Do Sticky threads ever disappear?
I was just wondering what happens to them. Do they disappear after no new posts for a while, do they have to be manually removed or do they clutter up the BB for all of eternity? Because eventually they will fill a whole page.

Yeah, in the admin options there's a selection which says "Stick/Unstick thread". Selecting that will stick or unstick the thread. When a thread is stuck it is automatically ontop of all non-stuck threads. Unsticking it moves it back so it's in order with the others in terms of last post (so if the last post in a stuck thread was 1/4/02 then it'd move back to the rest of the topics with that last post date when it's unstuck).

Makes sense?

That 'Last post time' thingy is too damn clever. If you bump a topic then delete the reply that bumped it, it'll move the topic back down.

Some of those Admin things dont work. I tried to lock a thread and sometimes it goes to a funny white screen.

You thought you were better than the machines. You were wrong.

But the person who coded the feature was human.

I think your using it in the wrong context, unless im misinformed as to the true meaning of what you actually meant in your constructive post.

Zero: I'm well aware that I'm coing nonsense words. If you think I'm not, then you're misunderestimating me. :rolleyes:

And yes, I did mean it was informative, and thank you...but I was feeling whimsical.

You don't like your new Kellanified name? :D

Okay, I guess I'm just used to shortening names. Mine's Chris, brother is Rob, etc etc...if it bothers you that much, I will use Zeronet from now on.

Being called Zero can have a negative impact on ones mind(although it doesnt for me, just a little joke of mine).

So what's your full name...Z-man-aroonie? Or the more traditional Zack, Zed (yes, I know someone called Zed) or Zednanreh?
