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.

It always needs a rinse before you use it. Fill the net and rinse it under the cold tap. Give it a final swirl in the waste water when you're doing a water change and *then* add it to your filter.
