RelicSystem Yes, I actually looked into the best answer extension because it seemed similar enough to what I wanted that I could imagine being able to twist it to fit my needs, but its use case is too specific.
I'm not that invested in exactly where the pinned posts are displayed (at the top of the comments, in the sidebar, attached to the first post... whatever's easiest to implement really) but something like this is indeed what I was envisioning. And I'd imagine the option to pin/unpin a comment would be added to the dropdown menu below each post.
huseyinfiliz Hm, I hadn't looked into that extension. I still think pinning posts would be much more elegant, but this could be made into something serviceable for at least the roleplaying section of my forum.
I'm having trouble with the validation, though: my first thought was to restrict the field to a list of post links separated by spaces, and I came up with this, but this regex doesn't seem to work (I get an error that the field is invalid):
regex:/^(((\Qhttps://\E){0,1})(\Qforumlink/d/\E)([0-9])+-.+?\/([0-9])+( )*)+/
I'm not very familiar with laravel validation rules and have only limited experience with regex, but what I wrote does match if I put it into https://regex101.com/ (replacing "forumlink" with the link to my forum). Have you any idea what is wrong here?
