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.

This is a stupid simple task but I just can't figure out how to do it! How do I get my photos to appear in my posts instead of just a link? I've tried using the "insert image" button but all its putting up is a little square with a cross in it. Grrrrrrr. I have stuff on Flickr,Jetphotos,Irishairpics that I'd like to post…
