New to Discourse community platform. I want to learn as an admin how can I reply within a post under a topic? For an example, there is an intro yourself post. That post has already been pinned. I added my intro under that “Intro post.” I want to pin my response so everyone can see, so they don’t ne…

@cathyjliu here you go :slight_smile: i made quite a few screenshots to help guide you and i broke it down into a 2-step process step 1: Moving the first post to a new topic and inserting your own post below click the topic wrench at top right of the topic you want move (this is the top post intr…

Welcome @cathyjliu ! :discourse: :wave: If I understand you correctly you’d like to pin a post within a topic. At the moment, this is not possible by default. I’d imagine that you would need a custom plugin. An alternative way to make a post stand out is to ‘Add Staff Colour’ [image] This is fou…

Appreciated the tip! How do I get custom plugin? Meanwhile, I like your workaround of adding staff color. Thank you!

thank you for the info; will bookmark it and see if I have the resource or bandwidth to figure it out!

[afbeelding] Cathy Liu: I want to pin my response so everyone can see, so they don’t need to scroll all the way to the bottom. What happens is that when they go to the topic they will go to the first post that they have not seen, so they won’t need to scroll to your post if it’s the first one…

i think he means that when a person enters a topic, they automatically go to the first post they have not read yet. it does not always go to the top post if they have already been in the topic. i use staff color, staff notices and pinned topics a lot on my forum. i cannot see how pinning will do w…

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the confusion, but I will try to explain it. The intro post has already been pinned under the topic. It is a long post with near 40 replies. I want my reply (the one I introduced myself) to be pinned right under the original post. Does that make sense now?

what do you mean by pinned? do you mean the first post (original post)? pinning refers to making a topic post go to the top of a topic list page for users regardless of if it’s got the latest activity. this is a pinned topic post (the first post in the topic). you can see the pin icon beside the t…
