It may be a good thing to let people post tutorials, it may help foster more education!

Good find. Everything else works for posting resources and projects but when you want to add a new tutorial it just goes to the home page. I second the need for this to be fixed.

This won't be fixed. Refer to: http://zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=39383.0

tl;dr, the code was so horrible with the tutorials module that I outright disabled it. The current administration should heed the warnings about dropping this codebase ASAP

EDIT: I partially should take the blame for its horrible state considering I was working under the pretenses that the author had gone through and tested everything, and should've just dropped the site completely and started fresh when my time was there -- rather than keeping it going and fixing whatever bugs were reported. Though I doubt anyone will fix this.

Even when the tutorials section was operative, it did not have a surge of people doing things with it. If anything, if someone wants to post a tutorial, why not use the Wiki (which has the added benefit of allowing multiple people to work on tutorials together)?

If this is the case perhaps we should remove/migrate that forum section then as it is going to be progressively outdated and unusable.

I agree with this, the wiki really should be used for things like this.
