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…

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.

Pin automatically removed?

There’s an automatically unpin topics option in your site settings
