Okay, I keep getting MORE and MORE emails about "I'm a new user, how do I post?", almost daily now, and I can't believe that most folks can't figure out how to do it.

First off, whenever you join a NEW WEBSITE, you should read the rules and ANNOUCEMENTS! Announcements is CAPITALIZED so you'd think it could be important. This would lead you to reading the "New User? Problems Posting? Announcement on EVERY SUBFORUM, that tells you what to do to be able to post.

Anyways, you are trying to become part of our community here, so you need to tell us about you and your car. If you put a short, one sentence, or otherwise useless introduction post, you will have 24 hours to correct it, or your account will be deleted, and you can try again.

Here is a SAMPLE STANDARD FORMAT INTRODUCTION POST.

<span style="color:#FF0000">
Hi, my name is ____.

I'm from ______.

I drive a ______ _____.

I found these forums _____ _____ __ __ _ _____ _ ______ _________________________ _ ___.

I've done the following mods to my car.

__
____
_
_____

It's good to meet you all and I hope to learn from you!</span>

Of course, you'd be filling in the blanks as needed.

Please tell us more about your and your car. That's what this section is for.

Why is this so hard to understand?

I'll help the treezy! Hey redz, is it possible to actually make it a standard, like the HAVE to fill it out that way? An official form like when you sign up for the site, and there is boxes for usename, email, password etc. ?

 

I was hoping there would be a way, but I honestly don't know. PM Javageek with your idea.
