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.

    Hope someone on here can help.
    My screen has turned sidways but I can't do a Ctrl + Alt + Up arrow because up arrow is no longer working. GF spilt water on it :mad: a long time ago but hasn't been a issue till now.
    Is there any other way around this.

    ?! If it's XP then the ctrl+alt+left (or right depending) arrow should work (not up).

    Failing that you can physically turn the monitor on it's side?........:o

    Also you might want to go to your display properties and see if there's an option in there.

    The Resolution:-Open Control Panel>Display>Settings tab>advanced, navigate through the tabs to find a rotate display option.This option has come due to the graphic card you have installed. The option should allow you to rotate the display back to its original orientation.

    Hey,

    If you disable numlock you can use the up arrow on the number 8 to do the same.

    Or.

    Go to control panel, Display, Settings, Advanced, Inter Graphics accelerator, graphic properties.

    Rotation can be set there

    or, go to Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Accessibility\on screen keyboard and use them arrows

    you should be able to change it using the graphics card options.
    If you right click on the desktop do you get an oiption for graphics properties or advanced graphics? rotation should be listed in the display settings.
    you may also have an application installed specifically for configuring the graphic card's options.
