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.

    Just in case some may not have seen this, gmail can now do the same thing as skype, from within Gmail. You have been able to to audio and video calls for a while through gmail (skype-to-skype) but now you can actually call mobiles and landlines for very cheap rates.

    They have not activated this for everyone yet - so if you cannot see this in your gmail yet, change the Language to "US English" and then you will see the "Call Phone" icon just underneath your own name in the gmail chat box. Landline calls are free to the US & Canada which could be well handy for some. They give you $0.10 free credit just to try it and see if it works, then you can buy extra just like skype.(however note this: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/08/dont-click-this-button-in-google-voice.html)

    I tested it and the quality was great.

    Can we call America and Canada for free? Anytime I look this up I get mixed answers.
