Reduce the sticky posts

[Patrick]

well this night nurse is confusing my thoughts..my excuse and sticking to it... i understand bumping ok.......important threads that stay at the top because they are useful for info ect is understandable but what is it that makes them "sticky" to stay up there ?....when the last posting is old ?....
thanks keith

I just spotted a possible source of confusion, do you use the "New Posts" link? If you do then you won't see the sticky threads so this discussion won't be making much sense.

If you click on "Electirc Bicycles" at the top of this page where it says "Pedelec Forums - Electric Bike Forum > Pedelecs Forums > Electric Bicycles", then you will see a list of all the threads in the Electric Bicycles area of the forum with the three sticky threads at the top.

These threads have been marked as "Sticky" by the administrators, which the board's software interprets as "Ignore the last posted date on this thread and list it first".

So anyone can bump a thread by adding a post to make it look like it's active, but only administrators can make a thread sticky which overrides the chronological ordering of the threads.
