lachlan:
Seeig as so many new members seem to glaze over the manual link, we should change it to "NEW MEMBERS CLICK HERE BEFORE YOU ASK BASIC QUESTION IN OUR FORUM".
It would make the front page look hideous, but it would ensure that all new members read the manual and/or FAQ before posting.

Febs:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

*gasps for breath*

They wouldn't read the stickied thread.  If you don't believe me, look at the Rockbox forums on Mistic River.

Yotto:
How about a check for how many posts you have made.  If it's under, say, 10, a page comes up with big links to the manual and wiki, and buried somewhere random on the page is a link to the forum. After 10 posts, that goes away and you get the normal forum.

:D

I kind of like that idea, but it's perhaps a bit unworkable. How about viewing the FAQ being a mandatory part of registration for the forum (sort of like a EULA)?

Llorean:
And how many people click through EULAs without reading them. There is pretty much no way of enforcing reading of the FAQ before posting without making posting enough of a hassle that it will discourage users from signing up at all.
