We need sticky's of genus' in this section...

[Anansi]

title speaks for itself...please mods please!

 

[TroyMcClureOG82]

great idea!

 

[heering80]

Actually there's so many of them, that it might be better to start yeat another sub-forum for them.

 

[metallica]

i don't see the need for such a sticky. with the search function i can find just the right thread to post the pics in.

 

[xanadu1015]

I agree with metallica on that one.

I guess it would be ok for some of the more popular genus. Like the pokies, brachys, Avics .... ect.

 

[Vys]

To only make the 'popular' genus-threads sticky is hard because of the '''s, i.e, that is subjective, and to make all genus-threads sticky would surely cover all of the first page.
A sub-forum for only those..hmm..kind of a small rather static forum, in terms of threads..why not? If it is kind on the resources, I mean?

For those who have not done so yet, please read my recent STICKY on posting in this forum.

We're trying to better organize the Tarantula Pictures Forum, but it won't happen overnight. Eventually, all thread titles for genus or species photos will have the same format, as described in the guidelines. This will make finding the appropriate thread trivial, provided you can find the search button!

There's another easy way, too: The threads in an individual forum can be organized by data field, much like the file system in WindowsXP. So, if I click on the Tarantula Picture Forum, the default presentation will be by date posted, with the most recent at the top. Then if I go to where it says "Thread/Thread Starter" and click on "Thread," the threads will organize alphabetically. I can then click to the first letter of the genus in which I am interested--if I am looking for individual species threads--or I can click to the letter G, under which I will find a section of titles like "Genus A, Genus B, Genus C, etc." So there is really no need for a proliferation of stickies here.

Did that make sense?

That was all crazy talk.

Sure your not all hopped up on them goofballs?

Wes, some days you are the first thing to make me laugh!

 

[MilkmanWes]

There, I spent a few minutes with the search function, grep, and a spreadsheet and voila - The Appreciation Thread Directory! (dum dum da dum!) Not completely comprehensive, but for 10 minutes work I think it is pretty complete. Just a simple search and I reordered the results in a speadsheet.

I put all this together to demonstrate what ONE (1, uno, singular) search can yield. Now to make this a sticky use your bookmark or favorites function on your web browser. Or (and this is where we get crazy now) do an advanced search for Genus and/or Appreciation in the title and bookmark the results page. Whoa, bookmark the results page? YES! The search terms are in the URL and will be stored as part of the bookmark, then when you go to that bookmark, the same search will be performed again! Then you can see whats new at the top of the search because the default sort order is reverse chronoligical!

Remember, if you build a man a fire, you keep him warm for a night, but if you set a man on fire you keep him warm for the rest of his life.... or was that something to do with fish?

Wow, better go get me some more of the goofballs.

Positive. But where can I get some? And what are they?

 

[Rourke]

Aha!!!! My evil plan has worked!!! I knew I could get someone to collect these threads in one place, so I it would become easier for me to go through and amend the titles!

I guess that leaves me with little excuse to be slow about it, though, huh?

Thanks a LOT, Wes.

Pretty much yeah, amazing what them goofballs will do to you.

Just edit the Directory concurently so thread titles match if you dont mind.

No, it's like this...

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach him to fish and he'll never see his wife again.

And remember, there's a fine line between fishing and standing on a dock looking like a fool.

Your post was helpful Wes, thanks.
