Did I get your attention? I hope so because that is the point. A heading like that "sticked" to the top of each forum subject and a description of what kind of topics are posted there.

(Like this: Welcome to the FS2004 forum. This forum is for topics dealing with FS2004 only. Before you post, take a look at the topics already there and see if your posting deals with FS2004. If you dont think it does, than take a look at our other 46+ forum subjects and find a home for you topic.)

If I know its in the heading of the subject, but its obvious that many dont see the small print. It is true that some subjects are iffy on the forum but I think a post in the forum itself might help bring the "mispostings" down some. Its not a perfect and you will still get those who just cant and wont read posting in the wrong forum.

Just a thought Pete

Good idea Chris.

I'll try to remember - though the offenders probably won't read that either! (me being cynical...)

Good idea - I may adopt it in the FFDS forum as well....

No matter how "sticky" you make the "read this first" threads, you'll still get posters (and I presume they're well intentioned) that will post out of topic, or "policy-contrary".

But a catchy title - "READ THIS OR DIE!" should definitely catch the eye of the unwary first timer....

Short & sweet & to the point. Would 'READ THIS OR DIE PUNK' get their attention? Still doubt it Grin

Trucker. I've seen you mention this several times recently. Please don't get a complex about a couple of your topics being moved. I've been a member of this forum since its first day. There's so many different sections now that even I have problems with where I'm supposed to post certain topics. I wouldn't put it in the wrong place deliberately but I reckon if it's wrong, someone will soon move it for me. Cheesy

PS. [Cynical mode on] Nice idea but it will never work. Tongue

Thanks Hagar:
I still think they (Moderators) should give me a Navigator and a FS Engineer when they see me log on.

I will forgo the RISK AND FLYING PAY (LOL)

Much Thanks.....Cheers....Doug
