I have a similar concern that I expressed here: I just upgraded to the latest tag, and lost banner topic!, and I really hope that @dax’s workaround will keep working.
In my case, I had chosen the following workflow:
- Create a new topic in #staff with a #banner tag
- Prepare the banner in the first post
- Eventually use replies to discuss banner scheduling and variants
- Make topic a banner.
But with the new approach, I cannot have the staff discussion about banners.
