Change Request for Build Threads

[EricR]

For each “Build Thread” I’d like to see:
Single sticky post at top for current status/pics

Updatable by owner to act as kind of a current home page

Then the rest of the build thread goes on as usual
*just because sometimes I want to see status right now without taking time to catch up on the whole story that I’ve missed

I like this idea.

I have actually found how to do this.

From what I've read, a post in a thread can be moved to the top of the thread just by modifying the date on the post to be the earliest in the thread.
This forum post has a tool or XenForo plugin that will do exactly what you want.

Regarding whether it will work on this version of XenForo is another question but it would be cool to give folks the option to summarize their build threads or add a table of contents.

We may already have the plugin but it takes time to manually do it for each person. would be cool if it were a button available to the original poster but that requires dev-time...

I know what you’re talking about. I see it on some regular threads as well. The OP follows you even though you scroll through the pages.

Build Thread - 120g Craigslist tank restoration

Finally, I found a 120g for a used price $200. She’s the ugliest most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. I’m going to strip the two overflows, add a ghost overflow and oh so much more to get this one wet again. I decided to put my money towards reputable equipment, instead of the glass...
