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.

    Can you buy a new casing on Ebay and replace the existing parts?

    Take a close look at the connections inside. Button connections mainly - the connections made by the buttons. They can be bent by hamfistedness (not you, obviously...).

    If so, re-align *very* gently.

    Contacts might just need to be cleaned - again, gently does it.

    It's great if you have a working unit for comparison purposes. Just be sure to do nothing to that unit!

    Think tooth pick rather than Q-tip.

    Not your ornery onager

    cheers, I have cleaned the contacts a while back and while it looks fine and clean it's something else I think, thanks
