Default When stickies take up half a page...

... and you almost never click on any of them, maybe it's time to invent a new way to aggregate the important threads.

Stickies answer 60% of questions asked by new people.. browse the forum in general... not by specific groups and there will be no stickies

Or it's time for you to get a higher resolution display

I'm kidding with ya but a higher resolution display may help. Or Zoom out the page a bit. In this forum the stickies only take up the top 1/4 of the screen for me and I'm not on a 4k screen right now just my laptop screen.

Threads in the wrong forum, yea that might get annoying lol.

Kidding or not, totally agree w/higher resolution display. Once you go there, you can never go back lol.

I actually thought the same thing when I first joined...

I've built stickies threads on the other forums I am a part of. Then you only have one sticky link at the top, full of information in an easy to skim format.

For example: http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthr...Y-FAQ-and-More

Shoot, I completely missed that! It's at the very bottom of the stickied links... I just skim over all of those to get to the new threads.

Just out of curiosity, why are threads like "What did you do to your truck today" and "Show'em off" stickied? Maybe it's just me, but I've always considered stickies to be for information and a quick links for new members.
General conversation and picture threads get updated often enough, that they usually keep themselves on the first page without being stickied.
