posts in the welcome section

hi.

I am just wondering if this is normal?

no matter what forum I click on (proton chat, mental health, games), at the top their are always the posts from the welcome section. I can get to the threads in the forum of choice, but after the welcome messages- really confused me when I first joined!

why is this and should it be happening?

thanks

Its because they are pinned posts , you get used to them after a while

Yeah, they get unpinned after a little while. It's just so important threads get noticed more.

yeah because they're pinned posts, we pin the posts for new members like that so more members see when a new member joins and posts in there and are more easily able to welcome them if they'd like, we only keep them pinned for a short time
