I'm aware that this forum is linked to a news group/mailing list but for web appearance and usability, why there are no (sub)categories for forum groups used for web only?

I think that the learn group would benefit from some pre-defined categories. When I first came to this community I really wondered why there are none?

Also, there should be an option to pin a thread for such more or less common questions that are already answered (like this maybe) or some topics that "should be really mentioned in the manual". I usually cancel about page 6 if I couldn't find a likely captioned topic in the search.

This would also honor all the members that are eager to please with code examples, detailed instructions and so on.

• Categories are one time thing and can be rolled out and approved by the maintainers.

• Pinning a thread should be possible by simple voting for it (like the star feature in github, for example) if the community thinks that could be very informative to (new) users.

• If someone doesn't use the web forum it should be possible to vote via a keyworded message from their preferred client software.

• The pinned threads should be visible as small bar in each forum/category that can be expanded by interest.

• Searching for pinned threads only should be possible.

• The forum software should order pinned threads after creation time and access count and only load top topics at default with the possibility to show more
