and then having the forum link in each section.

i don't want it to seem redundant or look cluttered,
conversely - i don't want new players missing out.
I was throwing around a few ideas for this the other day... I thought it might be easiest to create one thread that is pinned that has links to most of the information that players are looking for

Like:
Quests:
Location: Link
Location: Link
Location: Link

Gear:
NPCS:
Skills:
Etc:

This way we could unpin a few of the links from the top which would make it less cluttered and easier for people to find stuff that they are looking for.

IMHO it's a lil confusing with 2 sections that seem to cover the same topic (Game Related Questions + General Game Discussion)

Are you referring to the Board Index? If so, I agree.

So 'Preferences' becomes 'Options' [thumbs up], 'About/Help' becomes two buttons, 'Guide' and 'Credits'? I'm thinking more like (brackets indicate button edges):
[Continue Current Game]
[New Game][ Load ]
[ Options ][ Credits ]
[ Player's Guide ]
