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.

    I was trying to find out online if the virus can be still active on post or parcels from infected countries but have found no information. I know a lot of people would have bought items from the far east over the Christmas and new year sales so you would think that there should be some information on if it can be transferred that way. Only putting it out there to see if anyone has more information about it.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    Viruses usually don't live that long without a host. So packages should be safe by the time they arrive.

    I would have thought so myself, but no information on that possible way of spreading.

    So far they said it's not airborne and can only be spread host to host, aninal to human and human to human

    I know, but what if someone sneezes on a parcel, someone else picks up the parcel and so on so on. I know it's way out there but it would still be nice to know.
