MEGABOARD: Too many stickies!

Post by Knights Who Say Neve » Wed Nov 16, 2005 6:01 pm

The MEGABOARD starts out w/ about 20 stickies...too many.

In my opinion the MEGABOARD should filter out the stickies.

Othewise I'm diggin' it...

(edited to add the fact that I like the MEGABOARD quite a lot and would just like to request this change to make it even better!)

the only issue with no stickies is that those are important threads of info...so people who only use the megaboard will not be getting those...
thoughts?

Is it possible to only show the stickies when there has been a new post? I'm sure this has been considered and I'm just suggesting the impossible.

It seems like the megaboard is geared more towards "power users" who one can assume have already read the stickies. That being said, I can change it back.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. Only show the stickies when there is a new sticky? Then they wouldn't be stickies. They would just be regular posts.

I'm not really sure of the solution to this. There were definitely too many stickies before, but removing the stickies altogether has obvious disadvantages. There is no easy way to show just the "important" stickies.

No, I meant only show the stickies on the Megaboard when there has been a new post added to the existing stickies.

i think if we encourage a limited use of stickies, that they should be included in the megaboard. what do you guys think of that? but i guess there could still be 10+ stickies in the megaboard.
let's leave it sticky-free for now and see how it works out...

Thank you for the change, the MEGABOARD is easier to use now.

I like the idea of just having a sticky appear in the MEGABOARD when a new post is added to the sticky. If that isn't possible I would leave the MB as it is now, w/o stickies.

Agreed 500%.
