Hu normally setting the right for stickying posts in the admin that should be ok.

I tested it while implementing that feature for the 0.4.0 version.

Ranger187 · #**1373** 05-20-2008, 08:01 AM

Odd, I didn't see anything that specifically said "sticky"..... I was doing this in usergroups and now on 3 forums it's not there after going to 0.4.0

I was doing this via AdminCP > Usergroups > Setting them for each, but was focusing on the admin only. That did not help.

Is in any other area?

Also, loaded 0.4.0 on a 3.6.10 forum and gave the lovely loading message...

Doesn't work with my forums big waste of time, and it says search for things that arn't even correct variables Pshhh learn to code

For the sticky thing that's strange, seems like I am gonna have to check ...

For the loading issue on 3.6.10 I ran it fine so this must be either a misconfiguration error or install.

Wow ... Calm down... These variables are perhaps not correct if your style is custom...

I give this mod for free so please stay polite ...
