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 the software development forum OP, you'll probably get better responses here;

    or one of the OS-specific forums;

    Scan them in as images or documents. Then print to a virtual printer using CutePDF. This will save them in the desired format.

    May I inquire if you are using a dedicated scanner or else an all-in-one combination printer/scanner etc. ?

    When you have all the pages scanned and saved as PDFs, use PDFTK Builder to combine the single page PDFs into a single multi-page PDF:
