Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-26339491-20180810234304

Hey Respawnables fans and wiki members!

Your community has been using forum highlights to notify users of important posts. FANDOM has recently released a new feature called Announcements that also helps you get the word out. You can use it to link to any important content (blog post, article, file page, etc.) and are no longer limited to just highlighting forum posts!

Please find the details on what Announcements can do on the Announcements help page. Also, this blog post talks about what Announcements can do that highlights couldn't.

As you might know, FANDOM is phasing out the forums and replacing them with the much more mobile-friendly Discussions. Even sooner than that, we'll also be retiring the highlights function everywhere. Now that you no longer need the forums to keep your community members updated, you have the option to copy your forum content to Discussions and going forward, have your conversations there instead.

Interested? If your community would like to make this change now, let me know!
