Question about forum posts

Hello,

I run the Speedrun Weekly group that's had this thread for a couple years now ("https://www.speedrun.com/tournaments_and_races/thread/pe7e3").

Historically we would update the first post on that thread to show the current standings. However, staff and roles have changed over time, and we would have to bug Howden to have any changes made.

We could just delete the post, but we would lose the benefit of it being the first thing you see on the thread.

Would it be possible to change ownership of the post to me, or give me an option to insert a post as the first post? Something along those lines, maybe? I'm wanted to see if any staff knew before reaching out to Pac directly.

Thanks for any help. Legs

Something like that would definitely require direct database access, so yeah you'll need to talk to an Admin about that.

Thank you, I'll get on the discord and reach out to some staff this evening.

Alternatively, We FMods could probably change some things in the post for you if necessary as a one time thing. But if its something that has to be changed more frequently, yeah its probably better to talk to Pac about it to change ownership.

Ideally, we'd have some function in which a Super Mod of a board could pin a specific post to the top of the thread. This would allow Super Mods to essentially delete the initial post and then pin another post in the same thread to the top again.
