In a strange (and to me controversial) move, J1.6 shows Unpublished articles in the front end, if you are logged in there as a super user. To make matters worse, it also shows Trashed articles.

What were they thinking??

Haven't noticed that one myself...

Aren't the unpublished items suppose to have a different background colour so that users can distinguish what is unpublished, live and trashed or did I dream that up?

Peter

yep you are right

Dex,

J1.5 also show unpublished and expired content to Super Admins (it's been driving me mad on this site). Don't think it shows trashed content.

To me it's been a "feature" for unpublished articles as it allows a final visual refining before publishing the content item. Super handy for me.

Right. I dont use it that way, but I can see it would somewhat compensate for the lack of versioning. Altho only if you're super user.

Mind you, showing Trash just plain doesnt make sense to me.

I agree with you on trashed articles. Time to empty the trash, perhaps?
