Usually the stickies are only up for a short time to help keep the forum neat and tidy. Will let you know our decision.

The forums allow for sticky (top of where most posts are, like it is now), announcement (the special area at the top, which I prefer very limited use), and global announcements (only for notifications that eventually get removed, is in special area at top for all forums). There's unfortunately no "global sticky", that puts it in the same place as regular stickies, but on all forums.
Anyway.... my preference has ALWAYS been that anything that should be a consistent message, providing information and facts should be an article, and not buried in the forums in the first place.
We'll discuss and get back to you.

Maybe it would be beneficial to have a thread marked for Newbies that outlines some very general dos and dont's like this? Obviously not too in detail, as that would be an article, but just some big ones that can prevent any further beardie deaths.

Thhis thread is heartbreaking? i guess the pictures are a little graphic but the thread itself is quite informative. However i love the idea of a newbie thread that covers the important things about beardie care in one place. like talks about the simple do's and don'ts of feeding a dragon. Or even an article that links to other threads that explain them more.
example, do follow this nutrition chart when it comes to feeding your dragon, http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
Don't use loose substrates
don't put two dragons together,
do provide adequate space
do give baths
don't feed anything over the size of between your beardies eyes.
kind of illustrating a care sheet, but here with all the knowledge everyone on this forum has it would be the most accurate on the internet maybe

Oh gosh yes that thread is quite sad, its that tragedy that made me think about the fact that this information is so important and i don't understand why people don't see it.
