Original Post Disappears, Thread Remains

[scottalanmiller]

We have a thread where the original poster posted, and someone responded to him, but the original post vanished. We can't find it to bring it back. Thoughts?

@scottalanmiller Is it possible the topic starter purged their first post? This doesn't remove the topic. But does remove first post.

[scottalanmiller]

@a_5mith theoretically. But he doesn't believe that he did.

@scottalanmiller Any moderators that could have accidentally purged it? I had a look through the API etc, might be worth looking in your database for pid:36120, see if it still exists in the DB. I believe mainPid is the postID of the first post, but I could be mistaken. @baris should be able to confirm/give you the relevent command for this, because I'm not sure.

Yeah looks like mainPid is somehow missing you can check the admin>advanced>events log to see if someone deleted post 36210. Can also check if its still in the database by

db.objects.find({"_key": "post:36210"});
