Forum could benefit from "stickies"

jimolson

Peter, et. al.,

 

Does this forum's software have provisions to display what are known as "stickies" in other non-E14 internet forums?  A "sticky" is a topic or posting that has high importance to a lot of readers. 

Today was a slow day at the mines, so I was reading CircuitStudio postings from the past two years.  One posting from April 10, 2017 struck me as very important conceptually and a candidate for a "sticky":

There are two striking concepts in this posting.  One is the important distinction between CS' "Libraries" panel and its "Library" panel.  The former allows the user to peruse multiple libraries of various kinds (schematic symbol libraries or component footprint libraries).  The latter one allows the user to focus on the content of a single library.

The other striking concept in this posting is that the "Library" panel accepts schematic symbols and component footprints that are cut and pasted into it from a schematic or a lay-out.

  • Hi Jim. There is a featured content flag that keeps articles easily accessible but not sure forum users can set this flag.

     

    HERE'S AN IDEA -- EVERYONE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

    I will create a document specifically for important/interesting posts and it will be sticky in the featured content section. Anyone can suggest adding an old post in the comments to the document so we can build up a really useful list of the best hints & tips, questions & answers etc. I will add the document links into the main content body to provide a quick reference. Please give some feedback to see if this idea resonates with the community.
