This topic is about a user who noticed that their post about the "downsides to irrigation" disappeared from the active feed on a forum. They were concerned about why it vanished and whether it was removed, even though they could still see it in their personal feed.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Other members can still see the thread, so it's likely a site glitch rather than the post being deleted.

2. Posts are usually removed only if they are considered "heated" or break forum rules. Otherwise, they remain on the site.

3. When a thread stops receiving replies, it drops off the "active" or "recent" lists, which means notifications for it also stop.

4. To find older threads:
- Click on the "Forum" tab, choose the specific forum category, and scroll to find the post.
- Use the headings at the top of the page (like Trending, Social, Ostomy, Photos) and select "Ostomy" to locate the post.

5. If someone adds a new reply to an old post, it can reappear in the active list.
