ABGenc Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have been using IPB for 2 months now and begun testing IPB4 a few days ago. One of the things I am not familiar is Featured Topic. I am aware its category is different and is given a star icon when set but what is the idea behind a "Featured Topic" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXII Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 There is a module that displays featured topics. You can use it to promote certain topics to a special place, e.g. on the front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABGenc Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Sounds like it is similar to announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXII Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'd say no. While you usually use announcements to adress certain issues/news/whatever to your users, you can use the feature option to honor user-created content and display it at a special place on your site.

At the moment I use "Promote to article" for such topics if it is containing some experience and profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
