Recently, the number of repetitive threads in Civ3 General Discussion has increased again. Talking about it, some user mentioned that they believe this is due to newbies being overwhelmed by the sheer number of threads, features and posters.
One explicitly mentioned that he had trouble keeping track of things, and I remember being confused and lost before I discovered how to use the user cp, too.
Thunderfall: I know many will ignore this, but couldn't you email a short info text on how this fourm works, including links to FAQ for vB, FAQ threads and newbie Qs thread to new posters?
or, maybe better: The first three times someone logs in (easy to check via postcount), a screen shows up with this information. Not a pop-up, that would get closed before it has finished loading. Just a screen with a next button at the bottom.....
