Description of problem
Hello, I'm an admin at Reylo Skyforum, link attached.We have a popular ongoing discussion topic called "Discussion: Spoilers/Rumors", which is in our "The Last Jedi" sub-forum. We've had 17 iterations of this topic, and the latest one suddenly disappeared at some point between 4am and 8am today. I went through the AP and looked at the "Last Actions" tool and none of the moderators or admins deleted it or moved it.
To provide some context, when the topic gets full at page 40, it automatically locks and splits itself into a new version. It usually takes a month for the topic to get full and split. I or the mods at our forum then rename the old version of the topic to "Archive: Discussion: Spoilers/Rumors - #", and then move it into an archive sub-forum called Niima Outpost. I am including a screenshot of the archive sub-forum so that you can see what the previous versions of this topic look like. The most recent auto-split was of # 16, and it happened on 5/20/17, so the new topic (# 17) should have had at least 2 more weeks before getting full, but now it has abruptly disappeared.
We are wondering what happened to it and if the posts can be recovered?
Thanks for your help!
