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.

You have to format and reinstall I think, grab your files off there that you need. Insert the disc when the computer boots up, Press any key (when prompted). You will get the option to repair or enter setup<--do this, Windows setup should start copying files then scan for previous installations, delete the partition that the previous version has been installed on. Choose the location, file system and you're off. Perhaps there is another way but that is the way I'd do it.
