Why is it that hard to click the collapse button, if the first post annoys you.
sorry but i don't get it....
First of all, there's nothing anywhere to tell people you CAN collapse the thread to get rid of the first post at the top of every page. So who's going to know that unless they just read it here?
Secondly, because it UN-collapses again every time you change pages. Having the first instructional post reappear again, then having to move over to the button and click it to make it go away accomplishes nothing. By that time, we would have otherwise scrolled through it already.

Putting that all relevant information in the first post is very important. Most of that needs to be available BEFORE people know if they want to download the hack or not. Besides, that first post gets edited and revised along the way to inform everyone of bug fixes and upgrades or optional features.
Throughout the expanse of the thread, that's the best place to point people to when they repeatedly ask the same questions. So I don't agree it's a good idea to chop all those notes out of the first thread.
