Personal Sticky Threads
What are "Personal Sticky Threads"?
Personal Sticky Threads (aka "Personal Stickies") is an Add-on for vBulletin that will allow your users to sticky threads that only they will see as stickied; these "personal stickies" will appear beneath normal sticky threads. This Hack was originally designed by Mephisteus for vBulletin 3.5, and re-released (with his permission) for vBulletin 3.7.x. This hack requires a couple of File Edits, and should be attempted by those who are comfortable editing vBulletin source files. That said, I have included modified detailed instructions that should make installation straight-forward and easy.
Special thanks are owed to Mephisteus, for allowing an updated re-release for vBulletin 3.7, and to john1744 and zendive for improving upon the query alterations. As I typically disclaim with my other Add-ons, I am generally a neophyte at this sort of stuff and I tend to modify hacks and tinker with pre-existing code to get the results that I want. That said, please use this discussion thread as a community-support and mutual learning opportunity.
Finally, if you like this hack and install it, please:
