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.

A combination of Adblock and NoScript seems to do the trick for me.

don't forget spybot and spywareblaster - in case it's an app doing the popuping
windows defender too

(adblock/noscript work with firefox - you can also use opera - to rule out stuff like activeX which affect IE and apps using it's engine)
