I have search the forums for a long time and I cannot find the answer to this questions.

I want to create a widget to display one particular thread or post and no others. I have tried many thing trying to get this to work with no success at all. Is this possible and if so can someone point me in the right direction, please.

How about a basic html widget and just post the link to the thread/post?

What I want to do is have one particular post display on the front page of the CMS all the time.
Before you say it, I know I could make a HTML file do that but I want it to be a post that can be edited by a person (because the info changes) without giving them admin access. If I have it pull the post in then they can edit it when need be.
I hope that makes sense.

Then you will need to write a query to grab that particular post and spit it out in the widget. Have you tried to write that query? How far have you gotten in writing this widget?

I have not event started writing the widget yet. I was hoping it would be something easy. I have never messed with writing queries. I was hoping if I knew the post number that I could just somehow stick that post number into the widget in some easy manner.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
