Hail all knowing flist!

Is there a way to put a sticky post at the top of a community?

I know I've seen it done before, but I'm not sure if it's only with certain themes or if it was due to special css. Anyone know?

I'm using flexible squares.

Here via friendsfriends. The sticky post is usually done just by dating the entry to some time in the future (say, year 2020), so that it always pops up on top as the most recent entry. I'm sure you could code something too, but future-dating seems easiest.

I think - though I'm not entirely sure - that you can only do that with a paid account? I remember having the same problem when I set up spn_sceneit.

Try looking through here too:

You can't do sticky posts in communities, even if they are Paid accounts--I would probably just pop links to important posts in your Sidebar ;)

There's certain journal styles that allow you to put info at the top of the journal as a 'post', but only certain styles.

And yeah, future dating doesn't work for comms.

It's got nothing to do with CSS! You just need to manually change the date to something in the future. Also, for that one post, you'll want to CHECK the button that says "Date out of order" (find it by clicking on "edit" next to "date.") But then you need to make sure that every other post you make thereafter has the "Date out of order" button UNCHECKED or else the entry will not appear on your friends' flists. Trust me, I learned about it the hard way. :)

Hope that's helpful. ♥
