I have been posting regularly in a thread in The Game Room titled, [Mass Effect Legendary - my thoughts while I play these games (spoilers as I play)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mass-effect-legendary-my-thoughts-while-i-play-these-games-spoilers-as-i-play/941984)

I posted to that thread only minutes ago (as of the time of this post):

But looking at the thread list for this topic it is not even on the list (this screenshot was taken only a few minutes ago from the time of this post):

I don’t think I have been banned. If I was I missed the notice and I can still post there.

FWIW all other threads I am in (and otherwise) are listed as expected and are normal.

What am I doing wrong?

At the very bottom of the thread: do you have it set to Muted (the options are Watching, Tracking, Normal, Muted)?

Yup! Thanks! That was it.

I have no idea how it got that way. I didn’t even know that was a thing and never clicked on it intentionally. I must’ve done it by accident somehow.

Thanks for the help.

Problem solved.
