Thread Not Found (Unless I Log Out)

So this is a rather odd situation. I went to check up on this thread...

WotC - WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

Cynthia Williams, who has been president of Wizards of the Coast for the last two years, will be leaving the company at the end of the month, according to an SEC filing dated April 15th. Hasbro is already looking for somebody to step into the role. Williams worked for Microsoft on the Gaming...

...only for it to be missing entirely, as though it had vanished. When I went to my post history, it confirmed that I had posted in that thread, but when I clicked on my posts (i.e. to send me to my posts in that thread), I was instead sent to a "Oops! Thread not found" message.

Even stranger is that, when I log out, I can find the thread no problem. It's like it's been set to be invisible specifically to me.

I've never heard of something like this happening before, so I'm guessing it's either some sort of glitch or there's a setting in my account that got accidentally toggled somehow.

@darjr any ideas how to fix this?

It’s because Morrus is now ignoring you and it was his thread.

I can see it, if that helps.

The same happened to me and at least one other poster regarding the "One thing I hate about the sorcerer" thread. Inaccessible while I'm logged in.

The person starting the thread likely has put you on Ignore, or vice versa.

Even if that's the case, the board architecture should make it so that you still see the first post in a given thread (and thus the thread itself), regardless of whether or not the person who started the thread has you on ignore.

This would be a fairly recent change in board behavior. Previously, if someone had you on ignore you could see a thread they made and the first post they made (but wouldn't see any other posts by them in the thread). The only time a whole thread would be hidden is you had the OP on ignore (but the thread would still be accessible).

@Alzrius

My guess is you were banned from that thread.

No, I wasn't. When that happens, you can still access the thread (and like posts), it just says that "you have insufficient privileges to reply here."

I thought this was a random issue. I've seen it before as well.
