Well, at least I'm improving.
I've got a PM window open and was just starting to send you a mesasge but I'll do it here now.
When I start a new thread in a forum, in the "Additional Options" section I have the options to "Close this thread after you submit your message." and "Stick this thread after you submit your message.". The closure part I can sort of understand but I could see big problems with allowing people to sticky their own threads so I thought I'd test it. It doesn't look like it worked but I thought I still better draw your attention to it.
