    Hi,
    When you order a forum page by most recent, it assumed it would show threads which have had a newest posts. 
    When I go to the forum thread for football betting and order by most recent, it doesn't show the threads in order of the newest posts.
    The forum URL is https://www.boards.ie/b/forum/1357. The newest thread was last updated yesterday at 17:19 but this thread - https://www.boards.ie/b/thread/2057637946/154? was updated 30 mins ago and seems to exist under the same forum.
    Just wondering is this a bug or am I mis-understanding how the order by works?
    Thanks

    Certain threads are "stickied" meaning they will always be at the top of the front page within a forum. The thread you linked is an example of a sticky and it has a "sticky:" prefix

    Cheers for the reply but it doesn't seem to be "stickied" as their doesn't seem to be prefix like that. 
    Have screenshot but not sure how to add it?
