Hello,

@admin Please note that Sticky Topics don't remain on top of the page, even if you have selected the sticky and show in front page and category page option.

Using CodoForum v4.9.4

That's strange, this forum is running on v.4.9.4 and sticky topics seem to be working fine.
We will have a look at some scenarios and see whats wrong.

@admin

I have had the experience that if a topic was pinned on and a topic author is editing it again after it got pinned at a later point in time (update etc.), then it loses the "pinned status" after being saved.

Kind regards, Andy

I think this is the issue, as I've edited the topics multiple times.
Also, after I closed the 2 new topics above the sticky one, it became first again.

@admin Any news on this?
It's a very annoying bug.

Hi,

We were thinking of fixing this in v5.0 but since it's giving you issues, we will try to fix it today and give you a manual fix.

Hi,

Please try this to fix your issue. Open sys/CODOF/Forum/Topic.php

Around line 185, replace

'ORDER BY Field(t.topic_status, ' . Forum::APPROVED_CLOSED . ', ' . Forum::STICKY_CLOSED . ', 
               ' . Forum::APPROVED . ' , ' . Forum::STICKY . ' ) DESC, t.last_post_time DESC ' .

with

'ORDER BY t.topic_status DESC, t.last_post_time DESC ' .

It worked!

Thanks @admin you're a saint!

EDIT: Now it sets the Sticky topics first, but if you also have some Closed topics, it puts them after the sticky (like it's second in importance), without taking into consideration the post date.

So how it should be:

1. Sticky first
2. Other posts sorted by the posting date (doesn't matter if they are open or closed).
