I have a 'rogue' topic under the hidden topics page, but have no idea why it's showing there - the topic isn't hidden, and I've never hidden a post / topic (unless I've done it acidentally).

Because the topic is 60 pages long, is there any easy way of finding out what's causing it to show in hidden topics? Where does the forum flag the topic / post as hidden in the database?

Cheers!

Hot the admin pop up for the topic and check the it is not sent as a hidden topic.

No, the topic isn't set as hidden, so it must be a post inside it. I don't fancy crawling through 60 pages, so wondered if there was a flag in the database that set posts to hidden?

EDIT - I've found the offending posts, and now the topic is cleared from the hidden topics page. However, I'm still interested in where the forum flags the topics / posts as hidden. Could you shed some light on this please, Borg?

If a topic is hidden it sets a Hide field in tblTopic to true, if a post is hidden you have the same field name in tblThread
