Be patient. I suspect the site is still recovering from yesterday's outage. It may also help if you clear your browser cache as you may just be getting the 404 page in the browser.

Every titled item in all the forums is followed by this word.
The behavior that ensues:
1. click on the word PIN
2. Icon of PIN reappears, item is "pinned".
3. Click on the icon again, item is "unpinned", icon remains as obligate "pin".
I've never had much reverence for the idea of "pinning" a post mainly because pinning has never been implemented correctly anywhere that I've seen (when a post is pinned (typically "opened" and made to remain in the "opened" state)) ... if I navigate away from that page then return, the item that was remaining open is now neither open nor pinned.

1. Do you have uBlocker or other add-ins that mess around with a site's HTML?
2. Anything in particular stopping you from upgrading FireFox to v83?

I think I have found the problem ...
The "pin" icon (which turns out to be a low-viz rendition of the colored "pinned" icon and is perhaps transparent as well (arghh -> don't get me started with .png & tranparency)) is located on the server at:
"https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/images/pin.png"
BUT, the icon won't load when the .HTML itself is refering to this path:
"https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/pin.png"
Note the capitalization of the "Images" folder.
As the page loads, that icon "img" weighs in as img (22 x 11) not 13 x 13 image pin.png and with, of course, the Developer/Inpsector tootip text of "could not load the image" because the path can't be found. Copy and paste the capital "I" image folder into the URL space and return and one gets:
Error[^]
The redirect to a CP error page called:
"https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Common/Error.aspx"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, is it me? Or is it the small "i" image of the HTML that needs to be upgraded?
Anybody else seeing this hoopoe?

... wow, a minute and thirty-three seconds later ... all better!

About that "... and PIN is back (12/05/20 @ 1434 PT) ... see my idea for fix above (below?)"
(that "error" ->
Ticket:
Error:
An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed.
Abort, Retry, Fail?_
so, no actual Ticket just a prompt to DOS exit that is unactionable)
There is one thing that has changed in the past four days though. Instead of being redirected to the error page when one attempts to save the "PIN" (image/Image) one gets a direct link (same path as complained about above) and a chance to save the PIN.PNG as presumably a .png. But it's not a .png, it's an .html/.htm now.
Hope this info in some way helps and doesn't just make me out to be an arm-chair quarterback
[EDIT]
In both IE and Edge, the webpages that contain posts (I'm running TIGHT/THREADVIEW/50 on FF) with that pinning feature display no low-viz pushpin image at all when first loaded. Just a space which gets hooked by any mouse-over done just to the right of the title.

They're both low-viz (no color only outline of object).
When I logged in this morning, the word PIN was appearing. Then 20 minutes later the proper function was back. So perhaps you're right about the cache or ... I thought ... "maybe there are two servers and my first login occured before a second server synched in and took over the task of dishing out pages (one has image the other Image)".
But anyway, if it keeps coming back and is this silly intermittant stuff it's barely annoying so I'll just get jiggie with it. Whatevs.
Thanks Chris.

I can see the article, and it also notes that there is a draft to view or edit.
However, there was a major outage earlier today, please be patient. The administrators are busy trying to fix things.

Thanks a lot, Richard, for the clarification.
I'll be patiently waiting for the administrators to fix the things.

It's there now. Be aware the site has just recovered from a major outage.

... when reporting abusers/trolls/spammers? Someone who posts spam on the site is surely abusing the site, so why do we flag them as spam rather than abusive? Are the different classifications actually used for any purpose? Would it not be simpler to have just one flag to click rather than hover - slide - click?

I guess "hover, slide, click" gives some protection from "click ... oh bugger".
