Pinning Replies Should Be Added For Topic Creators

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to find important replies without reading or scrolling to find it.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my experience using the forum because I could have a smoother experience.

For example, someone has details about something very important in a reply section and it’s burried under tons of replies

You could update your main post with a link to the reply(s) that you feel that the reader may need to read

Linking to a post is not the same as pinning a post. People will usually see a pinned post rather than clicking a link to go to a so called “pinned” post.

she says it correct. pinning a reply is a big різниця imo.

You meant to say “difference”.

What benefits does having a “pinned post” feature have compared to linking them into the topic (or marking as solved)? The only difference I see is visual aesthetic.

Where have you seen people “usually” doing this? It is not a feature in Discourse.

it’s basic knowledge. if it was youtube for example or rawblocks devf you think they’d click the link? no they would probably see the pinned comment beforehand.

You’re comparing a forum with a comment section on a video sharing website, apples with oranges. On YouTube, you cannot embed another post natively to your original post.

Roblox themselves pin important replies by quoting them on top of their original post:

This should solve your use case. Please explain if it doesn’t.

That is an update, not a pinned reply.

They pinned it with the label “update”. You could use different terms.

I have a feeling you’re trying to justify a feature without justification - leading to unproductive discourse - so I’ll disengage at this point.

If you do have shortcomings with the quoted post method and care to elaborate, I’d be happy to discuss further.

negative, ‘comrade’. i will not

also mentions this not just youtube :upside_down_face:
