Interesting - I knew you could do that with unpublished stories (I learned this from mature 5s/4, which is a royal pain to get to), but not with individual chapters. Do unpublished chapters affect the word/chapter/comment/view count on the main story page?
Also, I just went back to 180 to refresh my memory before starting the two new chapters, and was happy to note that the lost chapter has now been added as an author's note at the end of 180. Doesn't preserve the comments, though.

if you know how to edit a pdf and want to post a better version of this, I won't stop you.
Ooh, thanks for posting it; I'm glad that this at least still exists.

Honestly I'd just leave it unpublished with a link to it at the bottom of the modified chapter to preserve the comments and such.

(that way we can still have this thread to discuss this half-chapter apart from the official ones)

why not? (also 'why what? the idea of editing it or the whole posting a deleted chapter thing?')
5226251 nonono, I was referring to IC. He should leave 180.5 unpublished and link it in the author's notes for 180.

oh. okay...
but what do you mean by "leave it unpublished"?
You can leave chapters unpublished so that they don't show up in the Table of Contents, but still link to them so that people can read them
