Sticky Threads

pelvis_3 · 04-09-2005, 11:18 AM

I was just searching the site looking for all the sticky threads and didnt turn up many results, so i was just wondering if there is any possibility of all the Sticky threads to have thier own section or something like that so they're easier to find?
This is just another of my crazy ideas and if it's a stupid one tell me please!
EDIT: also, all the stickies that i've read are great!

Sticky's are easy to find as they're always on top of other threads. Just look through the appropriate forum.

yeah i know that i just thought it might be cool to have them all together!

As Addis already pointed out, they're at the top of the section. Having a sticky at the tops of each section allow for certain section-specific to be addressed. Not everyone reads every forum, and if they didn't read the stickies forum and an important sticky was there, they'd miss out. If it's something major that affects the entire forum, then we'd use the announcement feature, but that's not always what we want.

Point taken Big B, i didnt think of it that way but thanks for the feedback anyway!

I see what you mean but having there own section isn't a good idea. But maybe a side bar, which lists all the sticky threads could work.

I will look to do something about it in the coming weeks.

I like you're idea Pelvis, sometimes it's nice just to have the option in place. Sometimes you could care less until it's actually implemented and then it seems pretty cool and useful.

Thanks Sniper, i never thought of a side bar, that would be equally as cool!
Thanks Ex, although i wont be losing any sleep over it if it doesn't get implemented
it might just be easier to find that 'all so valubale' information especially for newcomers!

another options is to convert them to articles, which was suggested by ThePenguinCometh! which is a pretty good idea. Though I'm not currently up to doing it.

Thats also a good idea, and i wouldnt be up to it either!
At my last count there was 13 Stickies, is that right?
