> If I refresh on a soft deleted page after 5 minutes has passed, and I permanently delete the post, the topic is still not deleted. I get the modal that you’re seeing and I press OK. For posts other than the original post, it works.

Excellent. I think that’s just the info I needed for a repro. 🙂 👍

I’ve tried again, but with a topic that consists of only the OP:

- Create topic (with no replies)
- Soft-delete topic (and wait 5 minutes)
- Open post wrench and select ‘Permanently delete’
- Confirm
- ‘Error. Something went wrong’
- Topic still appears in `?status=deleted`, but gives an ‘Error. Something went wrong’ screen when accessing and gives this message in the console:

Let’s see if we can get that looked at. 👍 🙂
