Maybe we should have a pinned section.

and you think anybody would read that?

one problem with having too many pinned topics is that it means there's a lot for a the newbies (the people who need to read the stickies) to flick through

can't remember who came up with it last time but all pinned topics should just be linked to through sharedholder's Newbie FAQ

i demand a poll on the solution - add a little democracy to the place

i have to agree...make one section (the first one you come to) entirely read only, full of FAQ. make it clear in bold that ALL YOUR ANSWERS WILL BE HERE and people will look...well theyre more likely than they are to go through software world/about this forum/kazaa probs...just to get why they cant connect.

look around this section; it has by far the most Moved Threads. why is this? cos its at the top, so people see it more easily.

unpin all topics, make them read only, and move to their own section.

I agree it does seem very messy,but don't know what the solution is.

I also have the same opinion. There should be a read-only section with all the 'Guides' and 'How To'.
Most of the filesharing forums have one of these sections and they don't even have the huge ammount of members and active users this board has.

Just because u put all of your answers are here doesn't mean they will look. It sounds like a good idea but the board is fine the way it is

I have been to the suprnova board and just noticed that they have something like this, I think that looks pretty good and wouldnt be bad here either

have a look here and write what you think.

I think that that looks a great plan. The problem as i see it is that sometimes the correct place to post a question is a little ambiguous. It isn't always clear in which section a question should go, so people wont always see the pinned topics, cos they may go to the wrong forum to start with.

this thread should be pinned
