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.

    Hi there,

    Whenever I start using Safari/Any other browser I find that some of the text on a page is now highlighted with a little green box to the top right of the word that is highlighted.

    See example below.

    Is this a virus and is there any way to get rid of it?

    Thanks.

    Its not a virus, is junkware.

    If thats Safari check for plugins or toolbars, its one of the "search enhancers". Same applies to any other browsers.

    I've seen this before. It's probably a browser plugin. I found one that auto-ticked a box that inserted amazon referral ads everywhere. There was an opt out option, but I just removed the whole plugin for that shady work.
