Stickies??
Is there any way to have more stickies at the top of the forum? I find myself searching for the same stuff over and over again and of course seeing the same posts multiple times...And just have an indicator on them showing whether we've read the new posts in that topic...Maybe even instead of stickies they could be perma-links on a side of the forum like on the left or right so we could immedately click: Of course we would still SEE these posts, but if there was an intro to the forum with a permalink bar it'd be easier to find the info...For example
Vitamins/Labs: How much, what kinds, best places to buy, best plans for us, lab goals and results
Why we chose DS: Stories of why we chose it, how we chose it and the path that's gotten us where we are
Insurance info: types of insurance, what was covered, how much you paid, how you applied for an appeal/won an appeal
Bites/Vites/Exercites: so we could just go and fill it out daily instead of floating posts?
Recipes/Foods/Snacks: Recipes and new foods that we've tried and liked and are DS friendly, including carb alternatives
Stall info/busters: Have you stalled, how long did you stall, how did you break a stall, how many stalls you've had
FLAUNT IT!/WOWS: Awesome moments and photos from progress and goals
DS Complications: Complications we've had post op the rare and not so rare, including "restroom" issues (lol), hair loss etc
I'm sure there are more but these are just some I've thought would be awesome to have a direct link toolbar within our own forum to them

I think this would be awesome! I bookmark anything i come across that i think i might use now or in the future but my bookmark pulldown menu is getting loonngg!!!

This is a very good idea! I would really like to see this implemented. It would be super helpful to everyone, especially people who are new to the boards. Great idea!

#1. Lots of info can be found at dsfacts.com, nicely written and organized by DS vets.
#2. There have been attempts made before to allow "stickies" on the DS forum, but the OH Gods have denied them. I don't recall the justification.
#3. The info I'm posting below was gotten by entering "stickies" in the text Search box at the top right of this page.
Someone could construct a spreadsheet with these links and an explanatory colums, and store it shared in Google Docs. The owner could accept additional suggestions and amend the spreadsheet. He/she or someone else could post daily (kinda like beemerbeeper does) and if the responsibilty needed to be transferred at some point, a new person could be recruited. Any volunteers?
