This is just a question and I under stand that all new members need to be welcomed to the forum and this is important but is it necessary for all of the welcome post to go to the " what's new " page. At times the" what's new " pages are awash with nothing but introductions. And the normal discussion aspect of the forum ceases. Or is there a setting we can adjust? Just something I have noticed. I like to log on and scroll through the " what's new " pages to see what has been happening.
Chubba,
There is only one problem with having them not show up on the 'What's New' page, and that would be that no-one would then ever look at them - defeating the purpose of having these type of posts in the first place..... and making people feel welcome and valued is what keeps people posting.
I know it can be a pain sometimes, but it isn't the norm to see only Intro Threads on the 'What's New' page, and you can click past them easily if you like, as they are normally labelled as Intro.
If you want them to disappear then continue to post to other threads, which puts them at the top....:o

Not sure if it can be done. I notice a lot of newbs dont do an intro. Personally im not fussed about it. I can see why they are asked, its the courtiess thing to do, if thats hoe you spell it lol. But if they start asking a question in there first thread and someone says to give an intro first. Is there a way to only let them into the intro section for their first post? Then they can post as they wish?
It might just save people telling them to do an intro first. ..
Food for thought.

It is a good idea mate I've thought of that myself a few times but there are a lot of people who really don't understand the basics of computers let alone signing up to a forum and asking a question.Quote:

I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for people to sign up and ask a question and that extra restriction may be too much for the average joe.
Just ban Clunkster and Growler and there won't be a problem,....easy...lol
No Way mate GROWLER IS CATCHING UP after his break and CLUNK IS JUST CRUISINGQuote:
