Hi!

I would like to dislay a brief presentation of my forum on the top of the home page, which is the Categories page.  
Is it possible in Discourse ? I didn’t found any answer at the moment …

Thx!

You can use a banner text (Site Settings) or a banner topic for that (wrench icon on the topic).

Sure, you can pin a topic (by admin wrench) and make it like an announcement.  
Take a look here [https://discuss.moe/](https://discuss.moe/) to see an example.

The difference is that the users cannot close the banner text, the banner topic can be closed.

Thank you!  
But what’s admin wrench ? Is it a plugin ?  
And I don’t find the banner text or banner topic in the Discourse Settings …

Thank you @Falco! I found it.  
In fact, the menu changed, we have to click on “pin topic” then a box is displayed:

(Sorry it’s french 😅)  
I think that should be interesting to communicate about this 😉  
Bye!
