Would it be possible to incorporate this into the new forum design ?
In this sub section there could be a number of stickies, mainly the ATR buyers guide and a gentle reminder
of how useful the search function is to finding information.
There could also be a requirement for new members to make a 1st post in the newbie section before being allowed to post elsewhere. Posts in these sections are usually a hello to the forum, hopefully established members read the posts and welcome the new member in. This way the isn't any ill feeling when a new member joins up and is instantly told to 'search'.
This would hopefully eliminate new members making posts asking about various problems and what to look for when buying, without 1st reading the stickies. This in the past has been know to irritate certain members .
