As a general guideline, I’m not very keen on having too many sticky posts, or the idea of “this post has significant meaning”, well, loses meaning. :)
I agree and the more I thought about it I realized that:
The wiki really is the proper place for it, . . .
I don’t understand the aversion some have to using it . . .
For me it’s just the learning curse of the wiki syntax. I’m sure I’ll apprecaite it more once I understand it better.

Wiki syntax tends to scare people off but it’s really not any harder then textile. In fact a lot of it is quite similar, with links probably being the oddest part.
If you are ever unsure about how to do something just edit a section that is doing what you want to do and see how they did it. You will find it’s simpler then you thought.

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
I just want to let you know that while I am not the chattiest forum member, I still read most everything and am quite open to helping. Let me know if I can be of assistance, whether it be in-forum or out.

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
If you need a hand in Layout & CSS I’d be willing to help out. I’m too new to TXP (ie just learning) for the more Textpattern specific fora.

@Mary – I wasn’t sure where to ask this but how did I manage to turn into “Omega” overnight?

hi bombsite.
Mary has posted somewhere that custom titles for member have been removed to not confuse new users in forum, or something like that.

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
Ahaa! Though I haven’t seen that anywhere???
And aren’t people confused anyway? Isn’t that the reason for them being here? :)

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
What’s showing up is your user rank (1700+ posts), the highest available, in fact.

Well yes, I know that, I just wondered why my “special priviledges” had been removed. Not that I’m complaining. Well I am I suppose but I’m not going to argue the point. I just wondered about the reasoning behind it. C’est la vie. ;)

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
So now I’m back to “chi” and lost about 900 posts in the process. Not that I’m complaining as I am now in second place having managed to “jump” over zem who seems to have lost more than me. As I say, I’m not complaining, but what happened exactly?

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
Yeah weird; I used to have over 1600 posts, now I only have 568 posts. Cleaning house?

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
Oh dear, I had not noticed that. I lost several hundreds of post too – don’t know how many, but I did make it to upsilon… Nice to be a Forum Moderator, now no one will notice ;)
We also seem to have lost the posts count in the ‘post profile’ (don’t know how that is called officially).

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
I think they call that “the posts count in the ‘post profile’” Els. ;)

Really? Must have been my female intuition, ‘cause I don’t know anything about forums…
