I found weird stuff. I pinned the topic on the top and I read it then the pin automatically unlocked, the topic not on the top anymore. (logged in as admin) But the topic still pinned on top if I visit as non registered user and always stay on top no matter how many times I read the topic. why is it like that? ---

Pinned topics get unpinned once they have been read. Anons don’t get read-tracking, because ain’t nobody got the DB space for that. So pinned topics never get marked as “read” by anons. ---

If you don’t want that behavior you can go to your [https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface](https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface) and uncheck the “Other - Automatically unpin topics when I reach the bottom.” option ---

that’s the option I was looking for but it only applies to my account? how can I apply this setting to all the members? ---

But that only applies to new members who join, to update existing members you have to use a rake task and update their preferences. ---
