So before 1.5 I had something like [image] But now they’re gone and I have no idea how to bring them back. If I am logged out, I can see them. There are two settings hidden in Discourse about auto-unpinning or something, I disabled that, no effect. I mean they are supposed to be sticky. I am puzzled. What am I missing?

It is pinned for everyone! Users have always been able to un-pin a topic for themselves. This now happens automatically when they finish reading the topic. Any user can disable this in his settings, and you can default-disable this setting for new users in site settings. You can also permanently disable this feature in site settings, as explained here: [image] Disabling automatic topic unpinning? Feature The “automatically_unpin_topics” setting is used to globally enable/disable the feature while the “default_topics_automatic_unpin” setting is used to set the default user preference. You might want to have the feature enabled globally but defaulted to off for your new users.

You read them, so they became unpinned for you. [image] sebastianh: There are two settings hidden in Discourse about auto-unpinning or something, I disabled that, no effect. This disabled auto-unpinning in the future, but it doesn’t re-pin topics. Simply search for the topic and re-pin it for you: [image] This feature can also be disabled by each user: [image]

Not sure if I understood this yet. I want the topic to be pinned globally as before, for everyone. I didn’t see this in any changelog for 1.5, what happened here exactly

I believe we have a search term for is:pinned?

Close it is in:pinned and in:unpinned lib/search.rb main @clean_term = term @in_title = false term = process_advanced_search!(term) if !@order && SiteSetting.search_default_sort_order != SearchSortOrderSiteSetting.value_from_id(:relevance) @order = SearchSortOrderSiteSetting.id_from_value(SiteSetting.search_default_sort_order) end if term.present?
