It seems to be the top post. Want to see something stranger, wait for the next new post and click on the subject on the top post, You'll get page not found, now click on the back button and what do you get?
When I did it, the new post was gone and the post beneath t was on top again.

Real-time activity points to a reply on a post. Clicking on it gives page not found error. Looking at the original post only gives the original post without any replies. Makes me hesitate to reply at the moment.
Are these replies gone forever? Or are they just hiding until an engineer recovers them?
An example:
