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.

To a lot of British folks, a "Bluey/Blueie" is an electronically transmitted letter.

Basically they're free (Short) letters transmitted by telegram (or nowadays something more modern) which are distributed to members of Her Majesty's Armed Forces when overseas. The form they come on is blue, hence the term.
