| 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.

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.  |
