I’ve been getting multiple errors trying to post a new thread to the MYOG forum. Latest error is “ERROR: Duplicate topic detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”. I have indeed posted the same thing multiple times, but it never shows up in the forum, nor in my Profile Topics Started list.

I am having the same problem. Did BPL start moderating new topics or something?

I figured out the issue. You can’t have a link due to a BPL bug.

You can, however, include a URL, and it will be linked upon submit. Just don’t make it a link when you’re editing (either by using the WYSIWYG editor or manually adding the HTML tags).

If your post included multiple links, that could be the cause of the whole post disappearing.
