Forcing new members may do nothing other than making them aware of the resource before they start their journey here. Whether or not it actually helps any, who knows? Maybe time would tell.

I understand that some members basically refuse to search and learn for themselves but I can't even begin to count the numbers of times I have directed people to the Manifesto or FSM listing or otherwise. The most important all-encompassing forum resource should hit you smack-dab in the third eye when you view the cover page.

I hate to say it, but I would make use of a link to it up by the New Posts | Private Messages | FAQ | Calendar | Community | Forum Actions | Quick Links | Forum Rules links somewhere. I have no idea how popular that would be though, so don't do it on my account. How's that for non-committal?
Bingo! Yes, yes, yes! (P.S. please be careful of those sharp fence boards)

I think the Manifesto/FAQ link would slot in quite nicely next to the lime green Forum Rules.
Thanks for your feedback, Mr. Fenner! Much appreciated.
