Using Google Groups PIN's and More

[TonyM]

Folks,

It has come to my attention that pins are not private in Google Groups and whilst I have pinned some I cant seem to see how to unpin. Or reverse Display at top.

This raises the larger Questions about PIN, Completed Flag etc... The problem I have is between mobile and desktop access to these forums these choices appear sometimes and not others. It seems inconsistent.

I am not an admin of this group so can not look behind the scenes, but we need to resolve this once and for all and document it somewhere linked to in the group info. 

Any tips please.

Regards

Tony
