So, what do you think of the new board?

I think the idea is that pinned threads are mostly for new users who need some help to get started. Once they’ve read through the thread, it gets unpinned since they have seen the information. But that isn’t how pinned threads are used here. So I changed the default . Now pinned topics stay pinned until you explicitly take that action. (Or, people can still turn on the auto unpinning if they prefer.)
