Discussion on flag between curators disappeared

Hi, I’m new to curation. The first thing I tried to work on was the Sugar Glider split. I responded in detail to the current flag, there were replies from other curators. I left it for a couple of weeks, and I go back in to find all my comments, and replies since then are gone! I’ve tried everything, but I can’t find it. I can start again, but it makes me nervous that it will be lost again. Can anyone explain what’s happening?

Looks like your comments are on the taxon change itself rather than the flag.

A curation process I often try to do is to post a link on a flag or taxon change to which location actually has the discussion. Also, trying to prevent discussion from occurring in multiple places (see my comment). Sometimes discussion occurs in multiple places and it gets confusing, such as this.
