Hi all, 

Okay, here's something strange that's happened a few times (and it happened again just now). I get a notification that someone has replied to a thread I'm subscribed to. I click the notification and go to the thread, but there is no post! 

Is this a bug? Or does this just mean whoever posted has just deleted their post between the notification appearing and my clicking on it? 

Weird. It's screwing with my head. Thoughts? 

Bump. This happened to me earlier. On a reply to your post on a previous thread. 

Maybe someone is deleting their reply?

That's definitely possible. I suspect that may be the case, but this has happened to me multiple times, so I thought maybe I'd see if there was a bug or something. It's good to know I'm not the only one experiencing it, because I wondered if it was just my settings or something! 

Thanks for the response! 

Ok i just deleted a post. Did you get two notifications?

I did! I guess that mystery's been solved!  

Fine detective work, Flamebeard!  



Thanks! (I can now sleep, haha!)

I know this says resolved, but I just wanna point out that sometimes posts get caught up in some kind of moderation limbo. I've had notifications that go nowhere, but if I click on them a few days later suddenly the post has appeared and it links fine.

So it could be a user deleting their post, a moderator deleting a post, or a post stuck in limbo. Not sure if there's any other reasons.

That's good to know! Thanks!
