Krazy Kajun Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Just wondering if some of those pinned posts have run their time. We have to scroll past a long line of pinned posts just to see new content. Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Kajun then add all the match schedules instead of using the provided forum ... sure doesn’t leave much room on one page for other SASS related posts .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Apparently, some of the pinned ROC clarifications need to be "re-pinned" pending SHB updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its for the good of the group then by all means. Just some pinned things just seem to remain longer than their contribution to the good of the group. My opinion and YMMV!

Kajun My mileage varies depending on how many times a "WtC?" question comes up that can be answered by directing the inquirer to a "pinned" post here on the Wire.

vidette Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 It seems to me several boards still have unnecessary and/or outdated pinned items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidette Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 For anyone that uses the free Chrome/Firefox Ad Block plugin, I wrote a filter to automatically remove pinned threads from any forum board on SASS Wire. Just add this to your Ad Block settings: forums.sassnet.com#?#li:-abp-has(> div > h4 > span > span > i.fa-thumb-tack) instructions: 1. Click the adblock icon in your browser 2. Click the gear icon for advanced settings 3. In the left navigation pane, click "Customize" 4. Under "manually edit your filters", click the red Edit button 5. Add the line above after the last entry in the text box 6. Click the save button 7. Refresh the forum - all pinned threads won't be shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidette Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 While we're on the topic of tips for making thread content more compact and legible, here are some other tips I personally like: 1) On a forum board, "mark site read". Helps me ignore threads I don't need to read. 2) In account settings -> Content View Behavior -> "take me to the latest comment". When enabled, you will go straight to the latest comment in a thread when you click on the thread title from the board. 3) turn off viewing other members signature blocks in post: in their signature block in any post they made, click the tiny gray x drop-down and select "hide all signatures" (confusingly, to re-enable this, you must go to your account settings -> Signature -> View signatures). Some people have massive signature blocks that force me to scroll a thousand times longer than I would have to if I could hide it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the change in setting, clicking on the thread title does take you to the first post. And also without changing the setting, clicking on the blue dot next to the post takes you to the first unread post in the thread. See the blue dot next to the title?

vidette Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yes, clicking the blue dot does take you to the first post. Easier to click a full title than a blue dot, no? I think you're wrong that clicking a thread title takes you to the first post without changing the setting. That has never been the case for me and certainly would make it nonsensical to have the setting if it wasn't needed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was already the default setting when you registred on the Wire. I definitely had to change this setting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Other than SASS business and ROC Clarifications, pinned posts are there because many of your fellow shooters asked for them to be pinned. Until now, nobody else has complained. If there are pinned posts you believe should be "unpinned" let us know, and we will take that into consideration.
