Those two Snooks threads now seem to be attracting few readers and fewer new posts.
Time to unpin?

Why do they need pinning? If they're popular enough they'll stay at the top on merit.

Just to clarify....
The RB thread has still had over 500 odd views in the last 24 hours, more than the vast majority of other posts. The gallery has had over 250 views today. Whether you think so, or not, it's still a popular topic
The other one is promoting this months content in the magazine which is relevant for this month, so why shouldn't it be a sticky?

Perhaps this one should be pinned for a time when unpinning is appropriate?

Unfortunately this forum doesn't work like that, topics remain in chronological order from the time/date they were posted...At least they do on my system
Actually just thought about this....and if topics did work on the most popular at the top, one would probably have to wade though 4 pages of anchoring, flag etiquette, and colregs posts to get to anything new /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[/ QUOTE ] Flaming evidently has his viewing options set to "sort threads by most recent response" (or somesuch) rather than "sort threads by date". As you point out, there isn't an option to sort threads by popularity.

Yes, set to most recent post at the top.
Is that not the norm?

I can't remember what the default setting are, but in your user options/display prefs you can decide to sort topics by last thread posed or creation date

Mine too, except those effing pinned threads cause my eye to trip up each time.
And the 'etiquette' thread has managed more views and more replies than the video advertisement, without the dubious benefit of being pinned.
BTW, I though Dan ran the fora, not Snooksie.

The pinned threads are taking up less space than the threads about the pinned threads at the moment! We use these sparingly but want to promote content that is of interest and these are attracting views, whether people choose to comment on them positively or not.
I appreciate that the pins are unpopular with a few so we'll be sparing with their use in future...
Cheers,
Dan
