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.

Taking ownership of old files with Windows 7

sparkywolf · 2010-07-21 12:48:12

Installed Windows 7 on my laptop. Beforehand, the files were granted full control to everyone to avoid this problem and now i cant seem to get ownership of the files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

no there should be an option to claim all files recursively (all subfolders)

if you go to settings, security, advanced , owner and edit:

You'll see a text box at the bottom "replace owner on subcontainers and objects". Tick that. Happy days
