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.

    ]If someone sends an email from facebook, is it possible to track the IP and find out the IP of the computer it was sent off? :confused:

    No, not unless Facebook.com tracks this info, and is willing to give it out to you (which is highly unlikely).

    Facebook does track the ip address of everyone that logs into your profile, but only someone logged into your account can access it. People who are not logged into your account cannot track who has logged in.

    Not easily. Facebook do keep the logs, but it requires a court order from a US judge to get the IP. Even if you got that far, it would only get you the router's external IP address.
    If you send an email from within the facebook application, the only IP's that show in the headers are the FB IP address, and your email provider's IP.

    The facebook site has your ip-so why would the email app not show your ip address as well? why on earth would it give you facebooks ip and your email providers ip??

    because the email itself is being sent from facebook's servers, not from your own computer. The from ip is the server from where the email originated, in this case, a facebook server
