how do you sticky or announce ( Solved )

how do you sticky topics and make announcements

when you make a new topic by clicking new topic button, you should see an options button or link, below the box where you are typing your new topic. click it and it will drop down to show you a section where you can choose to make it a sticky etc.

You should make sure that the forum itself has its permissions set to allow you to make stickys, by going in admin...general...forums and categories, and clicking the permissions symbol to see what permissions you have set for the forum.

i have set for myself as admin to sticky and announce but i have no sticky or announce buttons

only have split, delete etc

it is not a button like that, its in the optiosn section that should appear just below your new topic box along with:

Disable HTML in this post
Disable BBCode in this post
Disable Smilies in this post
Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile)
Notify me when a reply is posted

it should say post topic as: normal sticky announcement

i only have the quick mod tools

Also, I would like to know how do you STICKY a members post?

i have found the others lol

but yes i too would love to know this

To make a member's post a Sticky (or Announcement) you need to have moderator capabilities. If not, you can't do it. If you do have moderator capabilities, then you have to click on the "Edit" button of the first post in the thread. Then you can scroll down, past the text box and find the option that makes it either a Normal, Sticky or Announcement. Select what you want and then click on the Send button.

By the way, this should have been it's own topic. It's a violation of the rules to ask for help in another members thread.

sorry if i was wrong but i did start the topic

I'm so sorry ~*Hunnys2Angels*~. I never looked to see who posted. It was a big mistake on my behalf. Sorry once again.

It's ok i forgive you

thanks again for letting me know how to sticky

I'm glad I was able to help you.

Thank you Scamite, if there was a THANK YOU button I would press it, if there was an ADD REP button I would press it, but as things are, I can just say thank you. And also I apologise for posting question in another members thread, will not do it again, I am quick learner
