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.

Computing in the 80s

Not sure if this has been posted previously, but it seems telehack have set up a simulator of the entire internet as it existed in the 1980s. Ah the memories, if you've never seen an entire Star Wars movie in ascii before, you're missing out.

I wish it was still like that. And before you say use lynks, I do sometimes, but web 2.0 content is not visible. This is fine as most of it is ads, but sometimes the content you want wont render.

The proliferation of mobile web sites means links is actually becoming more and more useful. I use it a bit myself these days as an alternative to having my work screen plastered with images.
