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've been trying to connect my laptop to my iphone 5 using the hotspot feature but it never connects. The laptop picks up the phone with full coverage but then when i try connect it goes into windows trouble shooting to solve the issue. Has this happened anyone and does anyone know a way around it. My laptop is running Windows 7 and phones is latest ios 7.thanks

    Also make sure you have the correct APN settings in your iPhone. These are different for each Network and can be found on the network's website.
