I am looking for a way to add a list of BP ads that have been verified or given the red alert. To be useful, it would have to be sticky and update-able on a regular basis within the thread itself. Any way of doing it?

Do the owners or mods have a solution for this?

Here is an example of what I am talking about:

The first post of the thread is made so it can be updated by any member of the forum. If everyone contributes, the thread self-updates and summarizes the main findings within the thread.

The staff are almost certainly the only ones who can stick a thread to the top of the forum. I believe that sticky threads can be replied to by anyone as long as the mods don't lock them, although a lot of sticky threads are set to be locked.

Thanks for the input, GG but I was enquiring about having an update-able sticky post within a thread as opposed to having a sticky thread within a forum.

OK, interesting idea. That post mentions an edit button, but I don't see the edit button when I look at the post. Maybe that's because I'm not logged into that site.

Yes, you need to sign up before you can make any post on that site.

As far as I know you cannot make a post within a thread stick to the top of the thread.
