• A Newcomer thread – a place to ask the question you thought too silly to post
• Retaining the ‘Read This First’ announcement at the top of the forum
No matter how well the information is presented, people (oldies and newbies alike) will post questions repeated umpteen times before - it is no different now on the internet than it was 20 years ago. The newcomer thread sounds like a great idea, provided enough of the people who have the answers can be bothered to check it.
Read this First - I never read it until about a month ago. I thought it was a generic ReadMe for the whole of FlyerTalk and I only really check the BAEC forum - so perhaps expand the title?
Just my two riels worth from someone who has been visiting nearly a year now.
