Hmm... not sure if it's possible but here it goes...
Well, the Guides and Tutorials board is super important for the newcomer, yet it is hidden under a long path (gameplay/newcomers/guides and tutorials), so it's easily missed, especially for new forum users. I remember back in the day in my newbie days it wasn't so easy for me to navigate through the boards to find the FAQ thread and other guides, considering I didn't know much about the game so all those threads about stuff I didn't know were a little intimidating. Eventually I did but perhaps there is a way to link to them from the main page? Yes, I know, there is a link already (as child board of the newbie help board). But even so, it's not easy to see and, given the amount of posts we get about a few recurrent topics despite the fact that they are clearly addressed in stickies and other threads, it would seem that the tiny link is not working that well.
Is there a way to add some more flashy buttons somewhere at the top of the forum home (or any other relevant place)? Maybe have a line just above the boards with links to important threads we don't want anyone to miss, like Game Policies (which will be updated soon), Guides and Tutorials, forum rules, etc. Maybe a series of lined up buttons, 200x100px each or something like that. That way we can draw more attention to those threads we don't want anyone to miss and hopefully make the forum a little more newbie-friendly and avoid duplicate threads.
