Hi folks,

Started using UBB in 2002, and just upgraded (for the first time!) and published at www.RPDforums.net At present I am bronze...

I have two "image" forums - Seascapes and Landscapes for Scottish Sailors (Lassies.org.uk) and Scottish Hills and Mountains (SHaM.org.uk) I wanted to call it Scottish Hills and Glens, but www.SHaG.org.uk doesn't sound too good.

Anyway, I want to make some of the threads/topics "sticky", so that the newest weekly "Competition Image" is always first. Take a look at www.RPDforums.net to see what I mean. I obviously need to log-in as admin/mod/gmod and have this enabled, but can't see how to do this.

Rick, Rick, Rick, Rick & Rick have helped enormously with support, but thought I'd ask the forumites instead. Rick might answer first, or course!

Thanks.

Maybe wink

For some reason, which I can't remember why, we removed the ability to make a gallery post sticky. I'll kick this around with the others and if we can't see a reason why this is done we'll need to get that ability in for version 8.

I've done a Domain Name search, and most of the shag. ones are already taken; but I've registered shag.es

Any suggestions about what I could use it for? Preferably ones I could tell my mother about?

What about photos of seabirds? Aren't the cormorant and shag seabirds?

Define: Shag:
# a strong coarse tobacco that has been shredded
# a matted tangle of hair or fiber; "the dog's woolly shag"
# a fabric with long coarse nap; "he bought a shag rug"
# Carolina Shag is a six count partner dance done mostly to moderate tempo music (100-150 bpm). During the dance the upper body and hips hardly move as the legs do convoluted kicks and fancy footwork. ...
# Josh Agle (born August 31, 1962) is an American artist, better known by the nickname SHAG.
# A shag cut is a hairstyle that has been layered. The layers make the hair full around the crown, and the hair thins to fringes around the edges. The style has been popularized by various actresses, including Florence Henderson in the 1970s and in the early 2000s Meg Ryan.

So, we have a "smokeables" community (I'd imagine Cigars or Cigarettes), some sort of pet community, some sort of carpet lovers (hmm, mother comfort-ability questionable) community, some sort of music community, some sort of art community, some sort of... hair community...

Carolina Shag sounds the best - sadly, Rick will probably close this particular thread now.
