I just noticed that in v2.3.5, neither moderators nor admin seem to have the ability to make an existing topic 'sticky'. I think this would be a usful feature.
(My apologies if it was added after 2.3.5 and I didn't notice it)

Sigh... nevermind... all I had to do was edit the first post in the topic to change it from 'normal' to 'sticky'.
Regarding upgrading from 2.3.5 to 2.3.8... I really don't want to have to redo my theme changes and rank-point coding changes more than I need to. But, if in your opinion, any known bugs in 2.3.8 are worth upgrading from 2.3.5, I'll consider it. The main feature that I wanted you did add after 2.3.5 was the ability for admin to post in a post-password protected forum. And the admin controls for better user control.
I just wish there was an easy way to upgrade AND keep a custom forum without having to go back and re-edit all the templates. I havn't upgraded FUDForum before, but from some posts I've read here, it sounds like others have had to recreate their themes after upgrading, and I'm not looking forward to it.
Then there are the code changes I've done to add rank-points. Source files and some templates (no new files or templates). Code additions to Admin Control Rank Manager and Consistancy Checker to handle rank-points.
Still having a problem when I try to remove a deleted forum... something about a table not locked (the new rank_pts table I made) but couldn't find the place to do the locking. Anyway, seems to actually do the delete even though error. (I do run Consistancy Checker afterwards)
Lots of new smiley's added.
Additions of new fields in the user table, and creation of a new table. I believe I've made the needed changes to the sql files so that the upgrade script should recreate them.
Guess I'd have to install 2.3.8 fresh on another box or sub-dir, then check each source file against mine to see exactly what files I'd have to update manually and which (if any) I could just copy over. Same with templates and admin modules.
What are your thoughts?
