it still appears on my remarkbox page, but doesn\'t exist within the
actual script placed on my website page because i deleted it from one
page and moved it to another. how do i fix that?

Your comments aren\'t lost \-- they\'re still stored under the original
page URL.

Remarkbox ties each comment thread to the page URL (called the
`thread_uri`). When you move the embed snippet to a different page, the
URL changes, so Remarkbox sees it as a brand new thread.

To fix this, set the `thread_uri` manually in your embed snippet so it
always points to the original URL:

<div>

    var defined_thread_uri = "https://your-site.com/original-page-url";

</div>

That pins the comments to that URL no matter where the embed lives.
