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.

    Best option imo is remove it and get a remap at the same time. A phonecall to Joe Power would be worth your while.

    NCT should be fine. Does that price include removing the DPF???. It sounds very cheap..
