Change Log
Version 1.0.3
- Fixed some broken uninstall code.

Version 1.0.2
- Changed the default value of sticky order from 0 to 5. This was done so you may have stickies like ?Sig Testing? that are always below new stickies.

Version 1.0.1
- Fixed Select Field size.
- Removed '' from numeric values to lessen load and speed up the script.
- Removed excess spacing just to clean up the code.
- Changed != to <> in the MySQL Query to prevent problems.

Nice job!

[FleaBag]

This should be default in vB! Great work, thanks a lot!

what would be cool on the design sight is to have that new block of functions displayed only when you click to stick the thread.. -- ok, i'm paranoid!

The problem is there area about 4 different spots to sticky posts. There is only one spot that you could do it reasonably. The rest get a bit more complicated especially the inline mod sticky as you can stick mass amounts of threads.

I will look into it though for a future version.
