This question has been addressed at other times in the forums, for example, last year in this thread. To save you the trouble of looking, the version of MVNforum we are running is quite old and stickies are not supported. It is unlikely that it will be upgraded as extensive modifications were necessary to get the software to run in the multiple server environment needed for our community. The project team at the World Community Grid is quite busy with the projects we are running and will run in the future. Since the forum software we are running meets our needs for the most part, I don't think a good business case could be made to justify an upgrade and diverting the project teams efforts.

I hope this has bumped the thread appropriately.

I guess that we Community Advisors have a bit of tunnel vision at times. In his response, retsof mentions phpBB forums. From what I've seen, these are pretty good. Not sure about the "stickies" there, but their web site is here. If you Do not wish to set up your own server for it, there are a number of phpBB based free forum hosts out there as well. They are usually free because they attach adverts in banners, etc. It's worth BUMPing over there to take a look.

Actually, my sticky comment was for both the WCG forums and the one I am supposed to implement. I think the software I have been "blessed" with is ntforum, but I haven't looked up the details yet.

In retrospect, the ideal solution to a private team forum is for the team to host one on their team site, which means it will be entirely separate from WCG and thus can implement whatever the team wants. Alternately, there are a number of internet sites which will host a forum for you, for a minimal monthly charge, if a given team can't host one themselves.

almost forgot, bump.
