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.

    Connected to find myself logged out. Werid, never happened before and I'm not playing with the machine.

    Ooh, and for my first time in ages I looked at my private messages. Sorry to the people who I never replied to.

    Happened randomly to me today too. I think Cloud/DeV maybe changed some cookie params causing everyone to have to get some new cookies. Probably. :)

    There are settings for time-outs in your User CP. Did you by any chance use another machine? I'm sure you know, but logging on / off there will affect the validity of the cookie on your own machine.

    I think Regi was working on stuff today and messed around with urls etc. Shouldnt have bothered people but who knows :)

    Cookies have a timelimit of something like 2 years and then you have to go to the trouble of logging in again... omg! :)

    I'm using Opera 6.05 and screen all cookies by hand which makes you realise just how many of these bloody things are beeing fired out. Anyway I just found myself "unlogged" having been away on a couple of other boards for about 20 mins, I came back refreshed
    a page and there I was - gone! This did'nt happen before the last couple of days, are there cookies being sent which, if you refuse them, lock the surfer out after a certain number of mins?

    Mike.

    It's all on how I read the boards. I rarely go into UserCP and I think it says I have new PM's at the bottom of the board.

    I asked a long time ago for a visual clue at the top of the board instead at the very bottom but I think Cloud didn't do it because it would of been to hard for Regi to break ;) (jk).
