The problem with the sticked topic

I noticed this problem: Sticky topic. Topicstarter edit the first post of topics. The result - not sticked topic

He's talking about a bug which I have known, for as long as I've been a WWF user Bruce..

Full scenario is:

1) A member with edit post permissions, starts a thread and then asks one of the Mod / Admin Team to make it a sticky (which we would do if it was a vital / important type thread).
2) The thread is then a sticky.
3) The original member then edits the OP of the thread.
4) That thread then becomes unstuck and sinks... So he then needs to ask the Mod / Admin to sticky it again.

Sometimes we will sticky a thread by a non Mod / Admin for various reasons (club meet / club group buy) but it always becomes unstuck if that member edits the OP to add info / update etc etc. Which is what Ritchie is trying to explain (I think).

Not sure if it's a "bug" or a simple case of the fact that as you say, only Mod / Admin can sticky and as soon as a stickied thread by a non Mod / Admin gets edited by that member, it automatically drops the sticky tag if they edit the opening post and update.

Many thanks,
Shaun

PS - This has always been the case since we started with WWF in 2002.. Still the case with 10.03 as I have just tested to be 100% :)

PPS - Ideally a sticky will remain a sticky once stickied, regardless of who edits the opening post... Until that thread is deleted or made an normal non sticky.

Bruce - you can fix this problem?

Bruce, is that issue fixed in 10.12 version? Priority of that sticky topic can't be preserved during edit process?
