If you all hadn't noticed yet, there is a "feature" which leaves blog posts that are published to the forums virtually pinned to the top until they get a reply.  You won't see this in the newest topics feed - you need to go into the individual main forums like Off Topic or General to see this.  Take a look at this:

Bug
Bug

















You'll see that the feature/bug leaves blog posts published to forums pinned at the top of the list of topics until they get at least one reply.  Please help keep the forums clutter-free by posting replies to these blogs when you see them, at least until it's fixed.  In theory this is a nice idea to ensure that blogs get exposure, but when there are 15+ five day old blog posts in General discussion pinned to the top of the board, that constitutes a problem. 

Thanks!

Thanks for the info...this has been a problem for a while, but I didn't know that replying would "fix" it. What could be called post-whoring can now be called "serious business"!

No, no. This isn't a bug.... it's an *Ahem* Feature! Yeah! It's to make the community a more friendly place and to make sure no blog goes without a single post!

Yeah...well be that as it may, when General Discussion is full of about 15 blog posts and no other posts can be seen, it's no longer a feature and is now a bug.

to avoid that weird pixxelation you are getting on that ScreenCap you need to save as a PNG file instead of a JPEG.

I promise to comment on more blogs MB.

I was wondering why my blog posts kept sticking at the top. That wasn't my intention. Good to know. I'll post a reply myself next time to immediatly unlock it after setting it up.
