    sticky

    I see so many sticky posts in the watercooler that I always have to scroll before seeing the first 'real' post.

    Can someone please remove the redundant stickies ? (in my view all except the call the cavalry 2016).

    Re: sticky

    It's better to create a Sticky Subforum so that everyone can refer that Sticky Subforum instead of keeping stickies on each subforums to avoid this issue


    If your problem is solved, then please mark the thread as SOLVED>>Above your first post>>Thread Tools>>

    Re: sticky

    I see 8 sticky's? Not much scrolling there

    I will take a look though
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: sticky

    2 'thanks for the help' move to 'Introduce yourself'
    3. 'uploading workbooks' move to 'introduce yourself'
    5. 'FAQ for CS' move to 'introduce yourself'

    these are all 'introductions to the forum'.

    4. How to become a Guru isn't relevant at all: can be removed or seen as a 'normal post'.

    Not sure why you need a sticky at the top of a Sub Forum to tell people that That Sub Forum Exists when they are there?? When someone visits me at home, and is in my home, I would not explain to him that I have a home and tell him where it is ?? ( Maybe it was useful somewhere else. But has no use where it is now, ( I think ?? - Sorry if I missed something in my logic there, I aint bin a Forum expert long ... Lol.. ) )

    Don’t worry about those links there , Ford..I posted that ages ago
    _ - One of The issues was the Email Notification , ( which I see now from those much older Threads has been around Donkey’s years and no doubt will rear its ugly head again.).. BUT it has not been around for some time – so don’t tempt fate on that one. Heaven forbid they try to fix it when it is not ( currently ) broke !!!

    _ - Another issue was that some people ( like yourself in the meantime ) have some access difficulties in some places ( usually there place
    of work ). Like you those people use that time fruitfully elsewhere now and just come here when they can... So I guess that problemm has sort of been given up on by all it effected, like yourself

    - I found two of them in the Water Colors.
    But no big issue at all there, I just mentioned them out of interest – Interesting that many problems have clearly have been around ages.

    Re: sticky

    How about one sticky post that provides links to all the others??? In other words, unstick them and link to them from a sticky post instead? Not that I am particularly perturbed by them ...

    Sticky Thoughts, Oh er Missus. Left Finger, then Right Finger

    I had not considered the left Finger option, silly really , that has some potential I guess.

    A sticky Forum , or those stickies incorporated into something like a Notice Board Sub Forum, with some routing there, at least initially , along the line of what Ali said could also be a possibility.

    It could incorporate
    _ Rules ,

    _ lots of workarounds to get over the continuing never ending Forum problems, many of which members have very nicely presented in Threads in various places. ( Attachments, vanishing text on Editing, Long loading times, certain text crashing the software, things to avoid to being logged out frequently, etc.. etc... etc... The Forum has a “Fun” characteristic with many things “seemingly not working. – but some in the meantime are “circum navigable” – if that is the correct word..

    _ Could also include a Thread giving very clear instructions on presenting a good Screenshot

    Certainly some consolidation of many good efforts by Members at overcoming Forum problems could be useful somewhere.

    _................
    Some members have got in the habit of starting the day by looking at Unanswered Threads. One could possibly expect one could get into the habit of checking the “Notice Board” Forum at the start of the day, whilst performing a bit of Finger gymnastics to warm for the Keyboard Marathon, right Finger , then Left.... etc.

    Re: sticky

    Alan - not sure what your message about scrolling was about. Perhaps you'd like to enlighten me? Scrolling doesn't bother me, even on the iPad, but it obviously bothers you. I was just trying to suggest a solution that might solve the problem for you.

    Why isn't EF'management' reading this thread ?
    Why don't they react to given feedback ?
    Have they nothing to say on this topic ?
    What version of Excel do they use ?

    Agreed. These two threads have been unstickied.

    All the rest serve the intended purpose of stickies. Thanks all.

    Re: sticky

    I think the advertisement for commercial servicees should be as a 'sticky' in every subforum where visitors can ask questions.
    I think every visitor of the water cooler is already aware of the commercial services this forum suggests to deliver.

    I'll speak with management to see if a single sticky can be reflected in multiple forums. Good idea.
