I see so many sticky posts in the watercooler that I always have to scroll before seeing the first 'real' post.
Can someone please remove the redundant stickies ? (in my view all except the call the cavalry 2016).

It's better to create a Sticky Subforum so that everyone can refer that Sticky Subforum instead of keeping stickies on each subforums to avoid this issue

I think this should become sticky
Never use Merged Cells in Excel
I see 8 sticky's? Not much scrolling there
I will take a look though
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
Regards
Ford
still relevant...
1. call in the cavalry
2. thanks for the help
3. uploading workbooks
4. how to become a guru
5. FAQ for CS
Maybe leave there...
6. Please mark solved
Probably no longer relevant...
7. EF fatal error
8. EF got attacked
2 'thanks for the help' move to 'Introduce yourself'
3. 'uploading workbooks' move to 'introduce yourself'
5. 'FAQ for CS' move to 'introduce yourself'
these are all 'introductions to the forum'.
4. How to become a Guru isn't relevant at all: can be removed or seen as a 'normal post'.

P.s.
But I personally do not find scrolling too difficult - , - I got a “wheel” in the middle of my Mouse. And I use it. I am a keen scroller, and so is the Wife..

not sure why these would need to be a sticky, they were discussions in the Suggestions forum, which is where they needed to be
They do on an iPad!

Hi Ford
Not sure why you need a sticky at the top of a Sub Forum to tell people that That Sub Forum Exists when they are there?? When someone visits me at home, and is in my home, I would not explain to him that I have a home and tell him where it is ?? ( Maybe it was useful somewhere else. But has no use where it is now, ( I think ?? - Sorry if I missed something in my logic there, I aint bin a Forum expert long ... Lol.. ) )
_...............................
Don’t worry about those links there , Ford..I posted that ages ago
_ - One of The issues was the Email Notification , ( which I see now from those much older Threads has been around Donkey’s years and no doubt will rear its ugly head again.).. BUT it has not been around for some time
_ - Another issue was that some people ( like yourself in the meantime ) have some access difficulties in some places ( usually there place
of work ). Like you those people use that time fruitfully elsewhere now and just come here when they can... So I guess that problemm has sort of been given up on by all it effected, like yourself
_...................
But no big issue at all there, I just mentioned them out of interest – Interesting that many problems have clearly have been around ages.
All good fun
Business as usual
This Forum is lots of .. Fun......
_..........
Thanks for all your efforts to keep us informed etc. We appreciate it, especially with your access problems.

Currently I often have to borrow someone’s small Notebook. I have to scroll to get to the first one !!!They do on an iPad!
But hey, who’s knocking us scrollers??
I was often referred to as a Scroller and a Gentlemen. ( or was it something completely different they called me, I forget now
It is what my right index finger is for. ( Or was that somethiing else ,
I am an avid scroller, good at it and proud of it. So is the wife, bless him
Scrolling is healthy. ( Like something else I will not mention , again )
I am a Scroller and proud of it
Stop getting at us scrollers
Lol Lol

At the risk of redundancy (as a teacher, my life) - we have a sticky problem here
Hey Doc, what's your wrong index finger for?
If I've helped you, please consider adding to my reputation - just click on the liitle star at the left.

Instead of reducing the stickies one has been added today.
How about one sticky post that provides links to all the others??? In other words, unstick them and link to them from a sticky post instead? Not that I am particularly perturbed by them ...
I had not considered the left Finger option, silly really , that has some potential I guess.
A sticky Forum , or those stickies incorporated into something like a Notice Board Sub Forum, with some routing there, at least initially , along the line of what Ali said could also be a possibility.
It could incorporate
_ Rules ,
_ lots of workarounds to get over the continuing never ending Forum problems, many of which members have very nicely presented in Threads in various places. ( Attachments, vanishing text on Editing, Long loading times, certain text crashing the software, things to avoid to being logged out frequently, etc.. etc... etc... The Forum has a “Fun” characteristic with many things “seemingly not working. – but some in the meantime are “circum navigable” – if that is the correct word..
_ Could also include a Thread giving very clear instructions on presenting a good Screenshot
Certainly some consolidation of many good efforts by Members at overcoming Forum problems could be useful somewhere.
_................
Some members have got in the habit of starting the day by looking at Unanswered Threads. One could possibly expect one could get into the habit of checking the “Notice Board” Forum at the start of the day, whilst performing a bit of Finger gymnastics to warm for the Keyboard Marathon, right Finger , then Left.... etc.
Alan - not sure what your message about scrolling was about. Perhaps you'd like to enlighten me? Scrolling doesn't bother me, even on the iPad, but it obviously bothers you. I was just trying to suggest a solution that might solve the problem for you.
See Post #13
I am a keen Scroller!
doesn't bother me at all
Thanks for supporting us Scrollers. All Power to us
EDIT: Just need to scroll back a bit Lol...

Never mind - it was what you typed when you kindly gave me some rep for one of my responses that I didn't quite understand!
Why isn't EF'management' reading this thread ?
Why don't they react to given feedback ?
Have they nothing to say on this topic ?
What version of Excel do they use ?
Agreed. These two threads have been unstickied.
All the rest serve the intended purpose of stickies. Thanks all.

I think the advertisement for commercial servicees should be as a 'sticky' in every subforum where visitors can ask questions.
I think every visitor of the water cooler is already aware of the commercial services this forum suggests to deliver.
I'll speak with management to see if a single sticky can be reflected in multiple forums. Good idea.
The Tech Team added this idea to their custom features wish list and let us know if they can find a way to provide access to a single sticky across multiple subforums.
But they should prioritize the redirecting to the malicious: 46.4.37.80
referring to
static.80.37.4.46.clients.your-server.de
