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.

I don't suppose you can take a picture of what you see on the screen with a digital camera and post it up here? Feel free to blank out any personal information there might be on the picture.

Try starting up in safe mode or last known good configuration
Usually hitting F8 during booting up will give you the menu to choose safe mode abd the last know good configuration.

Doesnt look there is anything hardware related gone.
