When I subscribe a thread and it gets merged, the thread gets kicked off my subcription list. Is this suppose to happen? How can I prevent it?

I am not sure if that is supposed to happen, my guess would be that since that thread technically no longer exists it makes sense. I can only suggest that re-subscribe to the new thread. Possibly another Mod will have a better answer

Threads need to be merged.

Also, when am I going to get off MOD?

the first has been done, the second is under discussion

User titles are currently set in stone -- no changing or deactivating. It's part of the decoration.

I think it's time for a makeover.

I view it the same as having an avatar you couldn't change or having the line 'Season 9 is great' under your name . Or for those that like S9 having 'Season 9 is terrible' under their name.

But on the other hand, I can understand how hard it can be to change certain things especially with software you didn't create. May I just suggest that this option is put in the file for the next time a major change is contemplated.

Thanks for all your hard work keeping this forun running.

I think it's inevitable that we make a change to the user title ladder. Based on some suggestions I've seen here I'm thinking that one day we will incorporate some sort of "guild" system using vBulletin's public usergroups, and each will have its own promotions ladder: Goa'uld, Ori, Wraith, Earth Military, etc.

Sci Fi Wire publishes ratings for new episodes two or three weeks after they air. We previously had another source to get them sooner, which unfortunately has dried up.

So Darren. *poke poke* Is the Ask Joe thread gonna stay sticky forever, or is it gonna be allowed to sink now that Joe's... on hiatus?

I like that idea. Good way to start using the groups.

We'll unsticky it eventually. Right now a lot of the latest Q&A in there is still fairly current.

So was the stuff in Martin's thread, but I thought it was un-stickied almost immediately. But hey, whatever. Joe's a living god and Martin's just some schmuck who writes stuff, right?

[Madeleine]

Martin's thread was one of four or five stickies at the time. Joe's is now one of only two. I think two is the max number of stickies we like to have in any of the fast-moving sections, unless we can't avoid it.

Ok, I don't want to seem ungrateful, since technically this means I won, but why did the "last person to reply WINS" thread get locked?
