A Welcome and a "How To..." text?...

Postby Amazing Matheja » Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:29

I just want to help...
So i was thinking that a text on the top head of the forum should help...
Something like this :



"Welcome on the ITST Forum.
If this is your first time here, we invite you to check the FAQ by clicking on the previous link. You will have to subscribe first if you want to write and share messages. To start reading messages, choose the desired forum amongst one from the list beneath."



I haven't checked it recently, but in the FAQ there should have all the "How To..." answers, and some "what we don't want..." stuff (multiple accounts, name dropping, insulting/lack of respect, double posting, creating irrelevant topics,...) and maybe also some advices (like "search before posting" and all... :P )


I know I am not the best one to give lessons here, but this is just something that could help the "newbies", and it could help also to explain why this or that is not "wanted" on the forum...
Well, that was my 2 c's thoughts though... :oops:
:)

Thx Goa! :)
But maybe the part about TS4 should only be in the TS4 section...
A sticked topic, in the TS4 forum, listing what is "allowed" or not... I'm not sure if it should be in the general FAQ, or in the "welcome text"...
But maybe you're right cause a lot of new people come to play TS4...

I think it is a very good idea. Or maybe it was a kick from Matheja to us for not having this properly set up ;). Either way i will change/add some things so its easier for new people to get the ITST concept.

By the way, since we have a lot of new members and i havent been a new member in quite some years :roll: i wouldnt mind some feedback from any new guy. Just let me know what you think could be improved. What did you find unclear when you first signed up for ITST?
