how hard would it be to add a little check box for top topic under the close topic checkbox on the reply or new topic page? for example, when you start or reply to a topic there are check boxes for Email Notification, Show Signature, Disable smilies in this post, and Close Topic. How would I add one for Top Topic?

thanks jordo. that works, however it needs to be a little fine tuned. with that code anyone can top a topic and I would like for that option to only be available to admins and mods.

thank you for the quick reply jordo. I am gonna go test this out now.

Edit: worked great. Thanks again jordo for helping me with this. It was always a pain to make a sticky post then have to click back to it in order to make it sticky.
