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 have to say, I don't like this emailing lark done through the boards itself. Can we just bring back the option of people putting their email address onto their profile? Was there a mass spam attack or something that merited this anonymity approach? It's just I'm not sure if my mails are getting to their destination, though it is quite possible the members I have mailed just don't want to talk to me.I'd feel so much better if I got to type "xxxxx@hotmale.com" into my outlook express myself instead of boards doing it for me :)

    Just a thought, thank 'ee.

    Well actually I think there was a mass spam attack, with some people (Hobbes I think) only having his email address viewable on boards and he recieved spam, and a few others here.

    Anyway I prefer it the way it is.

    Bugler, you can email dev for the specified users address... that's what it tells me if the person has their mail address hidden.

    Isnt this definable by user?

    I think if someone doesnt want you to know their email address, I'd be loath to give it out to anyone. Its their choice.

    DeV.
