I have one topic in our discourse with a direct link to a thread on our Discord with the same topic - see attached picture. How do I do that to other topics? we have no idea who did it (I’m the only admin) [image]

Hello and welcome @Dan_Carfas :slight_smile: Just as a smidge of extra info, that’s known as the ‘featured link’ and can be toggled on/off sitewide via the topic featured link enabled admin setting.
