We’re looking for a way (via a plugin or any other method) to pin a comment to the top of the comment thread on a given forum post. The reason: We want to update older posts with current info/research etc., without rewriting the actual post itself. Any ideas?

Let me try my question again, this time using the proper Discourse terms. I’m re-trying because the suggestion of Solved Discourse Solved plugins leads me to believe I wasn’t clear. We have tech-oriented topics that are aging but we want to keep the text of the OP intact. At the same time, we don’t…

What about updates to the update? Are you going to create subsequent replies which roll up all the updates and then pin those? Or will you need to pin multiple responses? The reason this doesn’t have an immediate and obvious solution is because this is typically the domain of wiki posts. The curren…

Thanks, Stephen. Not having the necessary privileges, I wasn’t aware that wiki posts existed. (That’s because I’m trying to solve this issue for the org I work for.) But a wiki posts does sound like a good solution – assuming we can control the pinning of the wiki post directly beneath the OP. Do yo…

The wiki is always the first post in the topic. So everyone can update and curate with OP, with edit history available to all.

Thanks again. It if the wiki post is always the first in the topic, then apparently it would be placed directly above the OP, not directly below it. Is that correct? Also, though I’m not an administrator, I’m not a beginner either. I’ve posted often on the forum, and yet I don’t see the menu when I…

OK, then it looks like we’ll have to live with the wiki post being the OP in those cases. Thanks! Appreciate the help!

I shared the wiki post idea with my colleagues, including the forum moderator who created a wiki post for us to play with. The one problem is that the post we designated as a wiki does not move to the top. We haven’t experimented extensively, but having this powerful wiki feature in a topic doesn’t…

Not sure if this will work but reply and change the timestamp so it would be the oldest reply bumping it to the top.
