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.

    Hi All,


    Making the move in a couple of weeks when the pixel is released (or maybe one plus 6T). A lot of the apps I'm using on the iPhone are google apps now anyway so I'm not going to lose much.


    The only thing I am wondering about is an alternative to iMessage.


    Is there any android app out there that can send and receive SMS through my laptop? Does it work via bluetooth with the phone nearby or what's the story? I've been looking at the android message service but I'm not sure if that's the same?


    Thanks,
    Gary

    the latest versions of Android have a web messaging feature that works like WhatsApp Web.

    Yes. Use it all the time. The phone and laptop doesnt need to be on the same wifi network.

    Ah, you are correct, I generally don't have the two (laptop & phone) running in separate places
