Pinning a post to the top of the topic

I run into this scenario often, as it’s useful to understand why we decided something, with the historical conversation.

As @not-ethan mentioned, the Discourse Solved plugin is a useful tool for this. One method:

  1. Have your discussion topic, with all kinds of useful information (“Where should we have lunch?”)
  2. Move the useful information into a new topic (“Places to have lunch”)
  3. Reply to discussion topic with a link a short description, and mark that reply as the “Solution”, which will show prominently in the first topic

Thanks for the input everyone! Now we have a solid list of lunch spots at https://forums.example.org/t/places-to-have-lunch/1337. Check it out!

A bonus to this method is that it pairs well with other methods you may deploy over time, such as combining it with Discourse Docs, or long megathreads, or topics with auto-deleting replies… lots of combos for different ways of collaborating. :slight_smile:
