Shadowban Scanner has been updated to v4.0.4! Here are the main changes in this release. You can view the full list of changes on GitHub’s [release page](https://github.com/Robot-Inventor/shadowban-scanner/releases/tag/v4.0.4).

## Main changes

The main changes in Shadowban Scanner v4.0.4 are as follows. This release mainly addresses changes to X specifications, and there are no new features.

- Fixed an issue where the feature that lets you view posts displayed as [This post is unavailable] had stopped working
- Fixed a bug where no message was displayed when clicking a post or its attached image in X Pro

X has recently strengthened its spam countermeasures, leading to an increase in replies being hidden and replaced with the message [This post is unavailable].

[Why do replies on X show \[This post is unavailable\]? Why does it happen, and how can you view them?](https://roboin.io/article/en/2026/03/12/why-x-shows-this-post-is-unavailable-in-replies-and-how-to-view-hidden-posts/)

[In Shadowban Scanner, I had added a feature in v3.1 that lets you view hidden posts](https://roboin.io/article/en/2023/12/30/shadowban-scanner-v3-1-release/), but it had stopped working due to changes in X's specifications.

In this update, I fixed the feature that lets you view hidden posts so that it works again.

In addition, it only worked when a reply was hidden, but now it also works when the original post being replied to is hidden.

It does not work in every case, but when this feature is available, a [View Post] button will be added next to the [This post is unavailable] message.

Clicking this button opens the hidden post in a new tab.
