Board Information Button

I do not know if anyone on Staff actually reads these but here goes anyhow. I know that, aside from board admins, practically no one accesses the board information page. I doubt that they even know it is there.

A much better approach would be to have the board information button sitting right beside "Begin a new thread" so it would be more likely to at least be noticed. Or, if there were simply a line between the board name and "Begin a new thread" which simply said "Be sure and check the Board Information page for useful information" folks might be more likely to click it. Some of us actually spend a lot of time trying to come up with useful information, guidelines etc. to place there and we wonder if the effort is just a waste of time. It is sad if the only reason the page is accessed is for other admins to get ideas for their own pages, although that is a good use in itself.

Just my slightly discouraged thoughts. Sometimes (many times?) I feel like we are step-children that have to be put up with but paid as little attention as possible by the parents.
