hi all,  
Is it possible to freeze the first row and prevent it from disappearing upon scroll?  
We would like to keep this piece sticky as users scroll through community  
threads.

Thanks,  
Emma

Why? Those functions are also available from the hamburger menu which is already frozen.

Yeah it’s just that my coworkers would like to see which is # of views vs # or replies.

Something like this should works, but I really agree with @codinghorror here and this change is quite intrusive for site users. Think about it carefully…

```
 .list-controls {
        position: fixed;
        z-index: 999;
        top: 63px;
        background: white;
    }
 .container.list-container {
        margin-top: 50px;
    }

```

ok thanks for your advice! If it’s a better user experience I’m happy to encourage the hamburger more.
