hi scott ^-^,i got a suggestion

as forum grows many important guides and threads are being made, and they are usually set to sticky to make it easy for people to see them , but as u probably have noticed in some sections of forum(specially quest section) there are lot of sticky threads, and if this goes on like this, the whole page 1 , might be filled with sticky threads xD so how about introducing levels of important threads? for eg

New threads =>as it is now blue color rectangle on left can be used to show New threads

Primary sticky threads=>they are sticky, and little rectangle on left of thread name can be set to eg Red color or change the color of thread name.This level is for super important threads like eg "ERRORS IN DATABASE" thread

Secondary threads=> this category can include commonly used threads which are useful , but not as important as primary ones,for eg quest guides etc.... for eg those of my human pet guides u can set them to this since there are many of them stickied in quest section and forum doesn't look very good with so many sticky. These threads are not sticky actually but they are marked in a way so that easy to find, for eg
they have thread name in another color like green(any any color u like xD hehe) and rectangle on left side also with another color

Other types=> for now i think categories given above is fine, but as the forum grows may be u can add tertiary threads also ....^-^

hope u all like the suggestion ^^

great idea dotnet! i did notice that there are a few too many stickies in there. I think I'm going to change the number of posts displayed. how many do you think i should put per page for posts or topics?

i'll work on some kind of color scheme, too.

seems now its 30 threads per page(if i count correct xD lol) with this font size(i do like the font size as it is now) too many threads per page may not look good to eye ,hmm so how about 50 threads per page? how does it looks?

how about just sort out the whole section in normal order(so stickied does not come first), and make a new button, says "stickied only", and if you press it, only the stickied topic in the section you are looking at will show up?

Or make a new search function that searches just stickied topics?
