Req: Sticky running release history

[FredThompson]

Is there a way to make a sticky post for this forum which would have a single line entry for each new filter release? AFAICT, there is no single-source location to get information about updated/new filters. This wouldn't be one post per release, it would be a descending date list, sort of a running history thread with date and link to latest release for each filter as they come out.

get it at www.avisynth.info :)

Ick...cluttered and Japanese. Better than nothing. At least it doesn't have floating manga ad windows. Poor design for a running log, too. I was thinking about something more akin to the compact list at videohelp.

IMO,
It is useful to have some sticky with the list (with links and smallest comments) to the some most important forum's threads.

[FredThompson]

This is true. It could still fit on one line:

YYYY-MM-DD filtername link (full URL hidden) comments

I'm an old fart. Richard's suggestion didn't make sense to me. Looks like a time-based change report but how to force it? Bah! My best friend knows the guys who started the whole wiki thing. Me, I hate wikis, they turn into unmoderated babble too easily. (hence the reason Wikipedia has "pro" editors...)

I talk not only about specific filters discussions, but mostly about some gereral topics. There too many new similar threads like "how to remove blocks?", etc.

JMTCW - I was thinking earlier today that one of the advantages of Doom9 is that there are in fact a large number of threads but that each thread is by and large quite short.

There is a tendency to quote RTFM or RTFT at people who ask a question, but when the thread is 100's of posts long, and the first few hundred describe problems and features of long obsolete versions, it is very hard to extract relevant data for people who have not been here all along.

Whereas currently a search on Doom9 mostly reveals threads that are quite short, and the recent ones relate to the current software and codec/filter of the moment. It is also usually possible the way things are to find relevant threads easily and to discount quickly the irrelevant ones owing to the fact that they are short and topic focused.
