Topic: Hidden posts?

I was looking over replies to comments when I noticed I'm getting replies to posts that won't...show what the post is. Sometimes there's no info at all, sometimes it just shows the score, regardless in both cases the posts are inaccessible for some reason. Why does this happen?

Have you tried checking if the post contain a blacklisted tag? It usually does not show the post if it contains a tags from your blacklist and you can disable the blacklist filter to see the post.

If the post is removed, usually there is an accompanying red banner with the takedown reason with it.

You can click on the timestamp of the comment to access the post itself.

As for why you can't seem to see what the post is, it is probably some temporary bug relating to loading thumbnails or a custom CSS problem.
If it was a blacklist problem, you'd see "Blacklisted" labelled over the thumbnail.

Turns out it was a bug because, low and behold, it stopped happening today. Not sure what caused it but cheers for the replies, I will keep that timestamp thing in mind if it happens again!
