addition.

    I'd be inclined to think that questions should live under their relevant topics. Can you give me an example of the sorts of questions you mean?

    Well , i can't think of any great ones off hand.
    some fo these have been done already in after hours, but on the lines of "why do men have nipples?"
    and suck odd obscure questions.

    To take an example from the afterhours board, I'm not talking about a question like "does my mate look like randal?" more like the one, "name of old rte show."

    I guess the television forum is for other things, like the name of the old BBC show.

    I haven't seen a question yet that wouldn't fit in a specialised forum though.
