to many sticky

[Azazel]

ok iv noticed that some of the forums are starting to have way to many sticks. and eventually there will be more an more. couple solutions that i had though of is to make a new forum dedicated to all the helpful threads or limit the number of stickies per page.

any one else agree. or am i on my own again :)

[erocker]

I agree. It's just a matter of what to unstick.

[magibeg]

Could probably do without a bunch of the stickies on the x800 and 9550 series. Those would be a little dated there. Perhaps we should put them under some sort of old stickies area.

[Azazel]

oh good, im not alone on this.

[Snake05]

I agree. Overclocking and cooling is the worst, with 9 of them sticky. Cases has 6, which I think at least 1 or 2 could go ($50 dollar desk?). The other ones seem fine though, just my opinion.

Forgot to check sub's. ATI is wayyy to crammed. I agree about the dated ones, I'd say stick with the 3000 series, and let the others fall back a little.

[Azazel]

AMD/ATI has 12 ^^ i think thats the most.

EDIT: NM

[Thermopylae_480]

I'll go through all the stickies as I get time today and remove some.

[Azazel]

cool thx :)

[spearman914]

I agree too. For example the Overclocking & Cooling has over 6 stickies. And some that have none. :(

[Thermopylae_480]

Which stickies in Overclocking and Cooling do you guys think aren't as necessary anymore?

I think they all are important in that section

Core 2 Duo Temperature Guide Updated March 24th, 2007
Also, only need one of the following
Overclocking is Easy! Get Results!/A Beginner's Guide to Overclocking

IMO we don't need so many guides. Even the AMD64 might be too specific...

[Azazel]

Core 2 Duo Temperature Guide Updated March 24th, 2007
The Unofficial guide for overclocking the AMD64 line

and one of these should be removed. they are basically the same thing
A Beginner's Guide to Overclocking
Overclocking is Easy! Get Results!

[spearman914]

I think they all are important in that section

That was what I was about to say. Maybe I should do like those: DIGGY DIGGY DOG SHIT YOU ARE NOT IT.
Repeat: DIGGY DIGGY DOG SHIT YOU ARE NOT IT.
Repeat: DIGGY DIGGY DOG SHIT YOU ARE NOT IT.

I don't think that would make sense :nutkick: :roll: :banghead: :rockout: :pimp: :slap:

[W1zzard]

maybe make a "list of stickies" thread of "archived stickies"

[panchoman]

move em to the tpu wiki..

[panchoman]

maybe make a "list of stickies" thread of "archived stickies"

can we have a stickies or important threads drop down or something like that?

[Azazel]

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA

[spearman914]

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA

Yea there should be a "hide" and "show" button for stickies instead of viewing all of them at a time.

[Snake05]

I agree with pancho. That would still leave everything in the correct thread section, but keeps them from crowding the tops of the lists.

[panchoman]

drawing up something right now.. please standby :)

[Azazel]

will do :p

[erocker]

maybe make a "list of stickies" thread of "archived stickies"

Cut and paste all into one thread?

[CrackerJack]

i would just create a sticky folder in each section, still easy to get.

ex: Hardware, Graphic Cards, ATI, Sticky Folder and all the unstick below that. just an idea

I do not understand this post.... Can someone elaborate?

[Azazel]

its kinda like eny meni miny mo method :p

[cdawall]

what about like XS does and a best of sub forum?

http://img.techpowerup.org/080429/Image1.png

[Azazel]

yes that would be good.as that means they all can stay

[panchoman]

http://img.techpowerup.org/080429/Capture343.gif folded...

folded:

really quick & crappy illustration but you get the point..

[PVTCaboose1337]

Yes, this helpful forum is a good idea.

[spearman914]

I do not understand this post.... Can someone elaborate?

Yea its kinda like eni meny miny mo. Kinda like when you play tag, people usually do that to consider who is "IT" and who are the runners.

[Azazel]

yes that would be pretty sweet.

[CrackerJack]

hate to double post:
but ya'll got the same idea as me ha ha


i would just create a sticky folder in each section, still easy to get.

Yes like just a regular windows XP folder icon. With a name below each folder saying hardware reviews, overclocking, Cooling, Motherboards , Database, Memory , Graphics Card, Games etc.....

