A feature on the new software is that a user can unstick the sticky threads. Which is great, because they no longer take up real estate, and you can see a lot more on once screen.

But now I can’t see any easy way to find the sticky threads again in a forum if I want to look at them. Any ideas?

I asked a little while ago, and received this reply.

> Quick and dirty, just type in:pinned in the search box and it will show all pinned messages. in:pinned #About This Message Board shows pinned in this category. Finally, use the interface if you want further filtering or don’t want to memorize the above. The pinned flag is available in the dropdown of Advanced Search under “Only return topics/posts…”

Thanks, that works. I feel better about asking now, I assumed I was missing something obvious, but I would never have figured that out.
