What are message board stickies?

A sticky comes in handy to help keep important or relevant messages and topics organized and accessible. If there is a message that an administrator or moderator wishes everyone to see he or she can stick it to the top of the page. This action will keep that particular topic at the top so it does not move from that position no matter how many other threads are created or responded to.

If there are a bunch of people using the forum threads can start moving rapidly. Some topics may be pushed to the bottom of the page or off the page altogether.

If there is an important topic or if an administrator has an announcement, he or she can place or “stick” that message at the top of the page instead of allowing it to be pushed up or down by other topics. It is also a good method for posting forum rules or frequently asked questions.

Some forums have more than one sticky at the top of the page.
