Why can't I see...?

Question: Why is it that once I log in, the Retirees PDF shows me nothing but a single thread—the chat—whereas if I browse anonymously, all fifteen topics are visible (even if I can't post)?

(This wasn't the case before, which my previous posts in other threads within that same PDF clearly demonstrate.)

I only have partial access to the Politics section, so everything else should be open to me, shouldn't it?

Edit: The issue seems to have resolved itself. I find I no longer have the option to delete my own posts, only to edit them, so I would appreciate it if a moderator could delete this one for me.

New edit: It’s happening again...🤦 Is it safe to assume we're dealing with some technical glitches?

Well, maybe that’s just because you do nothing but chat.😁

It didn't used to be this way; my previous posts in other threads within that PDF prove it wasn't always like this.

I only have partial access to Politics, but everything else should still be open to me, right...?

Edit: Problem solved on my end. I can't delete my own post anymore, only edit it, so could a moderator please just delete this for me?

New edit: actually, it's happening again...🤦 Looks like some technical glitch?

I think it’s just showing you the specific thread that has new activity (which is currently just Chat). Not sure if you accidentally toggled a setting somewhere to filter it that way.

That certainly explains it 😵 (though I have no memory of ever selecting such an option. Perhaps it’s just the default setting? 🤔 It's likely that the other subforums are simply more active, which is why I didn't catch the discrepancy sooner.)

And yes, it would be a gracious gesture to offer a sincere thank you, even if it arrives somewhat belatedly🙂!

Hey, no big deal. I'm happy to help out whenever I can.
