 Forum Enhancements in Moodle 3.1 The news forum has been renamed to Announcements for newly created courses and forum discussions can be pinned to the top of the list by teachers and permalinks let you link directly to a selected post to share it. In this forum the course discussion FAQ has been pinned and you can see that although other posts have been made at a later time the course FAQ still remains at the top. Teachers can pin forum posts when creating them by scrolling down and ticking the Pin box. The discussion will then stay at the top but you can unpin it by clicking the Unpin button and the discussion will then behave as other forum discussions. Another new feature for everyone is the permalink. If you click permalink for a particular post it's highlighted as you can see here and then a direct link is made available which you can then copy from the browser bar and paste to share.
