Frustrating bugs with forums

I have following issues with forums. I have searched all over the CS site for the answers, but I cannot find them

I am running CS2.0 on a windows 2003 server. GoDaddy is the hosting service 

1. No functionality available to send confirmation email to newly registered users

I don't see "Email" option  in account activation settings. All I see is "Automatic" and "Admin approved"

2. Cannot make a post sticky after creating it.

It seems that once a thread is posted, it is impossible to  make it a sticky. This is a very important functionality for us because often new users will post something without realizing that they want to make the post sticky.

3. The Last Post Bug

It seems that the last post link is not updated correctly. Even after posting a new thread and a new post on that new thread, the last post link usually takes a lot of time before it updates (upwards of 2 hours)

I am absolutely new to ASP and dotNet. I have been a Java guy all my life. But I really like the CS interface and the functionality that works. If only I can get these 3 things to work, this will be my dream platform. Can someone please help me with resolving these?

Thanks a lot

#1 - This is on by default. The only thing you need to do is turn on email as a whole for the site. (CP >> Admin >> Settings >> Email Settings)

#2 - Admins can change the post stickiness. Are you seeing something different?

#3 - I have not seen this. There is caching involved for performance, so there will be a delay, but it should be < 15 minutes.

I am not sure if this is the right thread for my question.
