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.

Rodents chewing wires

bongo2 · 2010-12-03 17:30:32

My car refused to start yesterday. Mechanic had a look at it and reckons a mouse/rat has been chewing on wires and said that I'll have to take it to an auto electrician - looks like it will be expensive. Has anyone else experienced this and if so did your insurance cover it?

Oh god, I though this was an urban myth.

How can you avoid this?
