    I have a feeling that one was linked to an individual who somewhat forcibly departed our company and at the time there were a few accounts (including their own account) that were de-linked and re-linked a couple of times thus breaking database links. I also think that the key fact is that the individual concerned in this case was the thread starter, hence the database has 'lost sight' of the thread without its natural reference to a user account. I do remember this thread quite clearly, and it was after the huge crash where we had to spend months copying threads and links back to their rightful places, so it is not that in this case.

    In the case of this thread, I would suggest starting a replacement thread (indeed, the action of doing so may kick the database into looking for the original thread a different way, through the Similar Threads tool)

    Regarding your other threads @shiney, I suspect they were pre-crash and may well have been affected by that; inevitably whenever anything crashes, you can only recover the data that shows up. If it isn't there, it can't be copied back.
