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.

Which is the positive and which is the negative side of a 2 pin connection? See picture for details of what I'm trying to connect.

Sorry. This was meant to go in building and upgrading.
Could a mod please move it?

Front panel headers are the bane of my life.

Anyhow, check the plastic connector on the wire and you'll see a small triangle that marks the positive pin.

no idea, but the plugs are labeled on one side to mark which led/switch etc they're for. When I'm doing a build I always connect them with the label facing outward (as if you could possibly stick your head in the case to read them )

Hasn't failed me yet :-)

That's great, folks.
Thanks for helping.

I can see the arrow. Did guess that it was the positive one, but just had to make sure.
