Is it possible to highlight a post in a forum to really bring attention to it?

Something like this?

You can pin a topic in a forum which would have it always on top of that forum.

You could then change the color of pinned topics somehow in your theme. Theme customizations would be outside our scope of support though, I’m afraid.

Thanks, however what I would like is to be able to highlight only one specific posts, even if I have multiple pinned ones. I suppose it's a feature request then.

The image you attached shows a topic in forum view, hence Jim’s reply.

Sorry for the confusion, my mistake. I meant I would like to highlight only one specific topic (like on the screenshot), even when multiple topics are pinned.

Easy enough via plugin. Probably there is also some way to make it via CSS but that’s not to me.

Thanks! Is there such a plug-in out there?

Not that I’m aware. Drop a message if you want me to make it for you.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind. 

For now I ended up adding the following custom CSS to do it: 

li[data-rowid="145141"] {
  background-color:#fcf7d7;
}

For now I ended up adding the following custom CSS mode to do it: 

li[data-rowid="145141"] {
  background-color:#fcf7d7;
}

That's the easiest and most logical way to handle it.
