How to set your first post to stay at the top

[Gary W. Graley]

Hi guys I’ve seen a few threads where the initial post remains at the top even when you are on different pages of the thread, how is that accomplished?
Thanks in advance

I believe this is how it's done.

When creating the thread, you want to select "Question" instead of the default of "Discussion".

See the screenshot below.

I think you start the thread with the "question" prefix.

edit: benchwarmer beat me to it.

The answers will default to show by upvotes, rather than chronologically.

Weird, all the threads I go to with this feature default to show by date.

It is nice that you have the option for both and that it's easy to switch between the two.

Cool - I did not know this.

I just double checked, and you're correct. It's showing by date. Things are a little wonky around here lately.

I just posted a thread but the option of Question was not in the listing, only Discussion and Poll

after a little testing around, it appears this is only available when creating a post in the General Discussion area and not in other sections of the forum...
