Stickies

Post by redcon » Mon Mar 07, 2022 7:54 pm

So, why do we have no less than three historic bomber deployments (2019) as stickies, yet a major search operation is required to find the current 2022 deployment? Maybe the Mods could fix this?

True, those stickies could do with (re)moving. As per the current deployment, you have to scroll past it to get to 90% of the forum, so I don't see it as needing moving.

Not me, I have tabs permanently open for the places of interest. The proper place for a Fairford deployment is surely the Fairford page?

You'll only get the other side posting movements in the heads up/OTT section anyway.

And tbf I don't think thats the way the forum's intended to be used. The way I use it is check the mess, deployment section, OTT and Non uk OTT(who's bright idea was it to move that btw..), then the airbase sections that interest me and then General chat. Very rare to miss something that way!

Given the high number of sections, surely the best way to use the forum is via the "New Posts" page ?

I've removed them as stickies. It's a case of big forum things get missed. Not enough active mods also

Please could you tell me where I can view the information that the 'stickies' contained?
Many thanks, TM74

You can fins the bomber section here viewforum.php?f=440

Can't remember if you need to make 5 posts to enter the section along with the Heads Up section. Comment on a few photos and you should have access
