    Default Moderator dropdown menu.

    A dropdownmenu for forummoderators is added. This will have some effects:
    -1. optical and functional.
    -2. 'possible' to add more moderators to a forum.
    This was limited to 2-3 only, mainly because of point 1. As that is not an issue anymore, more moderators can be added. This can be relevant for hosted mods. I require to be contacted by a person who already moderates such a forum in case of adding new names.

    .
    Could it be made less wide Tosa Inu sama? It disturbs the optical/aesthetical aspect a little as it is.

    BTW I like the new EBH layout, much better.

    Nice . . . any way to make the colors match a bit better? The white is sort of unsightly.

    I keep having a 'self-stickied' thread not only not be stickied, but disappear to me. Then I have to search it. Resticky it. It looks like it's there, but then it disappears again.

    Hmm, I've noticed this as well, although I find that if I add &pp=100 to the end of the URL that the stickied threads turn up again. Not sure why this should make a difference though.

    Then I wasn't seeing things. I had this too a few times, but that was when playing around with the installation. Is this still an issue?

    It seems to be related to the age of the topic. It looks like only topics that would normally be on page one, can be personal stickied.

    This hack needs rework then.

    It's such a thing indeed. Real stickies are displayed at page 1, no matter how old they are. Personal stickies, at this moment, are displayed at the top of the page they belong to.

    Since personal stickies mostly act like real stickies and stickies are not displayed on every page in this board (unless a forum has more than 40?), the personal stickied thread disappears.

    It may require a bit rework, so a quickfix is made. Personal stickied threads now appear on the top of their own page.
    Example: you sticky your topic at page 1 today, but people post in/create other topics and your thread drops to page 2. it's now stickied at page 2.

    Not a nice solution, but it should do it while we look for a real fix.

    Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for reporting.

    All personal stickies are now displayed at page 1.

    Ah, that would explain why displaying more threads per page would make a difference.

    Thanks for the quick fix: seems to be working fine now.
