maybe put the lightbulb where the normal icon is for the thread (second column) and thus disregarding the normal icon (not much use anyways).

---

That would be much better.

Gaming Forums:
Half-sticking:

Well, it's always 50% probabilities

I don't really like the Knowledge Base form... That would imply the threads became closed and spam would be regarded there meven more strictly. While I still defend the Half-stuck-digest-page.

Oh, btw, I still think the posts should be regarded, because if you half-stick a 75-posts thread you'll have serious problems to find what was interesting about the topic and the reason for it to be half-stuck.

Or, well, instead of this: Why not a comment field nearby the halfstick button/action in order to paste in there a desription of what's relevant in the thread.

I think a knowledge base forum would be great, you could just go into it and find a topic, and link to it, then again, we could do that with the other threads anyway...

The comment idea is good, but wouldn't it mess up the interface, maybe a popup box like we have for the reputation and report.

Nah... Varchar(128) will be enough

Only half-stickers would see that, so I don't think it's really a matter of layout.

but i'm sure the 'half-stickers' wouldn't like the layout to be messy, so why not have a popup box for quicker and easier response..

So you think quick reply should go in a popup?

Nah, It's would be just a text input , a checkbox and a button below the quickreply, where the mod tools are placed. It won't mess it up at all.

Well MyBB has an option to Copy posts doesn't it?

Perhaps an extension of this to move Useful Posts from Threads elsewhere

Nah, posts are usually only useful in a senseful context. If it's an answer, you will need the question first.

Do you mean like this, cause if its here, then i'll take it back that it'll mess up the layout ... Either way, I won't see it...

Nope, this is my idea:

I like KeyStorm's idea

---

Yeah, I know. Disregarding the icon for even one thread seems kinda dodgy though. However, as I said, I'll do it if that's what people want.

Ok, the 75-post thread is a bad example, but it is true that in many threads often 1 or two posts are the important ones (sometimes on another page, or after "bad/wrong/incomplete" posts). And sometimes those posts are a resume what has been said in the thread with added things or something.

---

Maybe... maybe. I was hoping to keep it simple and just do it by thread. What if there are multiple useful posts within a thread? Like if one member answers a question, then another member provides some additional information?

The same is true for what I've already coded and am currently testing: a page that simply lists all the important threads. They'll show up on the list no matter what forum they're in, and even be organized by forum.
