Can you reproduce here on meta? I can’t, tried as admin with 2-3 different users.

@pmusaraj I was about to write up a bug report for this. I can reproduce on Meta and my test site

Sometimes you have to scroll a lot to get the error message:

Ah, cool. Can you see if there is a matching error reported in /logs or in the browser’s console?

I can’t repro on Meta (deleted topics are only visible for admins) but I can repro on my forum.

Seems the error appears when I get close to the last deleted posts

Nothing in /logs

Thanks @Moin and @jessii. Can you share what the request is when the error pops up? It should be highlighted in red in the Network tab.
