    Forum rules

    I am i ashamed to admit but i have spent 15 minutes trying to find "Forum Rules" tread for this forums (CodeGuru). Why isn't this somewhere easier to "spot" and read.

    Try the Acceptable Usage Policy link that is at the bottom of every page.

    I meant to say that those treads are not easy to find.

    Sorry. The link is at the bottom of every forum page. Additionally, the information was presented when you registered with the site.

    They are the very same rules one must agree to when registering for the forum. So there's no way to join without seeing them.

    Although I do agree that users are at fault if they don't read it when signing up...but the AUP link is in a rather awkward place and has a semi obscure name.

    Any chance it could be added to the top menu or a more prominent position?

    Placing such things at the bottom is an industry standard. It's tough to find a web site that doesn't put them there.

    Yes, at the bottom is industry standard, but not all alone in the center. If CodeGuru was to follow industry normalcy, it would be included with the Legal Notices, Licensing, Permissions, Privacy Policy. section also located at the bottom.