[panchoman]

i dont think a subforum would be worth it to display a handful of threads

[spearman914]

How about a forum saying Stickie Threads. (Don't confuse it with subforums) And then a hide and show button for each stickie and theres a little bar saying the name of the thread (to get easy access to the thread you want to view) besides the hide and show button or... or group them into folders like CrackerJack said Hardware, ATI , Nvidia, Intel , AMD......

[CrackerJack]

even if it's just a hand full of threads. say 5 stickys well that 5 less in the main section. Like someone said before theres 12 in ATI, well that's almost the page. well for me. And plus in time there's going be more stickys

[PVTCaboose1337]

We can combine the stickies into a thread listing all the important threads, so we only have 1 stickie.

[panchoman]

i think a drop down or hide/unhide button would be loads more efficent.

[spearman914]

We can combine the stickies into a thread listing all the important threads, so we only have 1 stickie.

But it will be hard to find the thread you are looking for since most stickies are long.

OFF TOPIC: Is it true that posts cannot exceed 16,000 letters?

I can test that theory of 16000 characters right now...

[PVTCaboose1337]

EDIT: I just tried it here... it works over 16000 characters.

[spearman914]

Hey thanks for testing over 16000 by clicking one button at a time or did you copy and paste :roll: :laugh: :roll:

[PVTCaboose1337]

I went to MS word. Typed in a number sting, and copy and pasted it, until the letter could was over 16000.

[Kreij]

My suggestion is as such....

There are currently 5 sections to the forums. Hardware, Software, Other, TechPowerUp and "OUr Software".

I think that an additional sections called "Guides and Tutorials" should be added that contains two forums, Hardware and Software.

Put all of the stickies in the relevant forum. As far as the stickies in Other, who cares.
All relevant stickies falls under either hardware or software. With the new tags, it should be easy to find what you are looking for by keyword. We just have to manage the tags so that they are correct and not useless.

[erocker]

I like the idea of having an archive folder in each forum for useful but not current threads.

*The ATi subforum could really use one.:)

Can we see if someone will code them to the wiki?

At least the informative parts and put a discussion link like reviews?!?!

[DonInKansas]

A good idea; label it "Helpful Guides" or somesuch.

I don't like calling the area "Important Threads" because that seems a bit demeaning to the rest of them.

[Azazel]

the thread should me moderated as well. so only a moderator can add the guides. don't want to end up havin the same guide multiple times

[erocker]

Well, I think just naming it Archived threads would be fine. Plus, it would be meant only for stickies that aren't necessarily current anymore. Threads relative to current hardware could be stickied on the main forum as they are now.

[CrackerJack]

what do ya'll think of this? just something quick i did.


it kinda explains what i was talking about

[Azazel]

can you add a drop down list?

[CrackerJack]

can you add a drop down list?

I just did, i'm still playing with it. Just trying to find the best look for the site. :cool:

[Azazel]

oh thx. it wasn't there last time :p

[CrackerJack]

oh thx. it wasn't there last time :p

ok i got looking ok, I really like the drop down menu. Just one less page to upload. :D

go ahead check it again

[Azazel]

i think its good :) just have to see what the rest think :)

[CrackerJack]

Alright guys, i got it work out. Tell me what you think, any changes, colors, underlines and so so so.

It was Azazel idea to have to drop down menu, which i love.

Hopefully Wiz will like it?!?! :)

[HP_dudeman]

make a "helpful guide/post" only forum..where ALL stickies go there :)

[Azazel]

so any news

[niko084]

I think quite a few of the stickies should simply be placed into a single larger guide of some sorts, read here first type thing without being set under each invididual folder.

Moving the dated ones into a "old sticky" folder may not be a bad idea either.

[Azazel]

or just make a new topic (sticky it) and link all helpful topics...easiest way :p

[JC316]

Lol, I remember what happened the last time guides got moved *cough* Alec incindent *cough*

Feel free to un-stick the Unofficial guide to overclocking the AMD64 line. The only reason I even made it was because so many people were asking how to do it back in 06. Other guides have come along that have better information anyway.

The sciencemark thread could probably go too, PT hasn't updated the damn thing in ages.

The What CPU do you have could go too as it hasn't been updated in ages.
