[quote author="Jamie Rumbelow" date="1263669444"]This is really helpful - thanks for posting it! I'm making it sticky so more people will hopefully read it

It's an interesting read, verily, but sticky threads really annoy the living cranola out of me - they are a bad answer to a problem that has a better solution.
Plus they tend to end up being full of pointless and irrelevant messages. Viz $this.
If there wasn't a wiki available for long-term storage of knowledge, sticky threads might make a bit more sense. But if every useful thread were to be stickied, you'd end up with several dozen pages in each forum's thread-list before you got to a thread with any kind of currency. Plus people seem to be unwilling to search using a button labelled 'search', or look in the FAQ / wiki - so it's a tough sell suggesting that people
will read through sticky threads before posting.
Just my 2c worth.
