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.

    Opera's browser can display wap pages (firefox might do this as well) so just paste the link in to a browser and see what happens. Will save you on gprs costs from the phone.

    P.S. When I enter that url ("wap.mobpart.co.uk") into opera I get a page saying "invalid pin number"

    It eventually links to this video:

    Which is definitely not worth watching

    I got it too. But as a general rule, any text that has a hidden number or just downright strange is always best ignored.
