hey alexp! 

Here's what I want:  I want admins who have an important forum post to have the ability to KEEP the post at the top of the forum list for a designated amount of time - or simply until they decide to turn the feature off.  It'll be good so that important posts aren't lost 10 posts down when other people post less important messages.

i like it. most every other forum i know has posts by the big dogs that stay at the top because they are either bulletins or posts from important people. this is needed. in my small unimportant opinion lol

these are called sticky posts, and its been suggested before, obviously this is needed.

Why don't you just reply and just put: bump?

that would require me to constantly be waiting to be bumped so that I could put "bump".

Plus what if more than one person was "bumping" at the same time.  It would be catastrophic.

haha thats great. i agree though. the big wigs shouldnt have to "bump". they should just be able to post something and have them stick.

They/'re called Sticky posts (Like solo said.)

I assume their only for Owners?  (Not Admins liek March said? Tee hee.)

P.S.: Darknuth, Amen is my word.

Amen is your word? I seem to recall a certain billion or more other people using the word as well, lol

haha. true, there seem to be "groups" of people that get together and say that word consistantly. usually on sundays and around the time people eat... of course, thats just a myth lol

I thought special administrator announcements went in the News and Updates section. Nonetheless, add it if you think you need it, but never make too many topics "sticky" at once - it looks disorganised.

Agreement.

people post in that forum even though they arent supposed to. its very open really lol it used to be sacred but not anymore. i still want this idea.

I agree- the site needs sticky posts

I think it is very sacred. After all, only the moderators and the creators can post in it. A good idea, but I don't see what important things you would have to post that couldn't be put in the News and Announcements section.

If someone replied to a news and uptates post that wasn't important anymore that would bomp it up in fron of the important one...that's why we need this.

Well why not the lock feature instead? Once an idea is rejected in the Feature Wishing Well you can no longer reply to it. Maybe if the News/Announcement is over then the topic can be locked, therefore keeping the newest at the top.

There is one good reason why this is needed: I want it.
