    Apparently I drained a thread. I know there is an option on the settings page to undrain, but when I click it, all it does is reload the settings page. Nothing changes. Thread still can't be seen unless I logout.

    What am I doing wrong?

    It's at the very bottom of the settings page

    Yes, but it doesn't do anything. I tried another browser with no difference.

    I will look into the undrain links on the settings page not working. I just tried and there indeed seems to be an issue with them.

    Did you know you can now also undrain individual threads. There's one catch: you need to know the original URL of the thread. (you can find out by logging out and viewing Pinside as a guest, then locate the thread and copy the URL). When you paste that in the location bar to load the thread directly the thread will load normally. Now scroll all the way down to the bottom and find the "undrain this thread" button (with the garbage can icon).

    Drain is clogged

    Thank you, Robin! Good tip... I'll undrain in that way.

    Robin, the "Drained Topics" section on my Settings page is now empty, but the actual threads that were un-drained still don't show up in the Forum list. FYI.

    I just tested this by draining a thread and then undraining it again, through the settings screen. All worked well on my end. Could you please try again - maybe the issue was cache-related?

    And if you go to a drained thread directly (pasting the URL in the address bar), what does the drain button at the bottom of the page say? Does it say "Drain thread" or "Undrain thread"?

    I figured it out. It did undrain, but I had the OP on my ignore list. So I still couldn't see it. Cleared him and all is well. Sorry for the confusion.
