sticky vs thread

[gramma4]

what is the difference between a tread and a sticky? what is wach one of their purposes? thank you, have wanted to know this for sometime now

a sticky stays in place and usually on the top of page one.
a thread will constantly be moving

stickies usually are helpful for keeping up with commonly asked questions or common issues. reading the stickies can also help keep you from breaking the rules and making the moderators cranky.
