Stickies are now separated from regular threads. This should make it even easier to differentiate the two and also make it easier to browse the forums. When I can get my hands on it I will install a plugin that allows you to collapse and uncollapse the stickies so they don’t waste your screen space.
I tested the collapsible stickies and it wasn’t robust enough. The stickies will remain separated instead of collapsible until I can find or make a better implementation.
