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.

    There's often a reflection of your own headlights off the lenses. You think for a second that you've been flashed. I've noticed it a few times and never got any surprises in the post as a result.

    I pass a speed camera van at around 3am quite regularly on my way home.
    Seen a red flash from it loads of times when well under the speed limit.

    They use an Infrared flash, seen it before like a tiny red flash, then the ticket came a couple of weeks later.

    Do the Garda van's have access to ANPR? Would be handy to catch tax dodgers if they can reference the database as vehicles pass.

    I don't think you have anything to worry about so.
