| Feb 7, 2011 at 4:46 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | you might also go into Chrome Incognito mode on stackoverflow.com and click the ask a question button to see the difference there; documented at blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/10/asking-better-questions | |
| Feb 7, 2011 at 4:45 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | have you viewed the question ask interface lately? It has multiple links to the /faq in the sidebar. If your argument is that people don't read -- well, exactly. Good luck fixing that. :) meta.stackexchange.com/questions/33482/… | |
| Feb 7, 2011 at 2:18 | comment | added | mxyzplk Mod | Until you click it, making it go away, which is the first action most people take, and then you look around, then you go to post and have no cues... A one time banner is not full communication. We need to rewrite the FAQ to be "most important stuff first" and we probably need to get that content in more places. You know, it might be nice on someone's first comment, first post, first vote, etc. to be able to link them over to the right part of the FAQ - "Hey, before your first post, read this to make sure it goes smoothly..." | |

Go read this!" that concisely" uhh.. I highly recommend you visit this site in Google Chrome Incognito mode (or some other web browser you never use) and see what the new user experience is like yourself. We practically TACKLE them with the damn /faq. | |
