Stickies

David I frequent quite a few forums having sponsored, moderated and advised quite a few....although I now only post on a few.

Please glance at the 'Snagging List' I think the multitude of deficiencies are already listed.

I promised myself that I would shut up some time ago...I think I need to take my own advice...even a PM system wouldn't help here!

PS. Never visited 'Caravan Talk'

There are currently five stickies in the CL section, all bar one I would say useful to members and CL owners. Keep the Late Availability, and the CLs with Full Services and the New CLs threads, they are of great interest to a vast number of members. Make the sticky about the Facebook group a no post thread with just a link to the a Facebook group, and finally I personally think the vote for your favourite CL is better in the News section, via the Magazine etc....

Agree regarding the Ask the Expert section, confuses a lot of people. Why not just stick it into the Technical section?

Do not find the number of stickies overwhelming, would prefer to see more effort being put into rectifying all the real problems with the forum.

Agree completely there PhilH.

Make the sticky about the Facebook group a no post thread with just a link to the a Facebook group,

tda, Is it just me but I can't see a sticky re the FB group. There are 5 CL stickies on my computer, New CLs, Serviced CLs, Late Availability, Open Invite, and the CL of the year, which I too don't think should be a sticky.

Personally, and in response to the OP, there are no stckies that are of any use to me. 

Doubtless some posters may use them .... or i hope they do.

I never see stickies on this forum.  I read the single listing of all posts but never the individual sections.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I appreciate that there are more pressing fixes needed on the forum but want to improve what's in my control to make the forum better for you (like the stickies). However, please be assured I will continue to chase fixes and ensure the snagging list is being regularly read and viewed by the IT department and Rochelle will continue to update. 

Your posts in this discussion and the emails I have also received has been very useful and thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I will review and make some changes in the next week or 2. 

Thanks Ro much appreciated

Personally I do not find stickies a problem, but I feel as if they should be information based rather than invites for discussion.  Where practical I would keep them closed for discussion.

What I did for the sticky listing Full Serviced pitches, is to keep it as a closed list with information and within the post point to places where Serviced pitches could be 'discussed'.  I have marked these discussions so that I 'follow' them, so should there be activity suggesting changes to the list, I am made aware of them and can then go back into the sticky and make the appropriate ammendments.  I have also left a contact email address on my profile page (specifically for CT purpose) where folk can also contact me to make suggested ammendments.  (I have the facility to delete this email address should it be subject to misuse as it is not my 'standard/ regular' email address.

I have amended/updated the sticky a few times already.  I guess time will tell as to its usefulness.
