Sign up process improvements

I just signed up using another email account so I can test things using a unprivileged account.

Some parts of the sign up process are good (e.g. the email welcome from Rufus)

but after confirming my email account the first forum page I am sent to was…

I think it would be nice to land on the Categories page rather than the Top page… things would look more organised for a first time visitor.

I agree with @Stephen for the page for a first time visitor. The Categories page would be better for first time visitors to take off.

I would like to add that upon sign-up, new users cannot immediately post new topics. So far, this is quite frustrating for me, as I don’t even know what to do in order to gain that right…
