Hi, I noticed "Other Things Open Source" is missing from forum when I'm not logged in. I tested it using Android Firefox and desktop Firefox in private mode. Is this intentional or is this a bug? |

lekto,
It's a design feature.
Individual forums can be restricted to different user privilege level with non logged in users (guests) being the lowest level. _________________ Regards,

Yes, it is intentional. Some subforums are only accessable for logged-in users. |

What's the reasoning behind that? Since the search function here is broken and Google can't crawl it, the posts in there will just disappear into a black hole, never to be found. |
