Announcements Folder

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Jaclyn - when you make a new announcement could you move it to the top of the threads in the folder? This is hidden from the main page and surely should be the most important at the present time.

Yes please!

And since we're talking about the Announcements Folder: can all non-announcement requests that are posted in this folder please be moved to a different folder by a moderator?

+1 and +1

Until I saw this thread, I had no idea that there was a new announcement. I assumed that anything new would show in the first 7 posts.

The "Policies & Practices" folder has the same issues: Too many "stickied" threads (10) hide the new and updated items on the Home and Discussions view. Plus the non-Policies-&-Practices threads that could be moved elsewhere by a moderator.

Yep. Those should probably be "unstickied" too.

Agreed.

Plus the 'A Very Big Thank You' thread in Announcements could be unstickied now. :)

Probably a lot of general housekeeping needs doing. I'm guessing with everything else that's gone on in the last few months that Jaclyn feels a bit overwhelmed. Hopefully things will settle down so that she can take a breath, look around, and make the group her own.

Yes, indeed. Jaclyn, a huge thank you for everything you do!

I'll take a look and do some housecleaning later this week. Thanks for letting me know, and for the understanding! 😊❤

Bump, as there are again several non-announcement threads in the Announcements folder.

The Announcements folder has a ridiculous bug that shows the wrong number of posts. It was -1 for quite a while, but today it says "7 of 6 topics" -- LOL.

The bigger problem is that the Announcements folder doesn't explain what is / is not appropriate for the folder. There should be a sticky post at the top with this information. Same goes for other folders with ambiguous names, like Questions and general and Requests for Superlibrarians. Because non-librarians and infrequent visitors have no way of knowing what belongs in these folders.
