How do I make a thread a "sticky" or an "annoucement"?

I am the site admin.

Would the other members in my forum be able to do the same?

When creating a new topic, there should be a drop box near the end of the "Post New Topic" Form. It should have the following options:

Pin
Pin and Close
Close*

*Close may appear only on replying to a post.

After a topic has been posted you can go down to the drop box that says in Bold red letters "Moderation Options" or something like that and then choose Pin Topic.

=====================

If you want members to do this as well, you need to specify it in the "Manage User Groups" Menu in the ACP... it's not recommended though.
