We get way too many requests for tutorials, or else questions that are answered in the tutorials, because apparently no-one checks the stickied threads. Can some powerfull person put, in like permanent box at the top of the forum in bright red, bold letters CHECK OUT THE STICKIED TUTORIAL THREADS BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!!. Another stickied thread won't do it, because as I said, people don't read them.
I didn't put this in ZQ help because it's not a question.

Sounds good.
It would be something like the box on top of the Beta Discussion forum. Maybe doesn't even need to be red.

(I already see the threads titled "Where can I find the stickied tutorials? :( ".)

Maybe an announcement would be better? That way, there'd be no need for a custom VB hack (which a box would need).

As long as the announcement is readable without having to click on anything. Otherwise it's just another thread. Perhaps an anouncement whose title is my above message. And I think it should be red, otherwise people won't notice it.

I don't know, the entire layout, for me, is red... maybe like bright yellow... or vibrant green...

I fifth/sixth? this!

Yeah and although I don't have that many posts on AGN a lot have been redirecting people to tutorials where their exact questions are answered.

Yeah, this would definately be a good idea.
