    Wink Sticky in General Discussions

    ...telling those who don't know that post counts don't count in that forum? I'm seeing spattered threads about that, it may be useful to know and less annoying to everyone else.

    Actually, that would be even better. People would be more likely to read that than a sticky.

    Yeah, I agree too.
    It needs to be put somewhere on general discussions that posts do not count.

    If so, then I'd prefer a sticky.

    As for putting it in the description, I doubt that will work. Take the Ads and Offers forum description.....is this too hard to understand?

    Ads & Offers

    Special offers and ads. One thread per week allowed.

    That is all that is there, yet some people still post 2 or three in a week. It is also mentioned in the sticky. Same in the web Hosting Offers forum.

    It won't matter what is implemented, people will still ask why post counts aren't rising when they post on General discussions. So I guess the best thing is to smile and answer them politely

    Or put an irritating notice on top of the page...




    Anyway a description is better than nothing.


    Also I don't see much threads about the post count.

    Those sticky threads do absolutely nothing, no newbies read them and frequent members post pages and pages of conversation (and discouraging newbies to read them even more). So there's no point in making any more of those stickies.
    In all that we are losing
    Aren't we just confusing
    Youth with beauty?
    Truth with duty?

    See... the problem with Stickys is that they are different to normal threads, if you made them look like all other threads (ie, by getting rid of the "Sticky:" bit) but still kept them on top of the other threads more people would click on them.

    You know, we could have a sticky...close it right away, so people can't reply to it...and give it a noticeable title. like "READ OR DIE!!!!"
