this is a great idea, especially if we can search by the difficulty, I know I will mod my SD at some point,

Can we add a rating system too for the effectiveness of the mod, I know we can by reading the posts but it takes so much time..

It might make modding less intimidating for some users if we came up with an easy to follow grading system.

Level 1 - Novice Consumer - Upgrade can be completed by anyone with no experience.
Level 2 - Techie Consumer - May require basic technical skills and/or mechanic skills to complete upgrade
Level 3 - Early Adopter - A good knowledge of your system is a must and may require firmware changes
Level 4 - Beta Testers  - Will require improvisation for firmware and or hardware. Might break your system
Level 5 - Developer - Has not yet been completed and will require major hardware and firmware changes to make work. Your system will be broken.

Can these be put in the drop down like the help sections "HELP!" and "Solved"?

Along with the details for the part in question (for straight replacement purposes) such a resource would be a handy reference for someone wanting to figure out how to best upgrade their unit.

Just a thought, as I try to figure out what I should be teeing up for changes...

The trouble is remembering to implement it when users make new posts. I suppose we can always edit it in.
