As the board moderator I can make posts "stick" at the top of the list. Our board doesn't use it too much, but if you sort the threads by "last post date" you will always see the "sticky" posts at the top. Right now there is just a Get To Know You post. To very the way you sort posts go to back out to the main LGBT board with the list of threads. Scroll to the bottom. You'll see a few drop down menus. One is "sort". The nice thing about sorting by last post date is that the threads with the most recent replies are then always at the top. Hope that makes sense! :-)
Fore sure and tell her to Mention LGBT BUMP and I will do free shipping for her or anyone from this board!
Woo hoo... we love us some skulls and Cross bones !
