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.

No Support for Foreign characters

I reinstalled Windows last night, and since the reinstall I have been unable to see foreign characters such as Japanese symbols. Is there and easy way to fix this?

IIRC there was an option in IE setup add/remove to add the foreign language,

there are some very big font file in the windows\fonts folder - not sure if you can just copy the 5 biggest ones over
