Why did my previous post and replies suddenly disappear?

I made a post 20 minutes ago and now it’s gone. I cannot find it or any previous post I’ve made replies on. I know it was active because I tried to reply after to better explain a few points, it said your comment cannot be saved right now, and when I refreshed the page it just proofed and disappeared… WTH?

That sounds exactly like a forum bug, not something you did or did not do. If a post is removed for cause, you get an email from the mods stating a reason. It will go to the email address you use to sign in here.


Mornings seem to be a bad time for the forum software. I often get log-outs or strange behaviors early in the day and then everything is fine.


For threads you authored, followed or participated in, you can see the last ~three months in your Subscriptions:


Reaction66’s Subscriptions - Apple Community


Note the "Filter" function at the top the list. It helps.


For older posts you must rely on a site-delimited web search from your favorite search engine. Your search string would be:


site:discussions.apple.com "Reaction66"


👉🏻 NOTE: there is NO space between the colon (:) after "site" and the "d" in "discussions."


Anyway, I think it likely that you were "bug-bit," not targeted for something you did.
