Adam

can you make it possibel for us to do our own sticky's and announcements. I know on other boards you can. Could you do it as a trial and if it works ok then leave it up?

wots a sticky announcement??

[Helena]

lol a sticky is a post with a lickle spodge icon and an announcement is what adam uses to post when theres new news and stuff. It means the posts stay at the top and don;t work themselves down with the others until it is unstuck/changed to a normal post by the author. so if someone is putting up a post they feel is important and needs to be kept at the top they do it in a sticky or announcement format. When i did that petitin post today i was thinking it would be good to make it a sticky but we don;t have the authority at the moment. On other sites your allowed so wondered if adam would let us try it on here. I suppose the downside of them is that there is a risk of them staying up there for ages even after they're not very relevant anymore - if the author doesn;t bother to unstick them. But if adam pops on say once a week and unsticks any old ones then this should solve that problem.

I think its a good idea hels but a lot of people WOULD use it unnecessarily and then all the posts would be sticky.
I'd say no to this in the long run.

Sticky posts are good, but obviously have to be well managed so they don't get out if hand!

thats why i suggested a trial run. see how it goes and if they mess the place up then turn it off. it works on other boards and people don;t over use them or anything.

Definitely not a got a good Idea for everyone to use stickies like Mike said people there's at least afew people on the BB who would no doubt abuse the system, But it would be good if the fanfest organizer's could use them.
