I am sorry to see the Covid threads gone. On the balance I think it served an important informational purpose and who knows, it possibly even saved a few lives in the process? But I do understand that the moderators were kept way too busy to police things that were not cycling related. 

well i suppose we could always start a "how is Procycling affected by covid19" thread and take it general.

Jokes aside, it looks like there's a dedicated and active subforum for it at mybb

I think between the Middle East thread and some of the latter comments on Breaking News, people along the lines of literally saying they have a good laugh about someone getting shot in the face. 
Well, little wonder BikeHub need to take action and I can understand the heavy handed action. People need to be responsible for what they say.

Still, it needs to be balanced. You cant put the genie back in the bottle by deleting entire threads of info. Lock them and/or move them if need be and take action on specific accounts that may fall foul. 
Yes Media24 disable article comments, that is however a different context entirely and doesn't really have bearing on a forum based platform. Unless the group buy out BH

@Nick Its working on threads I've visited today, but anything from before today it seems to revert to another spot in the thread. I'm starting to think its cookie related as those are threads I last visited from my phone or laptop at home.

I was also being sent to "last unread post" that was a few days ago. I had definitely read them as I was seeing posts I had liked or my own post as "unread". I have only visited from my desktop at work.
