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.

Microsoft kills Autopatcher?

    Microsoft lawyers have sent the creators of Autopatcher a takedown notice to remove the download page from their website. The page contained mainly mirrors and torrent files, and according to developer Antonis Kaladis may result in "the end of AutoPatcher as we know it."

    Of course, MS could have just bought and officially supported the tool but that would have made sense, wouldn't it...

    Great tool but MS have a right to be narked. It gets around their WGA protection that they have on the website and via windows update page. Autopatcher lets anyone install all of this unhindered by one of their pathetic but stood over nets. It'll just go underground if they win the case. The people speak and Microsoft never listen.
