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.

Your download speed looks grand to me, you will be on an "up to 7meg" package that up to is important you could be gettin 1 meg and still be within the contractual guidelines, i am on a 10 meg virgin package and i get between 8.9 and 9.6 meg

As for your ping are you connecting wirelessly? Connecting wired for starters will help, what anti virus/security software are you using?

Actually instead of me listin stuff have a look here http://www.computing.net/answers/gaming/how-can-i-lower-my-ping/6270.html

Virgin is dreadful. When I had it mine was meant to be 'up to' 10 mb, I was lucky to get 3 mb for downloads. Not much else I can offer except my sympathies!
