Getting notifications for a mention but can't see the post

Getting notifications for a mention but can't see the post

Does anyone know why I may have recieved an email and notification that someone has mentioned me in a post but am unable to see what the post is? I'm feeling kind of nervous seeing I've been tagged in something that I can not see, particularly given who the tag is from, and am wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what might be happening please?

Adding that it's happened twice now this morning.

Thank you.

@CheerBear It has happened to me twice this morning too. It occurred to me that perhaps the post had been removed by a moderator but to be honest, I don't have enough space in my brain to care.

the moderators will investigate and be in touch to reassure you.

If you have concerns about receiving posts from a certain individual it would probably put your mind at ease if you talk about that with a moderator. You do need to feel safe on here.

Re: Getting notifications for a mention but can't see the post

Hi @CheerBear, if you receive email notifications, you should receive the whole post in your inbox and be able to read it even if the moderator has pulled it after it was posted. However, as @Former-Member suggested, if (like me) you are just going on notifications on the site itself, it sounds like the posts you were notified about have been removed by the moderator before you got to read them. If concerned, it would be best to email the moderator about it. If they don't get back to you from the @Former-Member tag, you could try emailing team@saneforums.org. Hope this helps.
