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.

    Whenever I access the site over IPv6, I get the captcha to confirm I am not a robot...

    This really extremely annoying... I understand a verification from time to time, but it happens every time I open a new session. I guess it is related to RFC 4941, but I am not going to switch it off...

    Actually I don't have temporary addresses on one of the computers. The site always sees me coming from same IP and it still bombs me with captchas... :/ So it isn't RFC 4941.

    Hi grogi, sorry for the disruption. Can I ask if you're accessing from outside of Ireland? Cloudflare can kick in if it believes there is an issue, which can result in errors or captchas. Unfortunately, it's a necessary evil as we need it to protect the site if it does detect any potential issues.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Just to jump on the bandwagon. I'm also experiencing this constantly over the last few days. Posting from Belfast.

    I'm coming over Hurricane Electric tunnel. Might see me as coming from abroad alright.

    Most sites report it as US IP, but some recognise it is from UK.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
