With the way we’re set-up, we have micro-communities that will be largely on one category most of the time. Is there anyway for there to be a “one topic to rule them all” option, where a topic can be cross-posted to ensure visibility to all users?
I thought maybe subcats would inherit permissions from the parent, so perhaps that was a route, but evidenly that isn’t the case.
Thoughts? Or at least a way to accomplish this? (Yes, the banner topic is a possibility, but the UX is entirely different from the threads).
So, we run a football site (thedenforum.com). There’s 32 teams, so there’s 32 subcategories (under a General parent forum). For the most part, users (fans) will hang in their own designated category. However, there’s times I need to communicate something across all users—which the alert bar and banner topic just don’t convey (mostly a UX thing).
A pinned topic that surfaces across all categories would work well. Perhaps it originates from the Parent category?
This would give maximum flexibility as an admin, while entering into the threaded discussions with important information.
