OK I'm A Little Dense. Explain...

"Sticky:" at the start of a post title.

[Admin]

Means the topic (of special interest) stays "stuck" at the top of the forum list, regardless of other activity, and overriding any user-selected sorting options.

[Schuarta]

Who can apply the "Sticky" label? The author? Or just the Admin?

[Admin]

If everyone had the ability to so deem a topic important above others, we might have nothing but Stickies, so, currently, only admins have the permission.

I have a pet peeve with sticky...they seem to stay sticky even after the time has past that they no longer need to be sticky....I'm always glad when they get un-sticky

[Admin]

It would be great if there was a way to automatically un-stick stickies after a certain time period, or after they've received no replies for several days. But there isn't, so we just have to deal with them on a case-by-case basis.
