I created a forum, but mistakenly left on the "announcements" piece for the users. So I had one user who created a post and it also shows up as an announcement "above" the rest of the posts.

I have turned off the ability for the users to create an announcement.

I now want to remove the one poster's announcement, but leave his post in the forum (with the replies he has). Is this possible and would you be able to explain how I can do this?

Thank you very much!

I don't know if there is a way to do this using the UI provided in Active Forums, but it looks like it's just a matter of changing a 1 to a 0 in the database. If you have access to the database, take a look at the activeforums_Topics table. Find the topic in question (by TopicId is the easiest) and change the value of the IsAnnounce field from 1 to 0.

This comes with all the usual disclaimers, like if your topic disappears, catches fire, or something else horrible happens, you're on your own. I'm sure someone in here will confirm or correct me.
