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.

    If you visit this site hxxp://xpantivirus.com/2008/2/_freescan.php?aid=880224 (DON'T unless you want lots of viri!) you get a page that scans your computer, (alledgidly) and then offers to clean it. Don't do it!

    You will just get more virus.

    Just a heads up, the site was listed in the sites that visited my website, I was curious! Just in case anyone else sees the site it is listed at hxxp://www.creditreportbuddy.net so don't visit it!

    It does sound annoying tho:
    A new rogue, known as XP AntiVirus or XPAntiVirus, has been making the rounds. Typical of fraudware, this rogue anti-virus software creates registry entries for fake, non-existent malware that it then “detects” when it scans your PC. This tactic is used to scare you into purchasing the software.

    While the program does come with a removal option, when PC users attempt to uninstall it, XP AntiVirus will start up again the next time they reboot.

    Can you please edit the links so that they aren't live, ie : put it as hxxp instead of http

    People will click on them otherwise even with your warning, and will get infected
