I just installed version 8.0 and noticed that after a message is posted that I can no longer go back into that post and click on edit and be able to make it a global announcement or make it a sticky post as I could in previous versions. It seems that I can only make a sticky post or global announcement when I initially make the post and can no longer go back in a day two days later or a week later and make it a sticky or global announcement.

Is there a workaround for this or is this the way it's going to be moving forward?

I did look and it is set to 16777000. All my forums are set to that number and all act the same way.[Linked Image from lawrencemiller.net]

I can make posts sticky using the inline moderation, but no longer within the edited post.

Thanks for your reply

there is a typo (missing curly brace) in one of the scripts that controls the sticky/global toggle

in /scripts/stickpost.inc.php
find around line 83
Code
$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}ANNOUNCEMENTS

replace with
Code
{$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}ANNOUNCEMENTS

Thank you, Issac. Much appreciate your reply. I made the change to the file, but it didn't fix the issue. Your thoughts?
