Two questions for you, my kind and patient readers, because I'm not all that familiar with DW yet and how to find out if issues have already been talked about. I wouldn't want to ask about/suggest these things in the suggestions comm if they've already been addressed. (Or if that would be the wrong place to bring them up? I don't know! D:)
1) It appears that the nifty ability to use google analytics with one's DW journal doesn't work with communities. I'd find it more useful for comms than for personal journals. Anyone know if the issue of why it's not available for comms has been addressed or how I could find out if it's been addressed?
2)Sticky posts! What! It seems that the DW-specific layouts don't have built-in sticky posts! I wanted to put a sticky post on my fic journal, and since it's a comm, I can't just backdate the entry and set it in the future to make it stick at the top! Anyone know if the issue has been addressed or how I could find out if it's been addressed?

2) No idea-- I'd guess that this has more to do with the people making the layouts than anything else, but it's something you might want to bring up as something people want. I know that one of the features that DW wants to implement at some point is a sticky-post replacement type thing, but I have no idea whether it'd apply to communities or when it'll be implemented, seeing as they seem to have a pretty full schedule at the moment.

IN GENERAL, DW people have been really nice and understanding to me getting things wrong and bringing things up, so I don't think it'd hurt to say something. The worst you'll get is a "that feature isn't available" which… isn't any worse than it being there and you not being able to use it because you don't know how. \o/ And I think you'd get a lot of people expressing their interest, which would help get it into sight.

I suppose I'll leave a note on the suggestions comm then! Thanks for the advice. \o/
