The discussion revolves around pinned topics disappearing in Discourse 1.5. sebastianh reports that topics previously pinned are no longer visible, even though they were set to stay sticky. fefrei explains that topics are automatically unpinned for users after they read them, a behavior that can be disabled in user settings or site-wide. sebastianh seeks a way to keep topics pinned globally for everyone, which fefrei clarifies is still possible, as the feature is designed to allow users to unpin topics for themselves. codinghorror and cpradio add that search terms like in:pinned can help locate pinned topics.
So before 1.5 I had something like
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?
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
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:
I believe we have a search term for is:pinned?
Close it is in:pinned and in:unpinned
