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 a page or two to re-sync the thread and this will then show latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Example?

    I'm guessing its just the design of the page you are looking at. Some developers do that.

    Have only started using XP pro was using Win 98 before this. Also its a differant computer with XP. The resoloation on the other comp. was 800x600 would that have anything to do with it, its higher on this machine with XP 1200x960 tried changing it to 800x600 but everything was way to big, it has me comfused.

    Bingo. Higher resolutions on sites with set metrics in the design (using values like 50px instead of 50%) will result in the page seeming smaller.

    Lower the resolution, or learn to put up with it are your only options that I'm aware of, I'm afraid.

    No its the screen resolution. Change it back to what you were using before. Do it through the control panel/display/settings.

    He could run a custom stylesheet in his browser, but I really don't see much point, it'd probably bork 9 sites out of 10.
