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.

    AppData is a hidden system folder. Most 1st year computer science programmers know that. :pac:

    Tick the box that includes hidden system files in the search.

    Because 'everywhere' is a location parameter. 'Hidden' is a file/folder attribute.

    One thing has got nothing to do with the other, and it would be stupid if they were not handled separately in search options.
