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.

    Is anyone else having a problem clicking on the drop-down arrow beside your name? You know the arrow beside the notification/beside your name where you'd click if you wanted to go into "My threads"?

    I keep clicking it but nothing drops down.
    I've tried several times now, did a browser restart and everything....this is only happening on this site.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    PS: I can't click on any of the tabs above, such as "BIZ/EDU/GAMES/HOSTED/MUSIC", etc etc.

    Empty the browser cache, ctrl + F5 manually if need be. The menus are in the process of changing.

    I'd imagine there will be a few issues with the menus for the next few days.

    yeah, probably to do with the deployment of the new category layout.

    Yeah, I'm having this problem too.

    I was starting to think that some genius thought it would be a good idea to remove something so vital!

    Hey all,

    As we were getting ready to start pushing all this out, we realised that the existing menu was going to cause is some problems, so we've turned off the Javascript that controls it and manages it's drop-down functionality. I expect it'll be that way for the rest of the afternoon whilst we're making the category changes.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    It would be best if everyone reverted back to the old beta layout if anyone else is having these problems. Though it doesn't highlight if your subscriptions has added a new post, unfortunately.

    Type the forum you're looking for into the search bar.

    This forum is hard to find without dropdown menus.

    I suggest you make a global announcement. edit: specifically about the menus being offline.

    It's really annoying

    As the new menus are now up and running, I'll close this rather than having a couple of threads open for the same thing. Further discussion can be found in this Feedback thread.
