Open Threads should be pinned to the frontpage if you have the “Include Personal Blogposts” checkbox enabled. So for anyone who has done that, they should be pretty noticeable.
Thanks for that! You’re right, I did not have “include Personal Blogposts” checked. I can now see that the Open Thread is pinned. IDK if I found it back in the day, unclicked it, and forgot about it or if that’s just the default. In any case, I appreciate the clarification.
Though you saying otherwise does make me update that something in the current setup is wrong.
Turns out the experience described above wasn’t a site-problem anyway; it was just my habit of going straight to the “all posts” page, instead of either a) editing my front page so “latest posts” show up higher on my screen or b) actually scrolling down to look at the latest posts. What can I say for myself except beware trivial inconveniences?
