How do I create a "Sticky" Thread?
I would like to create a sticky thread for night rides in the So Cal region since these will be ongoing. How can I do this?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply by the way.

As already mentioned, only mods can sticky a thread. I don't see much advantage to a stickied night ride thread, though. If enough night rides happen, you'll get lots of cross talk. Better to have them in separate threads. Or if you insist on one big thread, if it gets used enough, it will float near the top anyway.

If we stickied every thread that was "in the moment" every forum would be nuts. Stickied threads, traditionally, are for very useful information or topics that will explode (kind of ironic since topics that explode get bumped constantly)
All other forums put up different posts for the week of the ride, that seems like a good action as it keeps things current. Stickied tend to get buried with responses and become 27 pages at 50 posts per page pretty quickly.
