I was just reading this article about adding a banner topic, but in the Admin settings I do not have the setting ‘banner topic’ as described in the article. Is there a setting I have to activate first?

That article is old. Now it is under Admin settings on the topic, pin topic, and at the bottom there is the option to make it a banner topic.

Hey, @codinghorror. Perhaps you should update or archive that old post.

I was going to bump it, but I saw that it was closed. @codinghorror my suggestion is that you make some of the essential tutorials into wikis so that users can edit them as soon as they change.

I found that in order to make a banner topic, you had to select a topic, press a hamburger button, choose Un-pin topic... and then press a button to make it a banner topic.

You need to Un-pin only if a topic is already Pinned (on its category) or Pinned globally (on the topics list). If it’s a normal topic you do need to Un-pin.
Is possible to make the topic banner appear more than one time?
The banner will keep appearing until the user clicks the

Yes, I know that, I’m trying to say that its a way to be show again after the user closes it, because some users simply don’t pay much attention on announcements… As we soon will be putting our phpbb forum down and the Discourse on, will be nice to remember them for a couple days about the changes in usability.
Anyway, thank you

If they close it, You can just pin a new topic, but they won’t read it either. (it might reset if you un pin it and pin it again, but they still won’t read it.)

Some of them will! Just not the ones you’d really, really, WANT to read it! Your A students who sit in the front row will read everything.

Hahaha… Yeah, as a good part of our community are nerds, geeks and gamers, those certainly will! It’s about helping the others that matters more showing the changes between phpbb and Discourse

Gehe zum Thema/Beitrag, den du als Banner verwenden möchtest, und klicke unten links auf den Schraubenschlüssel, wie unten gezeigt.
Klicke auf „Thema anpinnen…“, scrolle im Popup-Menü ganz nach unten und wähle die Schaltfläche „Banner-Thema“ aus, wie unten gezeigt.
