    What ever u place, it need to be rly short, even my guide is rly long for this, because most ppl dont read long posts.
    Basically just need to highlight main rules with larger font, and then set recommended links to Aaddron's search guide, my guild and stiff like that

    I think the current one is very short but not very informative. We need to try Newbies First Stop. That would be perfect if the links worked.

    The new software seems to do better with links so it might work now.

    Ok, I know now. The intro message will not accept links, but it will accept BB code.

    Does anybody know the BB code to make that work? If so, I will add it to that intro message:).

    It should be using bb code to turn a url into a link in the first place. I guess you could test it with something like
    Code:
    [url=http://www.gameogre.com]The GameOgre Homepage[/url]

    Completely agree. I'm new and fully support this idea. Rules are important and I would not of been deterred if I had to progress through the rules before gaining full access to the forums.

    It'd go down like this:

    Me: That's against the rules.
    Them: Sorry, I didn't know.
    Me: You didn't read the rules?
    Them: No, I couldn't find them. Maybe they should be easier to find.
    Me: You didn't see all them words when you signed up?
    Them: Ooooo them were the rules? I didn't know that, sorry. I just skipped them.
    Me: *facepalm*

    The system is fine, you just lost posts because some got deleted. You'll be able to chat soon enough as long as you stay above the 15 post threshold.
