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.

    From time to time someone may wish to write Sanskrit or Pali terminology on this forum; transcriptions of these languages can be displayed correctly with their diacritical marks if handled correctly before you post. You can cut and paste from here if you wish. You have to have a font installed which has glyphs for these characters.

    Unfortunately you can't use the character references in the title :(

    I'd be interested to learn whether people on different platforms can see these characters correctly or not.
