April 28: Stickythreads in Sub-forums!

Yes, you heard me correctly, you will now see sticky threads in top of subforums!

Right now the following individuals have the ability to pin threads to sub-forums:

Forum Mentors, Forum Member Leaders & Forum Key's!

We hope this helps you find more relevant content in the forums you love!!

Wooo, one of my suggestions has been implemented (though I guess I was not the only one who came up with it) :D

I've had a look around the forum, but haven't seen this in action yet - are the new stickies now going to take up some or all of those 3 lines that are shown in the overview of the (too many!) subforums? Or are they only shown once you click "See All Threads"? I think the latter would be better, because otherwise it'll be more difficult to find threads with recent replies. Alternatively, the number of subforums within each forum category could be reduced (many of them only have few posts and little activity) now that stickies could provide a similar function, and more posts could be shown in the overview...

Interesting idea to implement. I will reserve judgement though until I see how it works in action!

Let's hope that it isn't overused to the point where it has no point...

@Phthalo I think we can trust the forum mentors and forum member leaders on how use the forum functions. The persons who do have moderation powers on the forums was selected carefuly and are doing a very good job with the other functions, so i'm not worry about it.

Exciting update! And even more exciting to see what this ends up looking like in action. Thanks, Dev and Admin Teams!
