anshukr sought help to replicate a dismissible, vertically scrolling banner layout seen on sites like the Python and OpenAI communities. After trying various theme components like versatile banner and welcome-banner without success, they asked whether a specific plugin, theme component, or custom code was needed. Moin responded by pointing out Discourse’s built-in “Pin Topic” feature, which can be configured to create a dismissible banner using the original post of any topic — exactly what anshukr was looking for. anshukr confirmed the solution worked and clarified they had mistaken the layout for a custom component, appreciating the minimal, clean design of those example sites. The discussion highlights how Discourse’s native pinning feature can effectively serve as a customizable, dismissible banner without requiring additional plugins or code.
Hi, I know there’s lot of topics around featured banner but i need this specific layout on my discourse site as used by
python community(https://discuss.python.org/)
openai community (link)

tried :- versatile banner, welcome-banner and others mentioned by community but no luck…
please suggest, how to create that dissmisible banner layout with vertical scrolling?. is that any theme component i’m missing or plugin or some custom codes?
Welcome to Meta 
Did you try the pin option which Discourse offers by default? I think that’s what you are looking for
Ah! thanks .. i get it , like the way those sites have put minimal information i thought its some kind of banner component.
Thanks, its working now..
