Although....it does brutally illustrate how often virtually every question is asked.....right?
The most frequently asked question:
"Has this question already been asked?"

Maybe a moderator or member can create a topic (index) that has links to all the stickies, like we have in other forums. Then it can be made an announcement and locked. Finally all the Stickies can be made normal topics. _________________ Glenn

You beat me to it, I was just about to post this on the "Site" forum:
To me, this is a huge regression in the usability of the forum.
I found it quite useful to be able to go to the front page of the forum and see the new posts. I'd then just click on one I'm interested in or I can help with.
Now you seem to be flooded with a huge list of sticky posts that takes up the first one and a half pages.
It's a subtle difference to have to do extra clicking to find the new posts, but why make it more difficult for most of the users to get to what they are looking for? Particularly on mobile, where the site navigation is not as good as on desktop, I might just stop looking at the forum until I'm home.
Would it not be much neater (and easier to read) to organize this long, unrelated list of stickies into a smaller set of them that contain a list of related links?
I for one would be happy to help with that. _________________ '79 Westy, P22 interior, FI 2.0 l Federal, GE engine (hydraulic lifters)

I completely 'get' wanting to keep the forum organized, I 'get' that folks should use the search feature, but in defense of those who ask easy questions:
Sometimes new folks don't know what language or words to use when searching seemingly obvious topics.
Sometimes it's difficult to wade through 60 pages of a thread to find the answer to a question, information overload.
I get that it's repetitive (I'm on other non-VW forums..) but noobs asking questions makes the forums go 'round. _________________ '78 Bus 2.0FI

Yup, add me to the "go away, stickies" ballot. They were annoying enough at a half-page. Perhaps there needs to be a separate forum for stickies. _________________ -Kent-

It was sticky hell, the entire first page and 3/4 of the second was just stickies, new posts began partway down page 2. It needed some Pimp my ride meme with Xhibit sayin "Yo, we heard ya'll likes yo self some stickies........" _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Dude your screen must be small. Mine only shows maybe the first top quarter as being stickies.
Maybe you have screen envy? _________________

Where has the huge list of stickies gone? I liked the new format, it stopped skills from padding his go fund me thread. _________________ .ssS! |
