some possible explanations:
- session expired - log in and out again
- thread permissions changed (ie deleted, made hidden idk) - can you view the thread? try unwatch all threads
- temporary error - wait and see

Fairly sure the thread was deleted but I can’t unwatch it... 🙄

that'll be it then - it's deleted from view but i assume it still exists for the admins, so when you try to interact with it (unwatch) the site says no permission because you're not an admin

only solution i think* would be to unwatch all, or ignore it

Perhaps it is because you are using the app.

Ah, I know about this bug.
You can't unwatch a thread from the main forum display. You have to unwatch it from your "watched" threads display.

The tech guys should know about this because I raised it as a bug about 3-4 years ago. :smile:
