I forget how to make a post sticky. Can you remind me?

Do you mean a Forum *Sticky*, that appears at the top of a main forum page? Only administrators can do that.

Yes, it is basically what Lin said.

I recently made a post explaining what a sticky is:

Johannian said: Yes, or just the main forum thread of the year. For example, valleylynn is the moderator of the Sempervivum forum, and she makes the "Sempervivum Chat & Photos" thread a sticky every year. At the end of the year, she takes that thread down, and replaces it with next year's thread.

There are two other sticky threads on the forum that she probably thought were important, and should be some of the first threads anyone sees after clicking on the forum.

@ttkc4704 - did that answer your question? Or are you maybe asking about how to "bookmark" a post? If that's the case, there's a symbol next to the acorn at the bottom of each post that you can click on to add it to your bookmarks.

For instance, I have an Iris Vendors list with the word " sticky" just before it making it easy to refer back to, when necessary. I can't remember how that happened, as I am older and a technical ' clutz'

How do you access that vendors list, Teresa? (my guess is that you have a "link" to a list that is a "sticky" on the iris forum? )

When you say "you have an iris vendors list", where do you have it?
As mentioned above, that list is on the Iris forum, marked as a 'sticky' by admin to keep it at the top of the forum. It's not anything you can do to make it 'sticky', it just happens to be marked that way.
