As mentioned recently
here, there isnt any easy way of changing the menu tabs as they are part of the SMF Core.
Doing so means that
all future updates to that template would have to be amended manually, plus there is a high chance that it would break any major updates from that point forward until eternity.
However I really don't think it justifies a separate forum subsection, so I'm looking at other ways to bring it more to the fore.
The only way I could think is perhaps have a child board for all of the How Tos and FAQs. The question then is, would this make it stand out any better than the pinned topics?
