Afi4wins Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Without any doubt, a lot of new members have been posting external links within their posts in the forum section. In most cases, these new members are unaware of the Forum Rules. They have not read them simply because these Rules are located way back down in the list, which most members, new or old, hardly ever scroll down to. The few top sections and topics are the most frequented by all. So, it only makes sense that all new members should see this Forum Rules FIRST, before attempting to make any posts. Hence, no more excuses of not knowing the rules! Hehehe. ValDes, MacdoniS and cocopop3011 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't move it from the place its in now but I know one guy who could do this Depending on whether or not he thinks its a good idea of course Shall we wait for Mr Guru to come?

And of course my dear. He's the only person who can decide to move the Forum Rules topic as necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoDubbed Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Maybe if a pop up message 'No external links allowed' for every newbie when they try to post something? cocopop3011 and Afi4wins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilianInThaHouse Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 This was an brilliant idea Afi. I must admit I was thinking of 'Forum Rules' numerous times and I have an thought they should be moved upper. I never suggested thought. Yesterday when I logged in I was a bit surprised but happy to see the 'Forum Rules' at the very top. Now everything looks just perfect!
