How come my campaign doesn't show up in "Looking for group"

<a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/7772/lets-play-dark-sun-shattered-lands" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/7772/lets-play-dark-sun-shattered-lands</a> I have "Looking for group" turned on. It was showing up yesterday, but today it stopped showing up, and all of its forum posts were deleted. Did I get flagged or something? If so, the video game I want us all to play is free to everyone so no copy-right violations, and it's still relevant to roll20 because I want to use the forums in the campaign to organize when/how we'll play.
What happened to the half-of-a-dozen forum posts? I'm hoping you can put the forum posts back since I was in the middle of a few important conversations....
I am having this problem also. I have three campaigns that are not appearing, even when searching for Keywords and Tags for the game, and it seems only a couple people have seen it posted, then it disappeared. &nbsp;What is going on? <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/176728/aliens-versus-predator-rpg" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/176728/aliens-versus-predator-rpg</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/179622/terminator-d20-rpg" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/179622/terminator-d20-rpg</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/181481/xcom-the-declassified-files-modernd20" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/181481/xcom-the-declassified-files-modernd20</a>

@ Alian_The_Game Master. Did you list then stopped and relist? Your links are showing unauthorized but when I just did a LFG listing search, I got this one right off the bat. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/7758/aliens-versus-predator-rpg" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/7758/aliens-versus-predator-rpg</a> it shows you as the GM and all. If you stopped the listing then all the mini-forums and links are invalid. You get all new ones when you relist. I didn't check for the others. just did a quick look for the first one.
More valuable bug info for you, dear programmer. I went into my browser's history, and accessed one of my forums that way. Here's the link: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/283593/inexperienced-player-looking-to-learn/#post-284739" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/283593/inexperienced-player-looking-to-learn/#post-284739</a> Quite interestingly, at the top it says "Posted in &lt;nothing is here&gt;", so maybe the forums still exist but got shifted out of my campaign into a null campaign? It still doesn't explain why my campaign isn't showing up in "looking for groups" though.

Ben and Allan, if you shut down the LFG listing and re-opened it then it spawned a new listing with no connection to the previous listing.&nbsp; My guess is that you closed the listing but if you did not please let me know. The threads that were part of the old listing still exist (if you have the URL) but are not connected to any LFG listing.&nbsp; - Gauss

I don't remember shutting down and then turning back on LFG. I may have, but I don't remember doing it. I did try a few hours ago, but this was After the bug appeared, and only as an attempt to resolve it (to no effect). 2. Even if I shut down and re-opened LFG, I should still be able to search and find Dark Sun: Shattered Lands (the name of my campaign). I typed in 'Dark', and my campaign isn't showing up.
Aha! Fixed bug issue number one (not showing up).
The variable "The next game will be" was set in the past (for yesterday), when I placed it into the future, the campaign setting became search-able again. Apparently you can only search for campaigns whose next sessions are in the future?
Bug issue number two (forums disappeared) is no longer a problem for me since, even though I can't access the old forums, I can still recruit newly interested players from any newly posted forums of my campaign setting. Hopefully Bug issue number two won't happen again. It's probably, as you said, simply caused by a closing and then re-opening of LFG.

Ahhh yes, sorry, I forgot to comment on bug #1. Campaigns set in the past are automatically not included in the LFG listings. I believe that this is in order to weed out past campaign listings.&nbsp; - Gauss
