I have added several other content types to the Forums vocabulary one of them being the Event content type from the Events module. My main purpose is to let the same entry for the Events calendar to be a forum topic with comment. Everything seem to be working normal, except for those mysteriously disappearing topics from the Forums.
For example see here:
http://www.drumandbass.bg/forums/the-board.html
It says 6 topics for "Other Events" but when you enter the Forum (http://www.drumandbass.bg/forums/the-board/other-events.html) you see only 4 topics. Even the last commented topic shown on the Forums list is not there! The same thing happens for the other Forums that contain nodes of the Event content type. I cannot say why and when they disappear and appear back (this happens too).
I have tried both stable and development snapshot versions.

After Edit-Submit of one of the topics (the last replied) there are now 5 out of 6 in the "Other Events" forum. I will not do it with the other so you can really see the difference. I think i found the reason. The conflict most probably is with the FastToggle module. When I un-promote a node using the FastToggle it disappears from the forums list.

Nothing you've written here seems to have anything to do with Advanced Forum and, since you seem to have found a trigger with the Fasttoggle module, I'm moving it over there to see if they have any ideas.

I don't think fasttoggle changes anything other than the node's promote state. And that is what it is supposed to do. If you still think this is a problem with fasttoggle module, please explain what your goal is, what fasttoggle.module is doing, what you expected it to do, what you think it should do and why this interferes with advanced_forum.module.

@kkaefer: Just to clarify, it's core forum that decides what posts to show in the forum, so it's not AF it's conflicting with (if it is at all) but core forum.
I use fasttoggle on my own site and have never had this problem, but my site is D5.

Thanks for moving the issue to the right project, Michelle. It really seems weird but this is definitely the problem. I have checked and double checked and when I demote a post it disappears from the front page AND the forum. It has to be edit-saved to appear back.

@acdtrp - restating the problem doesn't provide "more info" and marking critical won't get it fixed any faster.
Please take a look at the data of the node after fasttoggle affects it and after you've edit-saved it and post back with the data that changes. The Devel module's "dev load" is a good way to easily inspect the data inside the object.
