Max, in reply to you:

Could mailing an e-mail version of the FAQ or SOME welcome/orientation message become automatic when new members join, or could a volunteer take it on?

Good Idea, I'll think about this one. - Max

I volunteer to do it-- using some of the copy I have shared with you in the past, know what I mean? *G* I have been to a lot of boards this year-- I think I know the range of approaches people have used. I'd work with a 'Cat Committee to develop a standard one, too. (A Kittee?)

I accept your efforts, thank you. Shouldn't be too hard, Joe has already done much. - Max

Could the info on appropriate thread titling be shown on the Create a Thread page?

Not sure I understang this. - Max

Spaw's idea, only worded as we already have it somewhere in the FAQ or somedamnwhar.

And please, Permathread titles if appearing at the top of the forum, in RED so people SEE it.

We have them in a drop down box now, at the top of the forum. It is more obvious, yes. I will also include it in the QuickLinks and possibly elsewhere. - Max
