Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-24264457-20181212184530

On December 19th, 2018, Fandom will remove the ability to highlight forums in favor of using the new announcements feature. These new notifications will be able to be seen no matter what wiki you are logged into. I don't think the move is necessary but, hey, what can you do? Fandom loves "progress," even if the community doesn't. More info: https://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:1565872

I will test the announcements feature to see if it can link to forum threads. They say it should work for message wall links so this should work the same way since they're both "Thread:#######" links.
