Not-spam forum post not showing up
I have no idea how to title this one.
I got email notice of new content that was marked as spam.
Silly me, I followed the link to the content, saw that it's not spam, and published it. At the same time, I noticed the forum post was in an inappropriate forum, so I moved it, and checked the box to leave a shadow topic.
But the node didn't show up in either forum.
So I went to the Akismet moderation queue, and there it was. Being somewhat unfamiliar with it, instead of marking it as ham, I published it. Still didn't show up.
So I went back and marked it as ham.
All along, the post has been accessible; it's just not showing up in the forum. Even though it seems to be attached to it. In fact, you'll notice at the end of the post, there's a link to the previous post in that same forum. But that post does not link to this one.

In all of this, I'm not sure which step caused the problem.
However:
(1) submitting a comment as "ham" does not publish the comment
(2) once submitted as "ham" you need to repeat the process in Akismet, but choose "publish selected nodes"/comments to publish the comment
I went into the raw database and all of the settings on the topic appear to be the same the other topic in the same forum (node, forum, term_data tables checked for nid = 2258). I've recreated the forum topic with a new ID but all other details remaining the same. It now shows up as yarn-organization-0 (correctly because of the duplicated title).
Can you let me know next time something is flagged as spam so that I can check all the database tables to see what's going on? Thanks!!
Only if you have time, yo.
Thanks for looking into this.
