Tweet Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 It is nice to have a few 'pinned threads' with a subject category but do you think we have a little too many on Page 1 ? Is it possible 'pinned threads' might have its own exclusive page leaving the associated 'Topics' with a full page 1 ? Just a thought. C.M

Just a thought. C.M I was thinking about this yesterday, and while the board doesn't support it, a personal pinned option might be nice. That way you could have vital topics to new users and information "permanently pinned" and the rest would be pinned based on your user settings. With the usage some of these topics get (eg the trade threads) they would come up at the top of the "recent" threads list often so new visitors would find them without to much effort and be able to pin them to their personal settings. this way users with only one HD format or console could happily not have space taken up by systems they do not have or have an interest in..

watmorej Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I agree I find that I'm always having to go to the second page to check threads even if I've just checked a thread, ridiculous.
betty boop Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 its fricken ridiculous really surely we can cull a few. or make up one sticky thread that links to others.
Hydrology Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Is there a way to change the number of threads you can show per page? I know some sites give you that ability. As my screen shows it there are more pinned threads than normal threads on the first page.
momaw Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 perhaps a single Disc trade thread, a single HD DVD thread, a single Blu-ray thread.........? Merge the existing ones. That's 3 pinned threads gone already.
betty boop Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 perhaps a single Disc trade thread, a single HD DVD thread, a single Blu-ray thread.........?Merge the existing ones. That's 3 pinned threads gone already. yes Perhaps we have three stickies which contain links..along the lines of the htfaq sticky 1. HD-DVD Links HD-DVD Title Trade Official Hd Dvd Owners Thread Official Hd Dvd Software Thread 2. Blu-ray Links Blu Ray Title Trade Blu-ray / Ps3 Enthusiast Thread Official Blu-ray Software Thread 3. Console Links the 'official' everything XBOX 360 thread Wii're Here! and maybe leave a 4th sticky 4. A Buyers Guide To Blu-ray And Hd Dvd thats 9 stickies down to 4. and nothign stopping people adding more links to interesting threads under any of the link stickies.
Felix.. Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Yeah far too many stickies. You often have to flick to page 2 of the forum just to read new posts. Incidentally I never asked for the "Wii're Here" thread to be pinned so I've definitely got no issues with it being removed. It was only intended to be a first impressions post about a cool new device. I must admit I find the "HD DVD Title Trade" and "Blu-ray Title Trade" stickies very useful though.

momaw Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I like the idea of a separate "trade/sale" thread that covers both formats and maybe even adds in games (better than getting ripped off by EB)
Gino Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Maybe it's a sign that this forum needs further subforums?

Guest EZYHD Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Yes far to many IMO, more so those with smaller screens having to scroll so much.
Skid_MacMarx Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I support the sticky structure, which both alebonau and momaw advocate.
Gutty Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Is there a way to change the number of threads you can show per page? Yep, "My controls" then "board settings". Can select up to 40 threads per page.
djOS Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I've PM'd* Tim requesting a Forum Split as proposed above. *Well actually got lazy so I just reported myself instead.
k00k1503559827 Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 There should be a totally seperate For Sale / Trade Section, which is then broken down into sub categories. Check out OCAU for a look at how they've set things up. Its the biggest forum in Australia. http://forums.overclockers.com.au/

absolutezero Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I think we should sticky this thread. I love sticky threads, they rule!
Cody Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 I support the sticky structure, which both alebonau and momaw advocate. i agree. there should be no more than 4.
Trigg Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Is there a way to change the number of threads you can show per page? I know some sites give you that ability. As my screen shows it there are more pinned threads than normal threads on the first page. You can adjust it. I have 30 threads on my first page when I log it. Its just a matter of adjusting your preferences.
