Stay at the top ...

 

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I figured out a new trick called "pinning" which will keep a topic "at the top" regardless of when the last post was made. Basically, the topic is "pinned" up top until a Moderator "unpins" it.

 

Uhhh I'll unpin it tomorrow morning at the latest, I promise.

Oh, yeah, thanks Mark, for the information and for giving me a good reason (ie excuse) to pin a topic.

Cool

I really like this site, so many tools!

yeah.. I just wish the last page and last post would show up first.. But let's not be greedy

Instead of "back to the top" that places a thread at the top of the forum's list by replying, pinning keeps a thread in the first position of the forum regardless of when someone last responded to it. So I suppose if there was some extremely important piece of information, it could be pinned to be held in the #1 spot even if nobody responded to it for months.

 

Personally, I think that would be silly to hold a piece of information in the #1 spot that long. It took me a long time to figure out what "pin" meant also and I promise not to abuse it, but I just wanted to give it a try.

 

Thanks,

Hi All,

 

Okay, I unpinned this topic and copied the phone numbers into "Links and Resources".

 

Thanks,

PJ,

 

Pinning is a great idea when you believe a topic is so important that you want to draw attention to it.... I think there will be new threads in the future that will deserve this feature. I"m glad you figured it out.
