Hi,
I was replying to a topic and suddenly it disappeared from the list and I can't even find it in "Latest".
The topic was this:
"NE555 Monostable not turning off - #6 by holzerelectronics".
There were already 4 or 5 answers in the thread. Why did the thread disappear?
Oops! This page does not exist or is private.
I've had this happen when mods merged two or more threads by the same author, about the same project.
Go to the author, if you can find them, and look at what current threads they have. If you don't know who it was, well...
Could it be an issue that it is not specifically about Arduino (it is my thread btw, thank you for answering 
)
It is me and it is my first post on the forums I am wondering why it vanished as well
What subforum were you posting it in? There's a general electronics subforum, and I don't see why they'd squash it if it was over there. Usually, even if it isn't topical, it's allowed within reason, based on what I've seen.
General Electronics
Upper right hand of your screen, do you have a "1" beside your "H" - if so, click on that, you might have a note from the mods about your post.
It had the general electronics as well as an Arduino tag, I thought I could only use them together.
It's also possible you had a link in the post that was considered 'off', or spam, so the thread 'went away'.
The only link I put in there was a link to the datasheet of my relay + a few images.
Don't know what mechanism took you off, but newbies have some severe restrictions. You need to read some posts and do some other stuff before your trust level gets upgraded, then you can post more than one item, etc. etc.
Here's how you solve that. You're at Trust Level 0. Please visit this page:
New User Limits
As explained there, you need to do something to achieve Trust Level 1.
I am already Trust Level 1, dunno what happened, I hope it reappears
No idea, then. Good luck!
Hi @holzerelectronics. I apologize for the inconvenience.
The forum's automated spam filter sometimes produces false positives, which result in those topics temporarily being hidden unjustly. This is why a team of human moderators review every action taken by the automated system.
So I think in the end these false detections are always corrected, but there is an unfortunate delay between the time of the spam detection and when a moderator reviews the action.
This has now happened and your topic has already been restored so you should be able to access it again.
Regards,
pert
Thank you very much!
The same (?) problem was reported in Moved topics disappearing?.
You should see
Moving topics is for sure one action that can trigger it.
I can reply to an OP that the topic will be moved and next move it. After the move, the topic sometimes becomes "corrupt".
If I change the sequence to move followed by reply and it happens, I can't reply because the topic was (temporarily) hidden.
If there are already replies, the opening post disappears and the replies stay. Refreshing the page results in the OOPS page.
This topic was automatically closed 180 days after the last reply. New replies are no longer allowed.
