Antea wrote:Thanks, it certainly helps (i didn't remember there was a thread for Sami music ). But still, maybe we should consider in making a sub-thread for grouping them or something, because there are not only some scarce threads, but a lot of them

Linguaphile wrote:Northern Saami is admittedly spread out in many threads, because it at one time had its own forum and so there were several threads created for it. There were threads for Inari Saami and Lule Saami back then too, but they got very easily buried among the threads for Northern Saami. Once the Uralic Forum had been created, the intention was basically for each Uralic language to have its own thread within it.
Linguaphile wrote:Would merging the Northern Saami posts into fewer threads help? That is the only thing I can think of, but again, the post h34 linked to also takes you to a listing of all of the Northern Saami posts, sort of like a directory of posts.
So each of the other Saamic (and other Uralic) languages has its own single, dedicated thread, but there is a directory of sorts to help you navigate among them. I think that makes a lot more sense to me than merging several languages together.

Yes, that would be a good idea, because I didn't see that thread at first.

There's no way to sticky an individual post, but if it would be really useful, I could split the thread at that post and sticky the new thread as well.Linguaphile wrote:If there is a way to click on a "Saamic" heading and see a list of Saami languages, that would be great.
AFAIK, that's not possible with the software this forum uses.

Also, it is somewhat tiring to need to peruse every one of the pages to track down them. Wouldn't it be imaginable to join them in a sub-string or something, regardless of whether it is inside the Uralic string?

I'm getting confused by this use of "string." It sounds like you're saying there are a lot of threads in the Uralic subforum.
The only way I think it's possible to join them together is to merge all the threads with the first post in the thread including links for the first post relevant to each Sami language. The Uralic languages subforum is currently probably one of the most active on UniLang, so I'm not sure that would be practical or at all convenient for people who actually post there (but I myself have never touched it, so I'm actually not the best person to make that judgment at all).
