Ask HN: Flagged Submissions Added to Favorites

2 pointstmaly5 comments

I just noticed that something I added to my favorites was later flagged. I cannot see it in my favorites now.

This did not seem to the case before. Has something changed with flagged items?

Check if you have showdead=yes enabled in your profile.

I think this is the right answer. I have "showdead" enabled, and I can see two dead stories at the top of their favorites list:

1. [flagged] [dead] How I made $210,822 selling a pdf and a video on the internet (indiehackers.com)

2. [flagged] [dead] Lessons of Persuasion from Scott Adams, Creator of Dilbert (knowledgeartist.org)

Note, however, that HN seems to eventually remove the hyperlinks from dead stories, so if you're interested in those links, they should probably be bookmarked somewhere else.

yes, that was the issue. I learn something new everyday. Thank you.

The second entry on your favourites page is flagged/dead and shows up for me, are you sure the page reloaded?

yes, I double checked it. I see an indie hackers link as my most recent and an Ask HN as my second.
