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.

    In the last two weeks my computer (Packard Bell) can take up to 5 minutes to start up. When i bought it first it started very quickly. Is there any way of fixing this?

    Defrag and disk cleanup.

    Although I would check your startup to see what processes you have there.

    (Start - run - startup.msc).

    It might be easier to download and install Ccleaner which will clean junk files, sort your registry and can make changes to the startup process.

    Yes. Yes I do. I'll blame that on the brainfart. :(
