I received today for one of my questions the following Inbox message:

Hooray, this question was reopened! Anyone can answer it now

I am surprised because:

  • I didn't even know the question was closed (I neither saw any counter on the close flag, nor the [closed] suffix in the question title)
  • this is the first time I get such a message, despite having had questions closed and reopened in the past

  • You could check the timeline of your question if it was closed at a point.

  • The timeline shows it was closed: christianity.stackexchange.com/posts/77887/timeline you can find the timeline by pressing the clock symbol left of the post, under the voting buttons.

    There is no notification when it's closed due to "Do not notify about bad things" policy which is still mostly in place.

  • Thanks everyone - the message is something relatively new (meta.stackexchange.com/a/336960/256398) and I apparently did not have any questions closed and reopened in the meantime. I do not understand, however, why the [closed] message was not appended to the title (I checked the question a few times a day so i would not have missed it, especially that there were discussions in the comments about not closing it)

  • @WoJ you should get notifications of comments being posted on your question IIRC.

The timeline of the post shows it was indeed closed and then reopened:

  • Thanks, I did not realize that the timeline covers these events (and it is logical that it does, I am not sure why I thought that it was only for edits).

  • @WoJ - When a question is closed or reopened a new revision is created and viewable in the edit history and timeline.
