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.

Generally not. Laptop components are usually smaller, and designed with far less power consumption in mind. The fixtures are also different, with most laptops leaving no scope for expansion.

Some of them are called Mini PCI (simple enough to understand ) but graphics in laptops are expensive to upgrade and alot of the time not really possible.
