Stickies...

Not sure if this is to do with the forum software, or just an over abundance of stickies but can there be some reduction in stickies please.

At the moment my browser runs roughly at 1024x768 and when I look in some topics the first page of the screen is just stickies. Most of which are locked or never posted into. Of course I can maximise my browser but I'd rather not as I do have other stuff I need to see at the same time.

I understand that some of the stickied topics need to be there for people to read so they can't claim to have not seen rules etc, but some way to switch them off once you have read them/signed/something would be very handy.

Perhaps a "Read This First Thread" with all the important forum wide notices could be made instead of four separate threads. That would help cut the clutter straight away.

And why do we have non-English stickies in the English section? Surely they belong in their relevant language sections?

Still no need for French and German posts in the English forums... Just adds to the clutter...

Announcements are forum wide.

However, if these forums actually used proper forum software (IPB, Vbulletin, those are the 2 biggest and best) then they could control which forums announcements appear in.

Or even improper forum software that worked properly would be good. This is without a doubt the worst forums software that wasn't home made I have ever used.
