[wp-forums] Editing Forum Sticky Posts?

[Gary Gale]

So the new post is ready to be, err, posted. The URL for the current sticky post that's to be zapped is http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-biographia-problem-please-read-this-first-before-posting ... let me know when you've done deleting and I'll post the replacement up.

Thanks again

-Gary

I'll get a new post up and suitably sticky over the weekend (it's coming to the end of a long long week over here in the UK) and then let you know the URL of the one to be deleted and you can work your admin magic.

So I've set up a sticky post along the lines of "please read this first before posting" detailing plugin specific information which makes dealing with support threads so much easier ... assuming people read the sticky post first that is!

I could unset the sticky flag and gradually let the post float downwards as people post new stuff and create a new sticky post to supercede the original ... but is there any way I can edit/update a sticky post that I've posted (and which is on a forum for a plugin that I've written)?
