Sticky Idea

Not sure if anyone is interested in this, but on the Detroit Board (my other home on the knot)-- they have a sticky at the top that everyone posts their vendors and costs while planning and then another sticky for reviews. This is VERY helpful on that board to see vendors being used and how they worked out for everyone. F 

Would this be something we'd be interested in? If so, NcsuPsych could you create these?

Here are the examples of the two Sticky threads we have on the Detroit board.

    Remember that the bride bio only includes positive reviews.  So if your vendor isn't listed, don't assume no one has used them or had any experience with them.  It may just mean that they received negative reviews and the bride bio site admin removed them from the list. 

    IDK that we need a sticky.  People come and ask questions, and we can easily answer them, or point to where they were answered recently.  Some of us have vendor reviews in our bios, and others are on the bride bio website.  Sometimes people come and ask about a specific vendor and we don't have much to offer, but that wouldn't change with a sticky.

    For the answer to that, you'll have to ask someone who administers the site.  I believe it has something to do with not wanting the site to be "vendor bashing" but I don't remember exactly how she put it.

    Is there any way that we could change the colors on the NC Bride Bio site? The black background with the white and hot pink writing isn't the easiest to read.
