Hi there, I've setup a private forum that members can post in and see their own topics, but not other users. Admins/staff can see everything in there. But I'm curious if there's a way to show like a pinned post in that forum. I've tried pinning a post and featuring it but no one can see it besides myself and other admins. Is this possible to do, and if so how would I go about this? Thank you!
