Yes but if there is a topic that the moderators feel needs to be in the forefront for awhile...sort of like a public service announcement they can "sticky" it and it stays at the top until they unsticky it.  Since invitations is an ongoing issue and very timely  I've sticky'd these two for a day or two.

I just figured that out..the icon for Sticky isn't very obivous.

Oh, I take that back. This post of mine didn't pop to the top.
Is there anyway to unsticky the posts on a individual basis? Is that somewhere in my preferences? I really don't prefer that any threads be at the top of my list, except the ones someone has just posted in.

In your forum profile, there is a forum preferences option (Look and Layout Preferences) with a checkbox you can check so that recent posts are always at the top (except the sticky ones.)

That's only for replies within threads, not threads within forums. I tested it.  I don't have it checked and threads within forums that have been recently replied to jump to the top by default with this forum software, which is a good thing.  Most people will want to leave that box unchecked, so they can read replies within threads in chronological order.

In a word-no. You cannot individually unstick a sticky post. The purpose of the sticky is to keep important info at the front-elimintes need for constant bumping. I don't know if there is a function in your profile to select which threads are viewable to you.
