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 thought i would share this as i have been looking for a simple solution for a long time.

    Ever wanted to delete files older than a certain number of days. Then the windows command line program "forfiles" is what you're looking for.

    Example:

    forfiles /p E:\LogFiles /d -3 /c "cmd /c del @file"

    /p "directory"
    /d -X (Where X is the amount of days previous to today)
    /c "abc" (where abc is the command you want to execute of the result of the files found.
    @file (this automatically replaces @file with the result of the files found)

    In the above example it will delete all files in E:\LogFiles which are older than 3 days.
