Most of you probably know what a sticky thread is already, but if you don't it's basically a thread that is kept at the top of the forum page (even if it's not getting activity). There wouldn't be a ton of threads like this, but resource threads would be nice to have at the top of the page in case you ever need to use them.

Some examples of what would be discussed in these threads are things like what plants bloom in spring, summer, etc. What plants have red flowers, yellow, purple, etc. The general idea is to keep the threads with questions commonly asked at the top of the page, so if someone needs to read them they can find them easily, instead of searching through 60+ pages of old threads.

Go to the topic line above Perennial Forum there is a Frequently Ask. I do not know how up to date it is but it might help.

Here is a link that might be useful: FAQ

I don't believe GW management allows 'sticky posts' but they do have other features that can achieve the same result. The "My Clippings" option allows you to save threads you feel significant or especially informative, both for your own purposes or to share.

And the search feature works for this purpose too. I can't count the number of times I've tracked down an archived thread I've needed a piece of data from.

And as noted, if it is that useful or valuable a thread, including it into the FAQ's is an excellent idea.
