This is a sample thread, with the problem mentioned.
Postbit_legacy doesn't dissapear, its only the post that vanishes.
I've checked into DB too. The first post is missing from there as well.
http://www.nassaufdrant.com/forum/ro...8-a-14898.html
Can a reason behind this, be the format of title in each of these threads, as names of threads have:
Place dd/mm/yy title format?
Also, I noticed that this occurs mostly when merging threads or posts. Sometimes it also happens when you edit your own post. Not only in that particular forum but on others as well.
Here is the content of my postbit_legacy if it helps:
