Hm, ok, that means pinned posts of other subforums are not shown in the main forum overview page ("Recently Active Posts")  ... ? Because I don't see the post there anymore.

Yes, I got that, thanks

But is it intended then that pinned posts of other subforums don't show up under "Recently Active Posts"?

If you find the most recent posts in the same manner I do (which is what I think lyssailcor is talking about), then you click on forums and then general. Once I saw the previous post I noticed that if I instead click recent posts in the top left it gives a different listing, presumably pulling from the pinned topics as well as the standard posts. Not sure of the reasoning for the distinction, but I am not a website person.

Well the recent posts are in the right of the screen. The forums got an update recently; because people were asking to seperate every other game from galactic civilizations.

I click on recent to respond to the more recent posts, and the galciv version 3.3 has been getting a lot of activity, but the posts were redesigned it took me a day to figure out the format.
