Perfect — this worked like a charm. Thanks so much for your help!
AWESOME! I figured that was the issue after my testing yesterday — but couldn’t track down the query in core to fix it myself.
How close is 2.2 to release? Would you be nervous upgrading a 2.0.2 install to 2.2 at this point?
Thanks for the update on this, JJJ
For what it’s worth, this seems to be related to the fact that the Topic’s post_status is set to ‘closed’ — So a closed, sticky topic won’t retain it’s place at the top of the forum listing.
Quite odd, and is causing quite a bit of unusual behavior. I’m going to try to upgrade to the version that is now out since I posted this originally in hopes that this has somehow been fixed!
I think I’m seeing a related issue as described at this thread:
Really, really odd behavior with sticky posts
The most prolific user in my forum will make a post which seems to want to make itself a draft after a couple of days. It’s quite odd. Once I go in and “Publish” the topic again, it starts behaving normally. What the heck?
