Seing as i cant reply in the 'Mods & Admin' section, i just thought i'd put my pennies worth in anyway!

I think its a good thing that people can download answers without posting. When i first started posting on here, i tried to say 'hi & welcome' to everyone who posted in newbie corner, but there's that many of them that really are just saying hi for the sake of the quizzes and never intend to read the forum again that it just seems pointless taking the time to acknowledge them! That also means that anyone who might actually want to post on the forum might get ignored too & be put off doing it again!

Is there any way of inserting a template for newbies to use so they post a certain amount of info? or just something for them to copy & paste? I think its easier to reply & start a conversation if they've already given us a bit of info about themselves.

Oh, and as for the forum being quiet over the past few days, i'm guilty too! Dont have access to the internet at home at the moment cos mum tried to 'fix' it! I can only come on here when i'm at work! lol!
