Sticky review threads

Post by JonPorobil »

Ideally, a fight review thread would be un-stickied not long after the new fight goes up, so that the new fight review thread can stay up top where it will be most noticable. It looks like the last few review threads have remained sticky.

As a side note, this is a minor thing, and I'm pretty sure that any of the administrators or mods can fix it, so we don't necessarily need to wait for Spud to see this post. Niv, Glenn, Ken, Lunkhead, Frankie, Jefff, and JB are all on the administrator or mods list.

I either don't have access to sticky/un-sticky, or I am failing to figure out how to do so. If somebody can explain to me how to do so I can try to remember to do that in the future, assuming I have access to do so.

I don't know where it is in phpBB3 but in 2.x you did it by editing the first post in the thread and selecting the post type at the very bottom of the form.

I don't see anything like "post type". My googling turned up similar instructions. I don't think I have access to do that, so I guess I'm off the hook. ;)

I have a phpBB 3 forum on one of my sites that nobody uses and is probably way outdated but here's a couple of screen shots showing ways that my admin account there can change post types.

Lunkhead is a "Mod" and not an "Administrator," so that must be why. I assumed that changing the stickiness of threads was a minor thing that would be available to both levels of moderator, but if that feature is tied to other ways in which a post can be changed, then maybe not. I guess we need to get an Administrator on this.
