Usually to get you to look!

Stickied threads tend to be live webchats, product tests or news about Mumsnet we'd like you all to see.

It's when we "stick" a thread at the top of Active Convos, so it's always there at the top, even when it's been a while since someone posted on it.

Oh, and Greensleeves, you can Customise to ignore Stickies if you like - although you can't then blame us if you miss out on free chocolate or summat...

We hear you!

But we do try to keep it to no more than five at a time - and, most times, a lot fewer.

Tricky, though - so much to tell you all about!
