- In the post form where it says "Tip: Styles can be applied quickly to selected text." replace that with a message that is bold saying "DO NOT post of the forum without searching the Wiki first. It won't be tolerated if it's obvious you have not done so.".
Eh, where does it say that? I'm in a post form (lol) and I can't find it. Maybe just put a nice big message beside underneath the subject box or above the save/preview/submit buttons?
Or, IIRC, phpbb3 has an option to display a rules page or a short rules message somewhere on the post form. Not sure where it displays it though, only that it exists.

- The current link to the Wiki ("The OSDev.org Wiki - Got a question? Search this first!") blends in with all the other clutter in the header (Log out, new messages, FAQ, Search, Members, User Control Panel, Last visit, current time, view unanswered posts, view active topics, view new posts, view your posts, all times are UTC -/+ x hours).
Are you on subsilver, boi? Cause I can see it just fine on prosilver all nice and up in the corner above the logout button I never use
Maybe another suggestion: put a link to the wiki before the "Board index" link in the hierarchial view at the top (or whatever the folks at phpbb call it, blobs or something stupid) so that it looks like it's one step up. I've done it before, it's quite easy. I could paste the code if you want.
Offtopic: whoa, deja vu...EDIT: Here we go:
In /styles/breadcrumbs.html (I think), it will look similar to this:
Code:
<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" style="margin-top: 5px;">
<tr>
<td class="row1">
<p class="breadcrumbs"><a href="{U_INDEX}">{L_INDEX}</a><!-- BEGIN navlinks --> <strong>‹</strong> <a href="{navlinks.U_VIEW_FORUM}">{navlinks.FORUM_NAME}</a><!-- END navlinks --></p>
<p class="datetime">{S_TIMEZONE}</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Add this in between "<p class="breadcrumbs">" and "<a href="{U_INDEX}">" (
note there IS a trailing space, phpbb just cuts it off on the post):
Code:
<a href="http://wiki.osdev.org">Wiki</a> <strong>‹</strong>
This should work under prosilver. I don't think I made any changes other than the following for prosilver. Instead of "<strong>‹</strong>" use just "#187;"
EDIT2: If any of you have doubts, this
is my code. Cause I know quite a few of you will.
