Is there a dropdown in the lower right labeled "Quick-mod tools:"?

Brian, try now. It appears you weren't listed as a moderator in your forum.

It's not in the quick mod tools. You have to click the "Edit" button on the first post and at the bottom there are multiple options, one of which is "Change Topic Type to" with 3 options - Important, Announcement, and Sticky. Pick which one you want it and it'll post.

Ok I have looked EVERYwhere for this. Gone into my post as a non moderator, and clicked edit, gone into the post AS a moderator, and clicked edit. It's just not there... not even when I try to create a NEW post, .....??? The options on the bottom do NOT include this for me. Is it supposed to be in with all those other options with little check boxes??

This is all I see

Disable BBCode
Disable smilies
Do not automatically parse URLs
Attach a signature (signatures can be altered via the UCP)
Notify me when a reply is posted

that's all... no other options.... am I looking in the wrong place still? The only other tab (there's "options") is the "upload attachment" tab.... the only other buttons are "save" "preview" and "submit"

I have worked on and in and AS moderators on a lot of forums... I'm not a dummy here... but I can't find this. something must be in error. Can you guys plz remove Rob F as a mod in the BC North forum as he is no longer a member of BCN ... maybe somehow your forums in the VA section will only allow one moderator to have all the "tools" availiable??

Thanks :)

Yes that is not there, thanks. I dont feel like such an idiot now, it's just not there (the "post topic as" colmun)... the rest of the options are there, but not that. Any admins able to fix that? :D

any update on this? I've sent a PM to at least a few admins....? can we at least get a guy who is no longer part of the airline off the moderating crew of said airline at least? Maybe it'll clear up why I can't properly mod the BC North forums....thanks in advance gents :)

Brian, I made some more changes on this, take a look at this again and see if you can do what you need.
