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.

Slow download speed

Mc Love · 2014-01-30 12:58:49

My laptop download speed has dropped to around 2Mb when it used to be what we have wired is 11/12Mbs I know its not my wifi connection as I tested it on the phone and its up at the level it comes in at 11Mbs. Is there anything that might have caused this to happen? Running a Win7 64 bit machine and have VF fibre if that…

When was the last time your machine had an audit done?
Clean temporary files and see how much space that frees up.

Set your browser to delete everything on exit and you won't get the same problem again.

Ran into the same issues again and I cleared my browser history, cache, everything and its still pretty slow 2.36 being the highest I am getting at the moment.

Network is fine, maybe chrome isnt as good as I thought it was?!

EDIT: IE & FF is the same! Any suggestions?
