it just looks bizarre to have topic navigation diving up threads

Stickies are usually at the top, in any forums, i think its bizarre to have them underneath.

Why? They could just scroll down for it. 

The idea is for them to be at the top, so they are easily seen.

However a button to show/hide them does make sense and it will remember what you clicked.

how about that

I mean if that's your preference, it fixes it similarly, but would that hide those topics overall or just throw them back to the listing? 

It will hide them overall, which i guess could be a problem?

Cheery bye!

Maybe if I just put the sticky topics at the top of the list at all times instead of in a separate location?

Stickies are also usually rules, and maybe one dumping topic.

Why would I want to look at "To Do List", "SC Movie Nights", "SC Official Discord", and "Patreon" with every Index load though? 

If it's at the bottom it's there for reference, and it'd still be seen that way without cluttering the newer content.

If I want to see SC Movie Night when the night's coming up, but don't want to see stickies...

The "SC Official Discord", and "Patreon" seem important to me, first one is for new community members and the second one is for the site.

The other 2 are questionable.

 

I will add a favorites functionality for personal stickies in the future.

 

also this:

Couldn't there be a locked topic that lists all important ones in the OP to consolidate space? 

It's so cluttered and ugly now for something that isn't top-of-the-page important. Most forums stick to two stickies only, one for rules and another for something popular.

I guess that could work. Should I move the stickies to the normal list at the top? I think it might be better.

The page number being below the topics is mildly jarring.

v1.30.1

  • added an automatic block for a specific request that slowed the site down today, if the request is used too much. Should not affect the normal functionality in a negative way at all, but should fix timeout issues.

I will move it to be part of the normal index, but always at the top, unless someone has an objection by the end of tomorrow.

v1.30.11

  • additional fix to reduce timeout issues

 

but it seems that some, what i believe are phones, are bugged and are constantly asking for the index update, to see if new posts have been made. I have now blocked those requests entirely for the specific IPs that do it, so those users will not have an automatic update for now
Phones have an issue with cookies and cached data ive noticed.

 

I will have to redesign the automatic update altogether after the sticky topic is done.

Cheery bye!
