[support] 'Sticky at top' not working for me

[Marc Poris]

The $sticky variable gets set automatically by the phptemplate engine in 
phptemplate_node() where the comment says "Flatten the node object's 
member fields" -- it's not the problem in this case, but verifying that 
the same thing happens when using another theme is always a good idea.

Check these things:

1. Have you overridden the 'node' view using the Views module?  If so, 
are you sorting first by Sticky?
2. Do you have a separate front page that's showing the nodes, or is 
this happening on all node listings (ie. via Taxonomy, etc...)?
3. Are you sure there are some nodes set to 'sticky'?
4. Are those nodes also published?
5. Does the viewing user have access to the sticky nodes (has another 
access control module been installed that may be hiding these nodes)?
