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.

Is there any way I can get my laptop to lock whenever I close the lid on power and on the battery? Im on vista if that helps?

Power options in Control Panel is what you are looking for.

While you can't (I believe) get it to only lock, you can get it to go into standby and require password when it comes out of standby.

That or just press Windows Key + L just before closing the lid.
