No way to easily get from the banner to the topic, unless the corresponding post actually has a link to itself added.
If something is important enough to banner, it should be easy to get to the corresponding discussion.
I actually think this is up to moderators, they are the one’s doing the bannering.
Sometimes it may be appropriate to link to the discussion, sometimes, well the banner could be a closed hidden topic.
In the above case they can simply improve the copy to link to the topic.
Revisiting this, would it be possible to add a link that even only mods/admins would see so that we can quickly get to the banner to remove it? That would be a great feature and avoid confusion/searching.
That’s a great, great idea for a feature – @zogstrip can you add a small font footnote to the banner that only staff can see that says
“edit this banner >>”
and when clicked, takes you to the post?
Just added the link for staff members
