New Users - PM with handy links

[Len]

Hi jv glad you were able to find time in your busy schedule!

What russ-vdub is proposing is a little different though and might help!
Even if it cut down on say 50% of those posts surely thats worth a trial or something?

[jv]

Sure, how do you suggest I implement it?

[Len]

Absolutely no idea! As topher said I'm totally clueless and useless in such matters!

But I dare say some bright spark, even yourself could come up with some code or something to patch in or whatever!

But yea keep thinking as anything to stop the picture/PM posts is worth persuing.

You have probably made twice as many posts in here about a load of balls than all of the above picture/PM posts put together! 

[Len]

And the point of your post is?

Well why do you want to cut them down by 50%?

[Len]

personally I think it would be great if there were none of these such posts!
But any reduction would be welcome. I was just being realistic, knowing as jv said most people dont read these things!

[russ-vdub]

I wasn't thinkin about putting things in the forum guildlines, cos we all know, nobody reads them. I aint much of a wizz with html/java etc but i was kinda thinking of something like this.

Something like that in a pm maybe?

[topher]

still gives us the 'no pm's before 10 posts' problem, could be added to a welcome email on registration.. whether they read it is another matter

[russ-vdub]

can it not be swindled so they can receive that first one and lock the rest of the pm features, or is that proper complicated?
