Please read: cutting down on Story Hour "announcements"

[Piratecat]

That's "no more than 2" on the front page, not 4, please. Thanks!

I'm sure the folks around here will have enough discipline to excercise the requested restraint... but just in case, I'm posting my idea anyway.

If you do make it only a single thread, you might consider naming it "$tory Hour Updates" and requesting that only story hour authors post to it. This has 3 advantages:

+ People won't have to read the thread when no actual update has happened.

+ The username on the browse column will tell you at a glance who has updated latest.

+ You can always find the thread on the first page by sorting on thread name.

As an alternative, would it be a good idea to keep a permananent sticky thread in the Story hour forum that people could post in to advertise their atest installments?

It wouldn't get quite as much traffic as one on the main boards, but it would most likely hit it's target audience...

Ooops. Now I wish I had seen this thread BEFORE I pimped my story hour in the general forum...

Well, I will be good now.

Try putting a link in your sig!

Um? How do you do that? I wanted to do that, but being both an internet weenie and storyhour neophyte...

dpdx, I don't think that can be changed. I will, however, suggest that you creat a hotmail account (or a Yahoo account) and point your subscribed threads towards that. That way, you just go in and periodically clean out the emails, and you can easily subscribe to as many as you like.

The one disadvantage in this is that you need to check it for normal emails as well.

Another idea: People could ask Story Hour authors to put them on a mailing list for update notifications.
