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.

My hard drive works fine on my computer. Running W7. My friends computer runs Vista and it tells me to reformat or it cant red. An easy way? (or hard way) to read my files, music files. Or is it possible. Have googled for ages and can't get an answer that helps. Its a 500gb WD HD if that makes a big difference. Thanks in…

It could be a dodgy usb cable. Have you tried using it in any other PC or laptop?

update drivers on Vista computer, try a different USB port (preferably one on the back, not front/top ones)
