Re: "Sticky" nodes

I think that I have not used any forum software that supports this "sticky nodes" concept and I find your description somewhat unclear.

Can you point at software that does this and/or clarify exactly how this would work? Specifically I am wondering how people would be encouraged to find the existing sticky nodes rather than creating new content...

"Sticky posts" are used in forums where the jumping off point is a list of the posts (like PM's nodes). The posts marked as sticky are usually always at the top of that list regardless of the ordering, presumably so they're more likely to be seen. Take a look at the Firebird forum on MozillaZine.

Hi. Sorry to give a non-Perl site example, but this is the one I know: PHP Builder forums Notice that Sticky nodes appear first. I know that the layout that we will or won't use for displaying sticky nodes is something to be discussed, but I think it would be great if PM have something like this. Today if you want to find a Perl editor, you have to walk through at least 9 nodes... my ($author_nickname, $author_email) = ("DaWolf","erabbott\@terra.com.br") if ($author_name eq "Er Galvão Abbott");	[reply]
