How will we know when the links contained in the one sticky have changed?

I was responding to Glad's reply, but the thread is closed. As a modified end dater, I'm only on page 1 about every ten days, so I'd need a way to see that something has changed when I get there

The dynamics of the comping board are completely different to most other sections of the forum and applying a solution in here where a problem did not exist appears at best unproductive.

In feedback a while ago there were complaints about the number of stickies on one of the boards which meant there were only a couple of new posts visible on the first page and posts by people looking for advice were quickly lost from view.
I think most of the stickied ones there were locked or rarely had posts added to them so putting them in one thread made some sense instead of just cutting the number of stickies.

The way the comping board is used there doesn't appear to be any reason to do it* especially for the regulars section where (I assume) people probably want the daily/weekly etc stickies easily visible as they have much more use than any of the non stickied threads in there.
I cannot see any advantage to it on the main comp board either unless there are people who comp by never looking past page one but it does make it even more likely than it already is that new users will fail to read comping guide etc.
In the IWIWIW section all but one stickie has been cast adrift.

On the plus side I suppose there will now be almost no limit to the number of stickied threads allowed although they will just be lost from open view in the one post.

(*apart from there probably being orders to do it)

Yes, BGs have been asked to leave only one sticky on each board, I'm still tweaking so the stickies will contain more links ie to the postal thread etc and if a new thread is posted someone will have to pm me to change the link

Thanks firefly.

I still don't understand why they have decided to completly mess up the Comps Board.

Not happy about it at all.

I would have been happier if we'd been consulted.

last night we were all a bit confused when the stickies disappeared & it got asked in site feedback so thought it was nice of her to inform us with whats happening,

Missing Stickies in the Comping Forum

I really dislike this change...especially in the dailies board, it just adds extra things to click and slows things down!

I find it a bit weird, but maybe I'll get used to it. I guess those who do dailies probably have a direct bookmark to the relevant thread, but the need to click through another thread to find it seems a bit longwinded and unnecessary to me.

It's nice this thread has been left unlocked though, so we can discuss it here. Like others have said, this forum uses stickies in a different way.
