Question Is it possible to sticky a post within a topic?

Hi everyone!
I wonder if there is a way of setting the first message of a topic in Kunena after its creation.
Suppose I have a topic with 3 messages in this order:

A
B
C

I want to write a new post X and set it as the first one for that topic, so that the new order is:

X
A
B
C

Is it possibile?

Thank you!

Does this topic even partially address your question: Do sticky topics remain in the same order even when they have received a reply? . Topics are sorted in descending chronological order of when some last posted a message to them. That way, you keep the most recent discussions at the top of the list. "Stickying" a topic allows you to give certain topics a higher priority in the category index.

I'm not referring to the topics/discussions order but to the messages one!

Thank you for helping me understand better your question. Perhaps, instead, this topic may be more helpful to you? Last post First?

Even that does not resolve your specific case. Kunena offers you two choices (on a user-by-user basis).

A (which was the first message in a topic)
B
C (the most recently-posted message in a topic)

or

C (the most recently-posted message)
B
A

If you add another message to the topic, the result will either be

A
B
C
X

or

X
C
B
A

However, if I correctly understand your question, you want this:

X (whenever it was posted, to remain "sticky" at the top of the topic
A (the "original" start of the topic
B
C (the most recent update)

or

X
C
B
A

No, I don't believe this is easily achievable in the current version of Kunena and there are no specific plans (that I'm aware of) to do this in the near future. Does that answer your question?

Yes, you answered my question, thank you!
So I suppose the only solution is to operate on the database records: would changing the message date solve my problem?

Not really. I mean, it might be a workaround in your case if your users view topics under the [default] oldest-post-first approach of but you will produce different outcomes if your users choose the newest-post-first option. Your "sticky" post will then be the last one, if you follow my meaning.

I think we'd all probably agree that there's not a big call for this kind of feature in discussion forum software; it's not been my personal experience in over 20 years of using discussion forums. I would recommend that, if you have important information that you want to draw your community's attention to, use sticky topics and refer your community to those things ... like we do here at www.kunena.org . ;)
