It's OP is useless as the thread is used merely for discussion no one sees the OP. We could make these threads useful if we could pin the OP somehow so that it's at the top of each page like they have it at Pakwheels.
But what benefit that will serve? we need to consider the rest of the sections as well.
This has been discussed with iNF3RN0 in the past, briefly. And we settled against this idea, because of HUGE (and heavy weight) OT threads of games, which could/would make the life miserable for users, if we DO implement it. Not only that, sometimes an OT is not required to be pinned, or simply should not be pinned because of unnecessary information ... or whatever.

I started to dislike the idea because of having no control over pinning the posts. If we choose to implement this system, we can't "choose" which posts we want to pin, and if we want to pin it at all.

However, we haven't discussed if its possible to implement it in specific sections, instead of implementing it all over the forum. Perhaps iNF3RN0 could tell us more.

Well maybe not for the entire OP but just new updates with someone dedicated enough to put up the latest happenings but it might be too much of a hassle. I like the latest events posted with the name of the thread more

I see. That changes things. Didn't know you couldn't control whether the OP is being pinned or not. I figured if it was possible to have the choice of pinning a post in a particular thread, that'd help the sports threads because that way you could update the EPL threads with weekly games and the transfer threads with daily updates and they'd be on top each day. Would make things easier for the sports sections, but that's just a tiny fraction of the total forum, plus it's primarily a gaming forum so gotta keep the gaming sections in mind.

So what I understand is that it's not possible to choose whether or not to pin an OP. Either it's all OP's in all threads pinned, or it's none pinned. Correct?

These are the possibilities and the limitations:

- You can't select just any post within the thread, only the first post (the OP) can be pinned (first post will be displayed on all the thread pages)
- It can be done on per section / forums basis.
- It can be done on a individual basis by the admins only I guess but I haven't tried it out so I am not sure whether it's possible or not (I have to check)

So that's it..if it's "really" required then let me know [MENTION=8060]abobobilly[/MENTION]

Well if it could be done section basis, I think all the threads in the Sports section can and will benefit from it. Whatcha think [MENTION=6068]Ottoman[/MENTION]. IMO having this around will change the threads massively. Someone responsible who can update each days fixtures along with the times would be great. There're a handful of people willing to take threads, about time they get some work to do to maintain these 'hot' threads too ;)

[MENTION=1]iNF3RN0[/MENTION] Can it done for a thread by thread basis in Sports Talk? Because I doubt every thread would require us to have the first post pinned.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
