And in respect, please provide better titles than PLEASE READ [and the failed etc.] to elict a better response in grabbing the reader's attention. Even if you have to, be as wordy as possible.

Last point: If even by some miniscule chance they happen to miss it. You could quickly refer them to the proposed notice [which would ideally have all the threads merged contained to the related subject so that in hopes it [the notice] may cover all bases. In the event, you [TFP staff] are still skeptical you could always inculde at the bottom of the first post in the notice that: In the event this thread fails to address all your misconceptions or questions about this subject feel free to PM me or [insert another valued staff member] if you fail to get the responses you desire you may only then contact Halx or an Administrator from the list.

A little creativity goes a long way, I always say.

They also tend to miss the newbies forum a lot.
I agree with that! That tends to go without saying, though... Nobody wants to be a newbie.
