Obviously, 99% of the threads posted on MsgPlus! help forums; are by newbs who did NOT search the forum, so I suggest making a little box, in the top of the Post Topic page, thats is like

--------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Read me first!                                                   +
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Have you searched the forums for the error you had, alot of
  questions are already answered on the forums.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Are you looking to remove the adware/sponser program?
If so, please read this thread: <blahbalhahlah>
--------------------------------------------------------------------


ETC, got ma point? <3

I like that idea also... put things like... How to color your nickname, block checkers, and other things that we get like 3 new threads a day asking the same thing.

I'll implement it if someone else writes it for me.

(Seems like a pretty good idea; I've seen similar things on other boards)

I could do that if you gave me FTP access .

Thanks for implementing it, I *hope* it will be red, try to make it like in red so they can read it, and with a biiiiig README PLZ

My suggestion

Before Posting

1. Have you searched the forums for a thread that already answers your question?
   
2. Is your question answered in the Messenger Plus! FAQ?
   
3. Is your question answered in one of the sticky threads at the top of the forum?

1. Write in proper, concise English, if you want support in your native language, you can go to the Spanish, French or Dutch forums.
   
2. Do not write in AlTeRnAtInG ChArAcTeRs or "1337 5p34k", but in proper English, this makes it easier for other members to answer your question.
   
3. Provide as much information about your problem as you can, for example, everything you have already tried, what version of Windows, MSN Messenger and Messenger Plus! you are using (type (!VER) in a MSN conversation window)

I think you could use something like regexp's sig... Replace a download with something else... add a search forums button, and some other things... and instead of Messenger Plus! Links put... Read Before Posting and link that to something that talks about how you should search the forum before you post a new thread.

As you can see, I added the 'box.' I used saralk's text with some changes. Let me know if you think any further improvement is needed...

Dodgy WDZ the file/template is missing...

Oh, must be a theme-related problem. I'll sort that out...

Yay! Congratulations, WDZ!

looks great .
