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.

    That's actually very interesting. I know that all it's giving is, basically, percentages; and I've heard all of the percentages before, but stating them as a proportion of a number of people in a village really makes it easier to understand, for some reason. Percentages are, in some ways, abstract and cold, where as this is realistic and easily comprehended.
