thread sinker (anti-bumper)

I don't want to delete (censor) certain threads, but I also don't want them to keep floating up when a new post is added.

Is there a mod that will allow a mod to put a "sinker" on a thread?

So what you want is another sort option in viewforum that sorts on thread creation date, instead of last post date, after which you could make that the default sort for particular forums?

Or would this actually be a condition you could set on a per thread basis?

exactly. every now and then, there's a topic that gets discussed that I don't want to shun, but I also don't want it right there at the top, under the lights, so to speak. I don't want to delete it, for political reasons, but I'd like to sweep it under the rug.

'k, I'll get back on this... need to test a theory to see if what I have in mind works.

'k, so far it works, and with little modifications... but this is changing a value directly in the database.

What I did was make a few modifications in forumdisplay.php and includes/functions_forumdisplay.php, and a change to the 'threadbit' template.

Then setting a thread's 'sticky' field to -1 for a sunk thread. It then shows up as the last post in that forum :D

So basically all I'd have to do now is to add an option 'Sink thread' to the thread tools menu and some logic to set the field to -1 and packaging the instructions. ;)

This research so far took 15 minutes. Doing the rest will take as much as an hour perhaps (writing the rest of the code and instructions). I'll take care of this after I finish up the v1.2 of my already published hack and reply here with a link to the new hack.
