Incomplete Thread split

Question
-
I tried to Split the post from 'Fortu' to a thread of it's own as usual.
The new thread was created successfully (http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinewindows7/thread/4d2821d3-ad2d-44b8-877f-56eb0e87a4b8), but the original post hasn't been deleted.
I'm unable to delete it manually - "Unexpected Error" - possibly because it's locked somehow.
Can someone else please try to tidy up?

Syncing seems to have finally occurred (well, it has been two weeks, after all) :)
The problem was that I could see the split posts in both threads at one point - possibly because I was being thrown into qa.social rather than the proper one, and so getting an out-of-date thread.
It doesn't seem to have happened again since.

The new thread is blank for me.
My guess is that post (because the text goes to the right, out of the box and off the screen) is corrupt. So you cannot split it or delete it.
Does that sound right?
If so, I'll submit a request to fix it.
Thanks!

[edit] - the link was broken - sorry! the one below should work [/edit]
I responded in the new thread after I'd split it, and there were at least 8 other responses to it as well.
That whole thread has now disappeared. [edit2] - found it again - [/edit2]

I have noticed that I'm getting thrown into the qa.social area some, tonight - with the result that some threads are incomplete.
(e.g. yoyur response to my [BUG] thread was missing, as well as my response to that)
This means to me that you're having server syncing problems - which would possibly explain the 'Unexplained errors' that everyone has been complaining about for the past couple of days.
