I just responded to a thread in Calculus & Beyond. Then I noticed a typo in the dummy variable so I clicked to edit my response. Got an "invalid thread" message and upon returning noticed the thread was gone. What gives?
Disappearing Threads in Calculus & Beyond: What Causes Them?
- Thread starter LCKurtz
- Start date
In summary, the conversation was about a thread in the Calculus & Beyond forum where the speaker noticed a typo in their response and tried to edit it, but got an "invalid thread" message and found out the thread was gone upon returning. The other speaker explained that it was likely deleted by a Math Mentor for not following PF rules and encouraged the speaker to report such posts instead of responding. The conversation then shifted to joking about the speaker being "behind everything that happens."

It looks like it was being deleted by a Math Mentor because no effort was shown in the post. That's against the PF rules. When you see such a post, please Report it rather than respond. Thanks.
