Is it possible for a forum administrator to change or remove the label “Sticky?”

I run a support forum used by a broad range of folks, and the term “sticky” is sometimes being interpreted as “tricky” or “difficult.”

(Also, for clarification, I don’t wish to “unstickify” the topic; I just don’t want the text “Sticky” to appear in the topic’s title.)

Yes it is possible.

If you havent done it already, create a folder at the root of your bbpress install called my-templates, copy front-page.php from bb-templates into my-templates. Edit front-page.php in my-templates, go to around line 44 and you will find the “Sticky” text, change it there.

Perfect. Thanks, ergate!

How can this be done in bbPress 0.9.0.2?

Got it : you have to add a snippet of code to replace the topic tag function within the stickies area on the front page.
