you're most welcome. :)

I like the look of the Collecting Help better now! :)

Done. :)

I'll do it. I already moved the Translations - I'm just going to go over the other threads there and see if there's other languages that can be added.

I'm at work right now, but I can do it when I get home - around 3 PM eastern time.

haha thanks, Michael. It seriously was!
So, I've taken into consideration all your ideas and began merging threads with others. There are still a few to do, but they will have to wait until next week unless someone else wants to take over?! Its the merging of #1 & 3 and #4 & 13.

{clap} Larisie {clap}

Thanks & Great job {thumb2} That was so annoying ;-) .

Hi Larisie :)

Good idea {up}

I removed/merged 3 threads. It should be fine now {up}

Fanmail 8)

[quote="Larisie"]
Here's the list of stickies:
1. How do I write to my favorite actor?
2. How To Preserve Your Autographs
3. Translations for Fanmail Requests
4. Where to buy US stamps?
5. U.S. Customs Forms For International Shipping
6. Getting To Know The Various Forms Of Autographs
7. Handwritten vs Typed
8. Autograph reference books of all collecting fields
9. Waiting Time
10. What do I have to send via-venue?
11. What is an IRC?
12. What is an SAE, an SASE and an SSAE?
13. What are the international postal prices?
14. What do I need to include in my envelope?
15. Tips on sending photos and SASE
16. Where can I get photos from to send?
17. What do autograph abbreviations mean?

Okay, so here are my thoughts... (I'll use the numbers beside the topics to keep things shorter)

I thought we could merge #11 & #12 into #17.
#15 could be merged with #14.
There seems to be a topic like #16 in the Autograph Collecting Discussion forum. I think it's better here though, so delete the other one?
#8 could be moved to the "Is my autograph authentic" forum.
Is #5 necessary?
I feel like there is already a #7 topic somewhere. Possibly the Autograph Collecting discussion forum?
Maybe we could change #4 to add other countries instead of it being solely for buying U.S. stamps as it's obvious people are looking to buy stamps for other countries as well.

I like your ideas. This is what I'd do:

Merge 1 & 3 Call it How do I write to my favorite Actor
Merge 6, 8, 11, 12, and 17 - call it Autographing Terms
Merge 4 and 13 - Call it Postage Prices and Places to Buy Them
Keep 2 and 9 as is. Not like anyone really reads #9 tho
Get Rid of: 7 as a sticky
Delete 5 all together - it's hardly ever used.

I think we can re-work the posts 4 and 13 and just use links to the websites of the different countries Postal Systems. It'd be easier to figure out that way since postage prices change so quickly, and that way, no one person or group of mods would have to constantly update one post here. We could direct people to the specific countries website and help figure out conversion rates.

I think in that post, we should post a link to www.xe.com which is currency exchange, and that way people can figure out how many stamps to use (if they're denominated stamps)

Hi Larisa!

That's actually pretty good idea to get rid of some stickies there. I agree with most of the changes you suggest, I personally think we could completely get rid of [i]Where to buy us stamps?[/i], or just merge it into [i]What are the international postal prizes?[/i] because it's the info of the same kind.
