What do you guys want stickied?

Hey guys and gals,

One thing I have always wondered about for my fellow 6R owners is what kind I things you would want stickied? For those of you who don't know, the stickies are the things at the top of the forum list for quick and easy reference.

So, now that I can do that for you all, I would like some suggestions I what kind of topics you want stickied. For example, DIY guides, suspension options, braking guides and information, list of common replacement components, applicable service campaigns etc.

I will keep this thread open until Friday next week so you can all get in with your ideas

Also the why you can't do an alignment.

Don't do too many stickies as you will fill the first page with them.

Merge the Oil Usage threads.
Merge the "What did you pay" and "I've got one" threads.
Create a DIY Sticky with links to the threads in question.

Get rid of the Dealer Stock thread. If they have new stock they can start a new thread - it will drop down the pages as it ages. Otherwise it's not obvious of any change in a sticky.

I think we only need one mods / tuning thread as a sticky and it should link to the other threads, in that way the RNS one just becomes normal and is ref'd. Kind of how the KTM LC4 thread is on ADV if anyone knows that place.

Defo merge the oil register and problem threads to one or a linked list as well. that should also talk about the fixes applied and be sumarised perhaps?

Defo also remove the dealer stock, they can promote the cars in their own threads or bump that old one.

I always think forums should have max 5 stickied threads, else all the other posts are beneath the fold... but then i am an internet design purist and always like the newest stuff on top... i'll get me coat... LOL

as the post above also says, can we have an easier to spot 'new post' highlight on stickies?

At the risk of the ol' foot in both camps scenario
Maybe something along this line where there's a stickied main header, then choice of sub headers
Easier to find important stuff but only taking up one stickied line on first page?

If/when the Polo R comes out, hope no one starts a thread titled Polo R versus Polo GTI (translates mines better than yours)
cant believe a similar thread in other camp STILL holds pride of place on page one, after over 2,555 replies....amazing how many times you can keep flogging a dead horse!
