I'm attempting to tile my house floor and would appreciate some opinions here.
In order to tile over a crack, is it best to use a 'fabric' to cover the crack, or the type of 'thinset' that allows for movement? Your help will be appreciated.

Sorta depends on the type and size of the crack. check with someone locally to be sure. Do you have a newer home with a pre or post tension slab? If so better contact a third party for an inspection
Fabric is definitely out.
I would be very careful installing tile on a floor that has cracks. You do not mention age or size which does make a difference; hairline 20 years old or 1/2" wide by 10' long?

They use a membrane under tile around here. The fact is virtually all slabs will crack and you want to isolate that from the tile.
Dude........
If you got sum Crack on the floor, you dont want to tile over it. That would be such a waste. Get a straw and snort it up your nose before you do the tile. You'll get a good buzz and feel good when you do the tile. If you dont want to snort it, I will snort it for ya. but dont tile over it. Crack is too cool to waste.
