[wp-forums] Registration page mock image

[Mark / t31os]

Just moving this along to the registration page thread (sorry, it's just 
the threading thing in thunderbird, it's easier when things are in their 
respective threads).

Agree on your point about the main page Sam.

However i feel the link might fit better down next to the links at the 
bottom of the forum list, alongside the current ones..

"All Topics | No Replies | No Tags | Not Resolved"

Perhaps something like "| Usage Rules and Guidelines" .. to go on the 
end.. (agree, disagree?)

It may not stand out there, unless there were a few CSS tweaks(this 
brings us back to the "Forum needs some CSS updates" topic again though 
- although we could suggest some CSS tweaks to).

About the suggested changes to the registration page, did you feel 
anything was out of place? or that anything could be worded 
differently... etc.. just to clarify a little further..

Hi,
I'm sort of a "take it all in guy" before jumping in.
I do like the amendments suggested for registration page.
Also, why can't a prominent link be put on front page for the forum 
rules - that would sort of take away any excuses. Like on the left side 
with the "Getting Started" and search.
