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.

    usually sites who imitate others are spam sites. Like when you see pop ups that look like windows notifications.

    Personaly, I would avoid that site, its author is very untrustworthy. He (who has more names then a phonebook) also wrote the "Firefox Myths" page. He has been known to spam almost every tech forum and blog in order to promote his site.

    ^ Three different threads about the author, his known IPs and his known aliases.

    His site is basicaly a pro-microsoft FUD-the-competition page packed full of Ads.

    Although, on the otherhand, some of the tweaks that he suggests for MS software may be of use to some. Just take it with a pinch of salt.
