Don’t you think there are to many stickies on this forum? It’s almost half the page. Could some of them be merged into a single message? eg a technical issues FAQ combining - Why is this website slow? - Search IDs expire too soon - FAQ - technical issues - please read this BEFORE posting a question - PLEASE READ - for those who are being logged out unexpectedly Posting guidelines FAQ which combines - : Beginner’s Guide to Glossary of Terms on Straight Dope Message Boards - FAQ - guidelines for posting at the SDMB Subscription FAQ combining - How to subscribe - Please be sure your email is up-to-date - SDMB registration agreement as of 12/5/2005 Do we even need a sticky telling us that the SDMB is switching to paid subscriptions anymore? It was years ago. Everyone still here knows it. Why not un-sticky it and let it fade away? ---

Hey, you’re right! Perhaps they can make a sticky out of this thread to warn others! Sorry, couldn’t resist. ---

Hear, hear! It’s a nuisance having to scroll right down the page to get to the first non-sticky. If we get many more of them they’re going to push all the other threads to Page 2. What about a heads-up notice at the top that all important stickies can be found at the foot of the page or something? Not ideal, I know, but there has to be a better solution than this. ---

It was done recently in Cafe Society, and it’s really great. ---

**Peter Morris** Didn’t you see the “stickie” at the top of the page that stated “_Don’t_ make any posts about stickies until you click on _this_ stickie” ? ---

I think that we should have an “All Sticky” forum. Set it up so that every thread automatically becomes a sticky, no matter who posts it. Hamster Killer Qu’est-ce que c’est?

We started working on it some months ago, and then it got put on hold for a variety of reasons (Real Life can be so intrusive.) I promise to take it up again in the next few weeks, thanks for the reminder.
