Does anyone know of a way to "pin" topics to the top of the forum?

Thanks!

Hi Wes,

see here http://docs.moodle.org/en/Sticky_post

The short answer is no - use the introductory paragraph. If there are longer discussions that can't be summarised in this form - link to them from the introductory paragraph. I guess it makes sense to some extent, but I still find myself wanting sticky posts sometimes.

hth,

Lael

I have found that users don't always read the introductory paragraph.  A supplmentary approach can be to put your important message in a resources glossary with a suggestive concept name that is likely to invoke auto-text linking in the posts.
I have seen nudgin on some forums by posting a blank reply to push the post to the top but that's labour-intensive and a bit irritating to other users.
Stickyposts would be a good idea though.
