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.

Apparently its a legit site but there restrictions on the downloads in that you have to download and install within the 24 hours period and after that you cannot reinstall

The website is grand, perfectly safe, just a shame most of the software is rubbish and there are better freeware tools out there.
