Hola Ivar and Moderators. In a recent post a new member without knowing transgressed Rule 2. A Moderator and other members politely pointed this out to our new member. Now I have been a Forum Member for around 5 years and have on occasions (unknowingly) transgressed.
I have tried to fine a quick link to the Forum Rules from amongst the sub-headings at the top of the page. Maybe, say when the next upgrade is planned, a quick link to Forum Rules should be added. Happy to be corrected. Cheers.

Thank you for this! I've spent a fair bit of time looking for the rules myself; can't see what's in front of my eyes.

I had the same problem also, not seeing what was before my eyes ;-) I think the box with the forum rule link and others just blends a bit too much in/even kind of looks like an ad banner. Perhaps a subtle color change might help? Buen Camino, SY

Thanks - yes as plain as the nose on your face - when someone points them out. Ivar maybe that script colour needs a change - RED maybe!!

Have had some time to check this out. I am fairly confident that 'Camino Guides / Private Conversations / Forum Rules' does not show up unless one is 'Logged In.' Perhaps that's why it's so hard to find.

I have checked the 'Forum rules' as 'watched with email alerts', so if anything changes I am informed and can look.
As it affects new members particularly maybe it is possible to be asked to read them before finally signing up. Not forced reading but a link on the lines of 'Please read the forum rules' with a tick box. Doesn't guarantee they will be read bit would draw attention to them.
Possible Ivar? or a hassle to programme into the initial sign up?

The Forum Rules are now available on the Big Blue Button on top of the side bar at the right hand side of your page.
Thank you Ivar.
