Problem with Sticky and Themes.

edited April 2007 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
I've been using Vanilla for a while now, and I'm starting to run into a few problems with it.

I can't stick discussion. I click "Make this discussion sticky" and the page refreshes and shows "[Sticky]" in front of the discussion title. But when I go to either the Category of the discussion or the Discussions list, it has disappeared! I checked it on a category with only 3 discussions, and the "stickied" discussion got shoved to the bottom (Screenshot). Making a discussion "sticky" shouldn't be hard. I just don't get why it doesn't work in Vanilla. Note: I had the same problem in 1.0.3 and fixed the SQL on my own. I figured it would've been fixed in the official release by now.

There were apparently some changes in the way themes are handled between 1.0.3 and 1.1.1. Our theme works great in 1.0.3, but stick it in 1.1.1 and I get a ton of issues (1.1.1, 1.0.3). The themes are exactly the same, I just copied it from 1.0.3 to my 1.1.1 install and got those errors. If there were changes, why were they not made clear when the release was made? Updating a theme when you don't know what has changed is tricky.

    There is a bug which stops preferences (including sticky, bookmarks I believe) from saving.
    A fix is coming soon with 1.1.2

    I don't think wanderer, the bug for the preference is side effect of change made to protect action like sticky, bookmarks... against csrf exploits.

    Well what's stopping my Bookmarks from working then?

    I can't un-bookmark already bookmarked discussions.
    I can't make new bookmarks.

    No errors, they just don't work.

    I just upgraded from 1.0.3 to 1.1.2 and the first thing I noticed is sticky isn't working. It doesn't even put [sticky] in the front of the category name.

    A hard refresh of the browser seemed to fix it.
