Tip Rotator

[Mark]

The tip rotator on the homepage is now fixed, they cycle randomly now. If you want to add your tip to the list, simply post in this thread and I'll add it.

An example of a good tip is
"Always use safety glasses - Mark"

So basically type your tip in quotations and add your RouterForums.com username at the end so we can give you credit for your tip.

Thanks guys
