Float thread to the top. Suggestion

Adam. One of my other favorite sites is popphoto.com. They recently did an overhall. One of the features I like in particular is that you can float a thread up to the top of what ever forum you are in. Then when you go back it is on top and you can see if it has been responded to. Just a thought as I usually check in and go directly to Todays Post and scoll threw and see the box showing if I responded or if it is new. I don't know just a thought.

You can float the newest thread to the top,all you have to do is edit your Options.

Let me rephrase that. I mean float thread you have a particular interest in to the top and it stays there until you move it. Maybe something simular we can do I just have not tinkered around enough to figure it out. I know you can click on My Thread, but that only gives threads you have started not all that you have contributed to. I know you can do the search thing and show all your threads and another way that I alwasy forget. If you have a popphoto account you know what I mean.

Hi Pat,

Only moderators and I can curently bump threads, and due to the backend structure of vBulletin, it's not possible for users to actually change thread parameters. However, I will look into your request and see if there are any mods out there that allow users to individually sort threads to their liking. Thanks for the suggestion!
