The “Opening schools” thread is not showing up in the Quarantine Zone. > **[The Quarantine Zone](https://boards.straightdope.com/c/the-quarantine-zone/29)** > > M-m-m-my Corona(virus). And yours too. News, updates, facts, fictions (marked as such), opinions. For the more argumentative stuff, take it to the usual places (Great Debates, The Pit.) NO POLITICS. The thread exists; it just isn’t listed anymore for some reason. Is this just me or are others not seeing it as well? > [@Opening schools](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/opening-schools/854247/): > > [Science article.](https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/should-schools-reopen-kids-role-pandemic-still-mystery) Bolding mine. Update? So far, weeks later, no new surges in countries that have opened schools. ---

It’s showing up fine for me. Did you perhaps put the topic on ‘mute’ by mistake? ---

I don’t think so; isn’t that multi-click process? ---

You click the notification icon at the bottom of the scroll bar (or bottom of the page), and change the status to Watching, Tracking, Normal or Muted. Perhaps you wanted to change it to something else, and changed it to muted instead? ---

No; I didn’t change it. I’ve been posting in the thread, so I wouldn’t change it. Here’s what I see: > **[Screen-Shot-2020-08-10-at-7-40-12-PM hosted at ImgBB](https://ibb.co/VjRptM5)** > > Image Screen-Shot-2020-08-10-at-7-40-12-PM in Bomage's images album The last post in the thread was by **filmore** 2 hours ago, so it should show up in that screenshot, but it doesn’t. ETA: Yes, I checked my Muted stuff and it is not listed there or any of the other categories. ---

Go the the thread itself, since you have the direct link, and check the status. (You checked your muted categories, _not_ muted topics, because there is no direct way way to check muted topics.) ---

I know how to find the thread. The problem is that it isn’t showing up. The question is why isn’t it showing up? ---

Unless you can find it again and unmute it. One way to do that is to search for it. If you can find it, great. Unmute it and you’re golden. But another way to do that is to go to the forum you think it’s in and append ?state=muted to the end of the forum name in your browser’s address bar. So for ATMB, you’d change https://boards.straightdope.com/c/about-this-message-board/8 to https://boards.straightdope.com/c/about-this-message-board/8?state=muted That will show yo… ---

Thanks for the help; I found it. Below the thread itself, on the left, below the Share, Bookmark, Flag and Reply buttons. I must have clicked it accidentally while reading **filmore** ’s post. Appreciate the patience and help, **GreenWyvern**.
