You, me and everyone else hate big fonts, so im not so sure about that :P. A red border would help better i guess.
I don't hate them if they are used for stuff like that. :D

of course I'm not speaking about like fontsize +13, but just a few tats higher than normal, so it is slightly bigger than the other texts.... Lightred background, true red border, etc.... You know, like a "stop! you're doing something very wrong and you're about to get spammed with millions of viagra pills and dildo's if you don't read this" kind of box :P

... Or a big "READ FIRST" message at the top
I thought you just said you hated big texts :refuck:

How about just not showing the thread page until they've checked a box saying they've read it or something?

Yeah, I changed the first line from 12px to 16px. :p

Making the box red doesn't seem very user-friendly... it's not a crime to post a new thread in Plus! Help & Support. :tongue:

it isn't? :p    but it looks very eye catching, hard to miss ....

Anyways, something which does make some sense too (I hope):
Add the same box in Bug Reports (especially the (!VER) part).
