at the top of the faq is a link that lets you download the entire faq to your computer. I saw this and thought "awesome" of course. Well, when I downloaded it and opened it, all it is is about 120 megabytes of nothing. It's like I downloaded the Shroomery's temporary internet files. It's 100's of folders that contain 100's more folders, and in those folders are useless Gif images; most of them having nothing at all to do with mushrooms period. Most out advertisement banners, and most of them I've never even seen on the site. Now, in searching through the mess, I have found a couple of pictures of mushrooms, I'll give it that. But where's the other 95% of the faq? Could someone explain to me whats up with this please?

What program did you use to extract it? Use Winrar for instance(if on windows), this will create the folders along with the files, and you will be able to start it.

When you extract the archive, you get a folder shroomery, and a file start.htm
Open the file start.htm.

I tried that though. It takes me to a link, which then takes me to the page that I downloaded the file from in the first place. I tried saving the link, but it just tries to save the html page that it sends you to.
Maybe its not meant to be...

Yea, your right. I finally figured that out two seconds ago, and now here's your post confirming it. I should have figured that out in the first place. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
