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.

    I have used R-Studio and GetDataBack before. I'm sure you can find them for free if you look hard enough (although I couldn't possibly condone such behaviour.....)

    An neither would I.. :D

    In fairness, I have no problem paying a few dollars for some decent apps but dont want to pay through the nose though. You can get some very decent apps and utilities for various tasks in the $25-$50 range.

    Recuva, from the makers of CCleaner should be up to the job. 100% free and legal.

    EDIT: If it can detect the drive do the longer but better deep scan.

    PhotoRec (free, cross-platform, and very effective from what I hear)
