The Outlander forum now has 18 stickys! I did a quick glance and the most in any other subforum i saw as 5.

No doubt there's some great information there, but when you label everything as important, the truly important can be obstructed. Suggestions for which ones to remove?

 

remove the outlander section?

 

Pick some you think should be removed, tell me why, and I'll remove them.

I could only find one worthy of removing, the rest are pretty damn useful. If you can think of some that should be combined, let me know.

 

I think the problem, if one can even call it that, is that there is only one Outlander forum with no sub-forums, so all possible subjects of conversation have to take place in one forum, for all years, which is quite a restriction. Compare this forum to the main page of the Honda Accord Forum (where I've been a member since 2006) and take note the number of sub-forums:
Honda Accord Forum - Honda Accord Enthusiast Forums - Powered by vBulletin

Of course the Outlander has not been around for that long in N America, but, nevertheless, there are just as many things to talk about with our Outlanders as there are with the venerable Accord. That being the case, I think the Outlander forum is remarkably compact as far as stickies goes. In fact, as long as there are no sub-forums, I'd like to see a few more stickies devoted to timing belt change, brake pad and rotor replacement, CV axle replacement, etc. Of course we have the service manuals available, but there is nothing like the experience of owners, with accompanying photos, to make these tasks much easier.

All things considered, I think this is a great web site!

 

That, I have no control over.

 

The issue for me is not so much the fact that there's a lot of stickies, it's that they are persistent across sub-pages; is there any way to get them to only show up when you are on "page 1"?

 

Good idea.

 

Great point, though there are plenty of cross over between the generations so there would probably be a whole lot of duplication. Im not at all arguing that the information is useless, rather that some of it is used so infrequently the search function should be used.

If we can do this it would be a great start!

I have the ability to do none of the above.

If I did, I'd have done it 5 years ago.
