Sticky: Too many Stickies

Closed

I can't actually see any topics besides stickies unless I scroll down. Maybe one thread which links to other important threads that is kept updated?

I suppose a lot of that stuff could go into the FAQ. Unfortunately not enough people read it.

Agreed, wish there could be a sidebar for the stickies.

Also agree, maybe a categories layout like on steamgamesales.com. Where all Stickies could be in an 'announcements' group.

So how did you manage to get down this far? Scrolling? How's yer hand?!

Your Problem: "I can't actually see any topics besides stickies unless I scroll down."
Reality of your problem: "Scrolling is too damn hard."

This thread isn't solely about issues, he offers a suggestion. "Maybe one thread which links to other important threads that is kept updated?" (the other half of the post).

That is only valid if the problem is really a problem in need of a solution. With further extrapolation, we could deduce that the easiest, simplest solution (which is the de facto "best" according to maxim) would be for the one with the problem to alter his habits.

I'm not really being an asshole, here...I have a huge amount of genuine respect for people that present their own possible solutions to problems that they have (when the solution itself isn't more ridiculous than the problem). Double that if they love donuts. But scrolling? As a problem? It sounded like he may as well have been complaining about having to turn pages in a book. In this case, his solution was for the website to alter itself. Not necessarily a bad solution...But certainly not necessary.

Get this and decrease the space between the posts. I see 17 threads without scrolling
But some sub-categories and a way to subscribe to threads would be great.

This is awesome, thanks. The addon always updates so often that I can't keep up, lol.

I have no idea what the vertical resolution is on your monitor, but whatever it is I sincerely pity you if it's that low.
I'd go crazy if I had so little vertical screen space.

1920x1080.

The screen vertical space before the first user post on this screen, is 700px. That's excluding browser chrome (not google chrome lol, the surrounding space the browser takes up) of about 100px and something like the start menu or any OS menus of around another 100px. Which adds up to nearly 900px of space, leaving, on a 1080p screen, 180px of new forum content. Sorry, but no matter how much vertical space you have, that's silly. But hey, most people have 2000px vertical resolution right? Which only leaves nearly 50% of content the average user ISN'T interested in. (Assuming they've read the stickies, and if they haven't, they probably won't)

Point taken, a few suggestions though. If your browser allows it, try configuring or reskinning the UI to use up less space, or enable the Windows taskbar to autohide that'll save a decent abmount of space by itself

I have the taskbar set to auto hide, and I'm using a very minimalist and slim UI skin for Opera and even on my laptop with a mind numbingly skimpy 1360x768 (Oh how I hate 16:9!) I can see one topic below the stickies and on my desktop (1920x1200) I can barely fit in 5 topics.

I have a resolution of 1680 x 1050. Less than you. And I don't do things full screen, I use window mode on EVERYTHING on my computer except tf2 and l4d2.

I see 2 threads under the stickies before I scroll down. If I go full screen I see 3 threads before scrolling

Also, those threads are all necessary. Hence why they are stickied. If there was one thread with links to those they would be easily ignored. But you can't ignore them as easily now can you? Otherwise we wouldn't have this thread.
