How best to ovveride old forum post to be able to update changelog nicely??
Random question, I'm updating an old (2013 last update) viewtopic.php?t=31932 campaign with the blessing of the authors, and I want to be able to post updates and discussions etc in the forum channel.
But obviously I can't edit the original message where people normally store the updates and summary.
And trying to do so in the discussion works, but is kinda janky. Just do that?
Shall I just make a new post? Though that creates duplicates when searching, which is not ideal...
Or is there some other better way?

Just create a new thread and post a link to it in the old thread.

There are a lot of campaigns with multiple topics for different versions, and people usually manage to find the right one.UntrustworthyGM wrote: August 16th, 2026, 1:06 am Shall I just make a new post? Though that creates duplicates when searching, which is not ideal...
Example:
Invasion from the Unknown (1.14.4) for Wesnoth 1.6 ONLY
Invasion from the Unknown (legacy version)
Invasion from the Unknown 1.90.8 [Wesnoth 1.12]
Invasion from the Unknown 2.2.0 [Wesnoth 1.18.x & 1.19.22+]
I would just put something like "Wesnoth 1.18/1.19" in the title to make it clear that it is the newest topic.

Also, you should update the topic_id in the add-on itself to point to the new topic.
