Yesterday I received a "Topic Reply Notification". The link worked and I read the reply. Today when I click on the same link, to try the suggestion, I receive "The topic or post you requested does not exist"
Here is the url: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=8851893#8851893

That was a post (the third one) on the following: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1172302-highlight-.html
Yesterday there were three posts on that thread, today there are only the original two.

Where did that third post go?

jagdpanther,

Authors can edit their own posts at any time.
If the post is the last post in a topic, the author can also delete it.
It sounds like that happened here.

== edit ==

There is another explantation too.
Your missing post (the link works for me) takes me to a post by FranciscoJaimes who has been banned for spam posting.
A moderator has moved the post to the dustbin under the title of AI LLM spam.
I think the Dustbin forum is mods and admins only.

If you really want that post (you don't) I can copy it in a PM

NeddySeagoon, thanks. I knew you could edit a post but not remove it.
