Discussions hard to follow

I realize that i can follow discussions and then choose to only show the discussions I am following but it strikes me that some discussions should be stickied to the top of the discussion list to make them readily accessible, specifically ones that have useful links for resources and ones with common questions that end up being answered again and again. Does anyone know if there are any plans to do this?

My understanding is that the technology is not available for discussion "stickies."

But there are good sources for information about the site (the first 2 have links at bottom of page):

1) the Geni Wiki - http://wiki.geni.com/index.php/Main_Page look around.
2) The Geni help-desk - http://help.geni.com/ with many typical questions and answers
3) The Geni help project - http://www.geni.com/projects/Geni-Help just post your question as a discussion there.
4) Ask a Curator - http://www.geni.com/discussions/80793

Rolana,
Noah DID say they do plan to continue enhancing these Discussions. I THINK he mentioned adding "sticky" discussions.

I realize it may be cumbersome, but I DO have a folder of bookmarks for Discussions that interest me.

And "search" discussions has been implemented so recently, haven't even used yet. Bet it works very well though.

Where is the search discussion option?

Search box, quite subtle, upper right hand corner *under* the blue banner "search name."

Same thing implemented in "Projects."

Or just bookmark the URLs:

http://www.geni.com/discussions/search
http://www.geni.com/projects/search

Erica you may have a different UI. While the URL takes me there, I can't see it from the discussions.

I take that back. I can see it, but only from the top level of discussions, which is a shame.

But cool that I can now search projects and discussions.
