I've started this as an easy to find index of member guides, help topics and info written by the community, for the community. I will have missed many in this first pass (no offence to anyone intended), so please add to them if you know of or find any others. Please also do not waffle on "off topic" in this thread. Let's keep it clean & tidy 
It would be great if this thread could be made sticky at the top of this board for even easier access 
When linking to a thread in response to a question, please credit the original poster in your reply.

Yes considering it was started nearly 5 years ago and has undergone a lot of changes over the years, it's my go to list which I open first thing on my PC.

Hey guys, I've just updated the link to @jonsie's How to lengthen ringtime on any O2 mobile guide, as it was updated over the weekend! It is now a proper guide in the How-To Guides section.

Good news @Martin-O2
On that subject, is there any news about the 'bug' which takes you to the first post and never the one which has just been posted?
It's beyond a joke now.
Some guides have 5-6 pages of comments and having to scroll through to the last one posted is so time consuming. Half the time I just feel like giving up!!

Hey @Cleoriff unfortunately no news on that one. It's still listed as a bug but we don't have an eta on a fix yet. We'll give you a shout as soon as there is any movement.

It's not too bad if it's a single page but when the thread runs to a few pages it's really annoying. This is one of the reasons that i think the guides should be locked and questions asked on a new thread.

I seem to remember asking that about 2 years ago @jonsie
The answer then (under different management) was a resounding NO....

Any chance this Guide could be reinstated, @Martin-O2 ? It lands me in the middle of nowhere when I click on the link on my mobile 😵
