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.

Chewing gum tax? Why should i have to pay for a pack of skanks who do this without a second thought. http://www.rte.ie/news/av/2012/0502/media-3274495.html# I know it's not in yet but I just think with other taxes such as the plastic bag one etc., is completely unfair for people, like myself who recycle, dispose of rubbish…

The chewing gum industry is fairly small, only a handful of companies. If they can't make their product biogradable then they should be required to set up teams of street cleaners that specifically remove it. This should be a requirement of obtaining a license to sell it.

Or they could just tax it at source, which I actually think is fair enough and much more straight forward. Perhaps set up a completely seperate government just for the OP and they can make policy that's completely specific to him.
