Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

i have wired a previously wireless pc and now find the router allocating an ip address to the wired connection and an ip address to the wireless connection. also two different mac addresses. are there any advantages/disadvantages to this situation. obviously i have not removed the wireless card from the pc yet.

If you are finding a problem, disable one (either) of the lans in the "Network Connections" in control panel.

thanks for that-i disabled the wireless connection. depite the fact it had both connections the wireless one seemed to be dominant. i wired it to get over the fluctuations in speed. surprised though to have two ip addresses for the same pc.

Yeah, each network card gets an ip address of its own.
