a "sticky" is an option Admin/Mods can use to keep a post in the blue area at the top of a section.
i tried stickies for pets, birthdays, etc. they are not popular. i can't honestly say i agree with any of the reasons behind the complaints but i'm not sure it would make sense to stick with something [pun intended ... i couldn't resist :mrgreen: ] if we already know it doesn't seem enjoyable to the majority.
