When something is helpful and important for people they can make it a sticky. Don't know how the mods do it, but that way it stays on the top page so people can keep seeing, unlike with other threads when nobody replies to it.
Hope to see you using a bb soon, you'll love it!
The admins decide that the information should remain at the top of a particular forum, not roll down as it "ages". The word "STICKEY" appears before the topic.
