GUMPY Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) About six weeks ago I got involved in a discussion about the earthing of Victron transformers, towards the end of the conversation there were some very good technical points made by a couple of contributers. The thread does not appear in any searches even if I go back through all my and the other users posts. Straight question to which I would like an answer. Has it been hidden or deleted and if it has why? Edited February 18, 2021 by Loddon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I too would like an answer to that question. If it turns out to be Victron strong arm tactics it may well influence us when we are asked for recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try and rewrite it and post it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Dog Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Isn't it more likely to be a weakness in the search function? I'm always inclined to think cock-up before conspiracy...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Short answer: to the best of my knowledge it hasn't. Longer answer: Topics are sometimes hidden but are very rarely deleted entirely. Mind you, I tend not to read technical threads so I would not have noticed it. Can you remember its title?

Can you search hidden topics looking for Victron transformer ? I have had a look, and have found one called "Victron Isolation Transformer" which appears to be still open. Nothing else since September last year. Yes, we can see hidden topics. They just come up in the list of topics with all the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudds Lad Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 could it have been around the time of the software upgrade? may have been lost from the search during that time if active whilst the backup happened?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 It looks as if, thanks to Andy, Loddon's Lost Thread has come to light. I must add that I'm not impressed by the title of this thread, suggesting as it does totalitarian forces at work. But I shan't censor it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
