  • Thread notification for non-existent threads

    Hi,

    every now and again Ill get a thread notification email about a new topic, such as this one just now:

    A new topic, "VBM Domobar Piccolo (Coffee Hardware For Sale)", has been posted to a board you are watching.

    View it at http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1282008232

    Regards,
    The coffeesnobs.com.au team
    however following the link takes me to the main page instead. Also, the topic doesnt exist in the "for sale" section.

    Im guessing this is because its been deleted already (for some policy reason I guess) but it would be nicer to see a page saying "The topic VBM Domobar Piccolo has been deleted".

    Sometimes I open 5 or 6 pages at once from my inbox, and 2 or 3 will take me straight to the main page, so it gets confusing at times...

    Is it just me?

    Im guessing in this case it was because the OP deleted the post as this one with slightly different wording appeared: http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1282011326

      Yep, if the person deletes their post then that will happen. In fact the example above the post was deleted twice before they settled on the one that is there now.

      So its not a non-existant thread... you were just too slow (or the email was).
      ;D

        Right, I didnt think of the OP deleting it themselves - is there an option to show a "thread deleted" message? I had a quick look around the YaBB forums but couldnt find anything related.

        thanks

          Kinda defeats the purpose of delete.
          ;D

          Nah, it is what it is.
