..it seems that most of the new members don't even know they exist.

Those are the forum rules, you will notice they are now in the top menu in a nice little red colour. READ THEM

Maybe it's just me...but I can't see the nice little link in the user-menu anymore.
There definately should be little red link up there again, then people would have no excuse to not have read them.

Just the link in the quick-reply box isn't enough (and it's the only link I have seen so far). People who come here to ask a question won't notice it.
I don't remember if a link to the rules is shown when you register, if not, this would be a good idea to do so. Maybe also a link from the Help Documents page would be good.



Edit: A bit offtopic, but (how) can I rate a thread ? I can't find the link whatsoever. I think there once was some sort of place to rate a thread...
