- added changelog. This is to help others see what major edits were done, also stuff i ought to mention whenever possible. For small edits like typos or minor things that don't require mention, i won't waste time including here. I may add links, but i may also alternatively instead just provide keywords in code tags, for which you can then search in this thread to find it (because from time to time i may move parts to other sections in the thread which may break links).

- Added a vote poll, which you can change your vote whenever you like.
If too many unlike, then i probably need to edit my FAQ more to be up to standard
feel free to share feedback if any part of the FAQ can be improved, or needs editing. Always open to improvements
