    A fairly minor issue, but I've seen it happen a few times now. It looks like the CMS is pushing front page news posts to live, but forgetting to create the associated forum threads - or make the associated forum threads visible to general users - at the same time. I suspect the latter, as all affected articles point to seemingly valid unique thread numbers.
    Currently affected articles (as of 2020-03-31 1825 BST ):

    Hmm. Very odd. Thought I'd manage to work out what was going on. I'll have another look today

    I manually moved them over.Can't work out why suddenly the scheduled tasks aren't working. Especially as the threads are created. They just don't get moved to the public area upon the article being public.

    EDIT: writing that out I think I've just twigged what's wrong. Think I've got a fix

    Sorry, mate.

    You could try and disabling the script for a while and do it by hand? And during said time you could look for hard-coded URLs. ;)

    Is there no way to 'edit' this stuff by remote-ing in...?

    I haven't seen any articles afflicted with this for a while. Either it's fixed, or DevDoge is frantically pulling levers.

    What? You mean this? From the Minecraft RTX article, when I click on discuss in the forums at the end. @MLyons
