chasz Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 To use a drupal term "weight" as in lighter float to the top and not content significance ! although floating to the top makes it more significant. pinned topics should reorder according to weight weight of 0 of course reverts back to the general list ordering. and it should be ajaxed in with the other moderations options ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheddy Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think it works fine as it stands ... it's just an announcement. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieTang Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I don't really see a point to this, you really wouldn't need this unless you have a ton of stickies, and having too many stickies is generally something you should try to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasz Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 some announcements are greater than others, it's time to put the js listing in the ACP to the front but if u dont need then dont use, let other have the feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if only 10% of people want something then it's not worth adding just to please those 10%, this is something that I think would really be best left as a mod. I really don't think a lot of people need this, so I can't see IPS adding it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Craven Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I see no point either, just adds more calls to your backend, makes the site load heavier every time someone opens a page or makes a post. Generally there aren't as many pinned topics as there are regular posts, I don't see the point pinning lot's of topics, I think the most pinned topics I've ever seen per forum is around 5 and that's a lot imo.

Rheddy Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I agree. After you get past the first two or three announcements or stickies, then the forum becomes too jumbled and clunky. I don't know how it with everyone else, but most of my community doesn't like to scroll unnecessarily ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasz Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 then cut down on the number of topics per page !!! duh !! your stickies and announcements are important. If they are all jumbled up then the forum looks untidy. besides it added another granularity that can finetune your listing. BTW, where are you pulling this 10% ? from your backside? LOL just because you cant see a use for simple query that add hardly any resource burden but help moderators do things like bumping up a topic without making a reply !! stop ya whining LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then don't have a ton of announcements, if you avoid having a ton of announcements in each forum then there's really no need for them to have weight at all. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasz Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 its one extra table, thats used for all posts, and topics. plus an extra for the announcements i would guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
