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.

It depends on how techy you are IMO.

HiJack This is great but if you don't know what you are doing, I'd avoid it like the plague. It isn't user friendly in any way and is designed for people who have probably modified registry keys in regedit in the past.

I don't think there are any better free ones. All of the above have their own problems where they have issues deleting some files that are causing problems.
