Pin a forum or post

A pinned forum or post remains at the top of the list regardless of how many new forums or posts appear or how the list is sorted.

To perform this task, you must be an admin user.

You may want to pin a forum or post to increase its visibility to participants if:

• The forum is new and you want to encourage participation.
• The post outlines forum rules.
• The post is an announcement to participants.

Note: This task cannot be performed in mobile view.

• Pin a forum.
  1. Go to the list of forums.
  2. In the upper right corner of a forum, click the pin.
     
     The pin changes from white to red, which indicates the forum is now pinned.
  3. Optional: To pin multiple forums, repeat step b for each forum.
  4. Optional: Manually rearrange multiple pinned forums to get the order that you want.
     Hover over a pinned forum until your cursor changes to a crosshair, and then select the forum and drag it into the desired position.
  5. Optional: To unpin a forum, click the pin again.
     
     The pin changes from red to white, which indicates the forum is now unpinned.
