What is a Question?
Questions are a super-easy way to get answers from the Instructables community. Learn how to build, do, or make anything! You just ask a question and the community will provide answers. You choose the best answer!
Submit a Forum Topic! The forums are the place to ask questions, share a cool project from another site, find collaborators for your latest project, or discuss anything of interest to the Instructables community.
Do you have a lot of images to upload?
If you prefer to upload your images before you submit, then this is for you.
Remember to tag them so they will be easier for you to find when you are viewing your library.
You can also upload images when you are creating your posts.
Did you find a bug or have a suggestion for us?
We appreciate all the help our users give us in tracking down bugs and making the site better for everyone.

I've linked it to my Instructables (under the video) that you can find here :) This "video" category is brand new here on Instructables and I might be off but I think it's applicable.
Perhaps in future Instructables you could include INSTRUCTIONS..... just kidding. NICE JOB BTW. Do have a suggestion though: Maybe put the sentence below the Video in Bold and perhaps CAPS to catch the attention of people whom might just skim and miss it. I wouldn't suggest doing this on regular Instructables though :)
Great...an Instruction-less INSTRUCTABLE! Maybe we need a new website for "Bad-Hack-Demos.com". And even then it hardly qualifies for that. Mabe a site called TriffleVids.com.
thats awesome but, this is for youtube and hackaday, when posting something on Instructables you need a work log or at least pictures of your progress so others can learn and possibly build on your ideas
Additional documentation is not required for Videos and Slideshows. If you really want more information, than ask for it from the author, but don't demand. What kind of videos can I post? Submit your how-to videos, show off what you have made or are currently making. Just make sure the videos are your own. What can I use slideshows for? Slideshows are for showing off photos of what you made or did, but don't have full instructions to create an Instructable with.
Here's what we have on the site describing what each type is meant for. I think the problem is that the people posting are seeing this information, but not all the readers, so we end up with the disconnect. It's great for users who really want to ask the author for more detail on a project, but the posts I'm seeing are mostly just saying, hey this isn't an Instructable, you need more documentation.
Here you go.... Made you guys down at HQ a [http://www.instructables.com/id/The-InstructableSlideshowVideo-Tabs..../ Tab Instructable]. Hopefully the masses will become somewhat curious and read up on it :)
I never said you weren't a boss.... I just merely suggested that one of the bosses (didn't want to exclude the others :P ) post something.
I know what you mean... maybe at the top/bottom of each slideshow/video there should be an explanation of the new additions (at least for a while like a month or so) just to get everyone into the swing of things. It could also include that people can ask for instructions, and not demand them. Unless the authors foresee the needs of the community like tanntraad when he linked his Video to his Instructable :)
