Could I suggest...

Would it be a better, or extra place to put the How to use this forum” link... http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=149014.0

At the top of the forum homepage - to catch (some of the) people before they actually get to the individual topic pages and start mashing their keyboards ?

Was talked about in a recent thread.

I think some sections bumped it up the list.

There is more reading elsewhere on the topic. (cant put my finger on it right now)
