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.

Ive worked this out myself but im not 100% sure its right. Basically, what is the odds on flipping heads 7 times in a row? Is it .5^7 so roughly 7 times in a 1000? Thanks

.0078125 (= 1/128), about 8 in 1000. That's 1000 sets of 7 flips, not 1000 flips, just to be clear.
