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.

Twinkle, Twinkle little stars
How I wonder where you are
Up above the threads so high
Like a diamond in the cyber sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little stars
How I wonder where you are!

When the blazing muppets are gone
When your post is just been replyed on
Then show us your little light
Twinke, twinkle all the night
Twinkle, Twinkle little stars
How I wonder where you are!

When the moderator bites and bark
Thanks to you for your tiny spark
For I could not see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Throughout history the search for faith has led men to look to the stars for answers. But only by looking into ourselves may we find it.

Too many late nights watching the Outer Limits and you can remember crap like this

The little stars may well return on the subbed forum but we will have to run tests to see how much CPU overhead they load on the server as they are very processor intensive.

Nice poem tho

Is the subbed menu coming back? Really miss that feature, but not as much as not being able to use the drop down menus - they keep disappearing just after they come up, so I don't have time to click on them. This happening to anyone else??

Yes it will be...

I havent heard of it happening to other people. Can you tell me what browser and OS you are on? (might be better to start a new thread to see if anyone else is having this problem).

I would have read this thread but didn't, due to the lack of informative stars.

Somehow a couple of weeks ago (I'm presuming it was then, because that's how long it's been happening) the security settings in IE6 were changed on my computer. When I set them back to default the menus worked fine. Always something simple :rolleyes:

The little stars are back on the Subbed forum menu (which is also back). This is the best we can do at the moment. (mucho thanks to Regi for fix0ring it.)

If you subscribe to forums (which is a GOOD IDEA) then you will see your favourite forums with *'s if they have been updated since your last visit...
