'Hidden' discussions.

There seems to be a new discussion section entitled 'hidden'!  I looked at a discussion on cassette toilet warning light malfunction and found that previous posts had gone ( flushed away?).

"Hidden
Hidden and removed"

Is what appears if you click on the link!

BoleroBoy - when I first clicked your link it did take me to a 'section' called 'Hidden' with four posts.................... but the URL you posted above was what showed in my browser.  Now when I click it I get to the proper thread with eleven posts, the last one by Pippah.  I can't get back to the thread with only four posts, either logged in or not.

val, thats what happened to me, only i logged in between the two accesses, perhaps i would have got thebsame as you even if not logging in....

once i had been 'transferred' to the correct post, i couldnt then find the 'hidden' thread other than by using an old link in my 'back' button listing...

DK, perhaps when you come across one of these duplicates you should delete the rogue thread rather than move it somewhere....is it the mods that are putting them in Ask the Expert?

while they still exist, even though 'hidden' they seem to still be linked and therefore causing navigational issues.

Why not try deleting the 'hidden' Thetford cassette thread and see if the mess disappears.....nothing to lose, surely?

Interestingly the URL for the 'hidden' thread is this one

https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-together/discussions/ask-the-expert/ask-the-expert-live/thetford-cassette-compartment/?er=P425147#P425147

and the correct thread with many more replies is

https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-together/discussions/ask-the-expert/ask-the-expert-live/thetford-cassette-compartment/

so definitely not just a simple duplication of threads!

A thread about shower tray cracked appears on the latest discussion page 3 yes three times. One has no replies one has 2 replies and one ValDa has written about another thread so see under motorhomes. I know not which sections these are listed under as the latest discussions only give titles of threads poster and time.

Why are errors blamed on users? Surely if the website was fit for purpose this wouldn't be possible? I am far from IT literate but whatever site I used or wherever I've worked such hiccups are sorted so as not to occur again 😉

And there is a third, unanswered Cassette Toilet thread in the Ask the Expert section.

It's URL is https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-together/discussions/ask-the-expert/ask-the-expert-live/thetford-cassette-compartment-2/

Has anyone reported this? I've lost the will to get involved! wink

Brue

The answer is yes and it was highlighted as soon as it started happening and I am sure someone from HQ acknowledged it.
