I've noticed that in the Help Forum for MP!L is getting really cluttered with a gazillion stickies...

Perhaps so many that people asking questions are just skipping all the stickies and just asking the question...

Maybe we should consolidate the amount of stickied threads??

You mean those 9 stickies?
If anything, there aren't enough imho...

Well not remove them, but like put them all in 1 thread...

I think people would read stickies even less in that case. Right now you can just quickly read the sticky thread titles to see if there's something related to your issue.

I think the SweetIM/SmileyCentral one needs changing

For starters there's now a LOT more programs that are incompatible and cause problems

And also people weren't always realising that they had them installed.....a new thread really needs creating with information and with the title  "Read if your Messenger Plus! Live disappears after restart"

I can do it if you want?  I seem to spend half my time typing out to people the list of incompatible programs!

Also, I can then maintain it as and when others are discovered/solved

Day in day out people report threads because they go off topic. Now you want to put several informative threads with totaly different topics into 1? Very bad idea imho...

Let's just hope that the new thread isn't going to be filled up with random/very vague descriptions of problems like "Plus! doesn't work" or "I did everything and it still doesn't work"..... and then people forget to read all the previous posts and start repeating stuff... like in so many other threads...

Maybe request a lock to prevent that (and request a temporary quick unlock when you need updating)...

Yeah, good plan, i was going to do that

Not needed. There are several threads that I've had sticked and locked which I can edit all the time. It's just a quick hack for wdz, and you can edit that specific locked thread as much as you see fit .

Didn't know that...chrono said it couldn't be done!

I'll PM WDZ

didn't know it either...

dodgy WDZ , yet, very cool 'hack'
(possibly done because they got tired of unlocking/locking each time someone wanted to update, lol )
