That's actually a pretty good idea.

The most I see is four. Isn't your suggestion a little bit overkill for the amount of sticky threads right now? Maybe it would be a good suggestion for popular or interesting threads in the future that we have much more content. Right now it's not that useful.

Great idea.

If it was a little more difficult to navigate the site, sure, this would be an excellent idea.
But it isn't. At any point here you're one click away from each board.

If a person can't be bothered doing something that simple, would they really go into a thread to go to another thread?

Good idea! We should have this archive pinned in every board, too.

Yeah, an archive could be made and pinned in this board for important info (or in News, but I think it's more appropriate in Septagon).

EDIT: I see what you're saying. Sort of like a stickyception, where important threads that would have been pinned are instead linked to inside the one thread. Eh. I don't know how I feel about that one. We don't have a pinned-thread problem, really.

Exactly my point up there. It's too early for such an idea.

This is not about easy navigation or being too lazy to check other boards, it is about freeing up space in each board for threads that actually need to be pinned.

Right, didn't get that from the OP.

Unfortunately this thread is now probably dead since nobody checks boards other than The Flood.

I'm probably in the few that always checks News and Sep7agon.
I don't use Serious or Gaming.

Then why do I see pinned threads being taken down and others put up quite often?

They run their course and are no longer needed. The music and art threads have been up there for a long time and I don't see them coming down any time soon.

We could do what B.Old did and make a side window for extra stickies.

It's been said that design choice will be avoided.

Unlikely. It wouldn't mesh well with mobile users at all. Even if it were moved above or below, the thread list would be tall and not very user friendly.

We could always have it for desktop users and conveniently have it disappear when someone uses mobile. That can be done with just CSS without touching the code itself.

Media queries are used throughout the site already, but doing what you suggest would be breaking the forum continuity a bit. I don't see that route as worth the trouble.

Actually, there's a side in design that prefers to cater for each platform individually and use their strengths, rather than give the same or or very similar experience in all platforms and deal with the weaknesses of each system and their differences. (The amount of work, and cuts to make things look good is pretty much the same anyway)

Yes, you're right; the mobile post/edit menu is proof of that. I just have issue with having an entire section of pinned topics disappear for mobile.

I'll consider adding a block at the top of each board that has a link to the important topics. This should suffice.

Maybe. I'll look into further ideas anyway.

It has been bothering me, and it's something I plan to tackle on the design stage of the next version. However, from a discussion earlier with Cheat (some week ago) it's quite realistic that pinned threads might be moved to the side for devices with a certain screen size.

Look at the pinned topics in Septagon again, and try to tell me how what I proposed is a bad idea.
