Weird problem with DU... I can't see some of my own posts when I'm logged in

It's like I'm on ignore, but of course you can't put yourself on ignore

Also it doesn't happen for every post. It happens on more than one computer.

I've cleared the history on both in case it was a cache overflow problem.

Any thoughts?

My guess is the 'Auto-trash by Keyword' feature is matching a string in those thread titles. Make7 Mar 2016 #1

That feature uses a simple string matching function - it will match letter combinations within words, so the results are sometimes unexpected. You can try adding a space before and/or after to your trashed keywords to lessen the "false" matches.
