Yes im looking at you zombieslayer

Ok recently ive had someone asking how to make a builder app and they can just not comprehend my instructions!!!
So here is a step by step guide.

1) Go into Classic Applications
2) Click "NEW TOPIC"
3) Title it [Builder] Name
4) Open a new tab/window
5) Go into Classic Applications
6) Go into "Builder Application Information --READ THIS--"
7) Copy the template
8) Go back to the new topic
9) Paste into the grey box
10) Fill out the form
11) Open a new tab/window
12) Go into the site your screenshots are on (eg. Imgur, Imageshack, Photobucket)
13) Click on a screenshot
14) Copy the url (in the address bar at the top)
15) Go back to the new topic
16) See the icons above the grey box? On the bottom row, click the second icon to the left
17) Paste.
18) Press Enter
19) Repeat steps 13-18 until all your screenshots are there
20) Press "Post" below the grey box
21) If this worked, great! If not, please stop bothering me. You are obviously too dim to comprehend simple instructions.

It's sad that we have to make instructions for instructions.

It's either the fact that they do not listen, or they just have troubles finding it, However we must be helpful and paitent to other members

To be honest, there's some people that need to learn how to take screen shots and save them, upload them, etc with EXACT instructions. Some don't even know what Paint is..
It's pretty bad.

People need instructions for lots of thins. I have had to walk so many people through the steps of getting WoM. We should have an instructions section under support with instructions for everything.

That's actually a really great idea... somebody should get on this.

This should be under helpful articles I believe.

Here is how I imagine it would be set up; someone would post a topic with instructions on how to do something that people frequently ask for (or was requested such as in this case). If the instructions are good the topic will be stickied. Once a good intructions topic is stickied all lesser ones will be deleted.
