I was thinking that maybe we could sticky our own topics. Reason is because sometimes you may want to check on a certain topic every hour for example, Tournaments, Team requests and so on.

How the sticked topic would look like? Well firstly, It will only be visible to you to not confuse other users with their own sticked topics,next it will have an icon next to the topic telling you the it has been sticked

sticky.gif<--No not this icon as you do not want to confuse yourself with the topics that the moderators/admins have sticked. But possibly the icon may just be a recolour of this.

It will also have a short cut to that specific topic something similar to the latest activity and new topics short cut. But since they can only contain a short amount of topics (5 topics), it will have a button like the Go To WoN Startpage button which will allow you to go to an area to see all your sticked topics.

Also, you can remove topics that you have sticked by pressing the remove button(an X) next to the topic.

Although you can just bookmark that topic, or just simply go into that topic(which requires you to press the sections, sub-forums and probably go back pages), this is a great feature to have as it saves time and it is easier to check the topics frequently.

Edit And if you think about it, this will only require you to bookmark ONE page, yes One, and it is the sticked section. It will save space, save time, and prevent confusion.

I reckon bookmarking a page and just deleting the link when you're done is easier.

Pointless.

Read that last part

It would seem pointless but take note of this, would you want to bookmark every single topic you want? Do you know that bookmarking involves other things beside WoN.

If you think about it, this will only require you to bookmark ONE page, yes One, and it is the sticked section. It will save space, save time, and prevent confusion.

So you want the forums to record every topic each and every user wants to visit again? Methinks you're asking for a lot, perhaps just topic subscription type things would work better.

I thought it would be a great feature though, but yeah, it will take lots of work probably.

What about a limit like you can only sticky 5 topics at a time and anymore will overwrite the oldest one, or the topics sticked can only be sticked for a day or so.

I for one have always been an advocate for some kind of notification/subscription system. I think that would be very useful.

If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

No.
Just no.

You can bookmark the topic instead of complicating coders' lifes. If you think "well I have many bookmarks" then that's your problem. You can always create a Microsoft Word document with the link to topics you want.

This idea is, sorry to say, terrible.

Wouldn't it trivialize the point of mods stickying topics? They sticky it because it is either important or just very contributing to their eyes.

If the sticky basis just stickies very popular ones rather than those that are more contributing, then it would be a mess.

Yeah, the system you are talking about is subscriptions.

By having a subscription system, you'd get notifications on when someone posts and what not. I think it is a great system. I personally would love to see it, but at this time, the game's development outweighs the forum.

Great suggestion, one that will be kept in mind. I'll definitely bring this up to the administrators when they have more free time on their hands.
