I've said it before: I'll never understand people's obsession with stickies. They clutter up forums, make them visually unappealing and difficult to read. As you noted, they grow long and unwieldy, making their use questionable. And what is the solution offered every time? Make another sticky. Months later, we have the same problem again, but with 12 stickies this time. We have a search function that can get you any and all information with the click of a button. I suggest using that instead.

I'm not trying to sound mean, but I've already told you I wasn't going to do it. However, I will be pulling down Fix My SH5 after we get word one way or another. Regarding the other threads, they were stickied because the owner of this website wanted them there. I won't be touching them.
yes, but the anwsers will be specific, and using that search button is about the most time consuming thing you can do. the search gives you a bunch of useless posts or threads and you have to dig for so long by the time your done youll be a certified archeologist. and with all due respect i dont think 1 more sticky will make this site any less appealing. i know other people also ask for stickys but i think that the People in the forums should also have a say in whether or not a thread gets stickied for if enough people agree, the benefits will significantly outweigh the VERY low (in my opinion) cost. at least its not another screenshot or sticky that tells you about a book. it a thread with the idea of helping people and cutting the need for the same question being asked over and over. and its specific in the content so that people wont have to sift very long. the compilation of different sightings would make the awnser less hard to find and SOOOO much more helpful.
however, this is only my stance.
