Request: Stickies or Pins for pod boards

DreamWeaver [no longer around] said Nov 23, 2006, 1:44 PM:

I've just started a new pod (*yay* - I'm learning fast! :D), and I'd like to be able to “pin” threads to the board so they don't get bumped down as the pod grows. I have a serious need for organization, and I really dislike having to deal with new threads about the same things, because members can't find the original threads. Is pinning threads to discussion boards an option?

Hummmmmmm, you don't have them in your pod??? I have stickies in mine. Odd.

Nope - no stickies anywhere. Where should I be looking for them?

Upper righthand corner of the page: edit, lock thread, sticky…etc…

I'm happy to say I finally found them! *doin' the happy dance*

I'm glad that we can sticky the first post in a thread topic - don't get me wrong. What I was referring to (which I now understand should have been more clear) was that it would be really great if we could sticky the actual category to the board.

You know how you see the categories (threads) on the main page of the group? Well, those are the ones I was referring to when I was asking if we could somehow sticky or pin them to the board. My pod is growing - two new categories were just added - and threads I'd really like to stay on top are being shunted down to the bottom.

Hi, Is there a FAQ page for these pod icons? How does the lock thread function work? What happens when I lock a thread? Thanks.

Hi alexchua,
Check out this link for info on pods.
Also, if you go to the admin part of your pod (let the cursor rest on “admin”), you will see a link “pod details”. Click here and you should be able to change the icon picture (and other details) of your pod. I hope this helps you.
If not; please let us know. :)
