I have no experience with forums.
So can someone explain the use of Sink, Float ? Or better what does it mean when I Float or Sink a discussion.

    There isn't a float option in Vanilla, but sink can be used so that any new comments added to the discussion do NOT cause the discussion to be bumped up in the list - effectively making the discussion "sink" down the list no matter what people add to it.

    Basically it'll still allow comments to be posted so it's not like a close thread option. Handy for topics that you want people to continue to discuss but don't feel it's worth closing the thread for.

    And "float" would translate as "unsink"?

    Well there is no float option.. like Mark says. But I guess its just a Sticky thread. It could be whatever you want since nothing like that exists for Vanilla.

    it's not a sticky. it's the opposite of a sticky, if anything.

    nevermind, i understand what you mean now :)

    Myabe nvictor read the discussion that convince lot of us that sticky posts should be called (float|floating|floaty) posts.
