Great job, I hate stickies as most people know, this consolidation (a ) looks tidier and is (b ) easier to find.

Nice one..

Thanks, Inactive. I'd always intended to consolidate the email sticky once the newness had worn off, but I figured I could roll everything up into an IDNetterpaedia while I was at it.

I'm still thinking about what, if anything I can do in General Computer Help - the four there are a bit disparate, and I split the NOD thread off from general software updates to meet RobMc's feelings about the NOD updates dominating everything else.

Have to say nice sticky, very informative. But I have noticed you have not put the support freephone number on the contact list.

That's because, officially, it's for sales not support. Of course, if you call from a mobile, it's often better to have a geographic number anyway.
