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 a page or two to re-sync the thread and this will then show latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Please don't laugh at me, I just know some basic HTML. :/ I was wondering is there anything like having a search box on a webpage to act like the Edit->Find function in Firefox? Thanks in advance. :)

If you only know basic HTML, then I'd recommend adding a Google search box, so users can search your site. It's relatively doable:

I think he means something like this. Don't have time to check the code though, I think you should be looking for something in Javascript "search this page" when googling. I've found a few but none of them seem to work for me when I try them online.
