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.

    Anyone know of a good parental control app for Windows phone?

    Trying to keep a young lad from going blind...

    The parental controls for Windows Phone are more about restricting access to apps in the store than websites.

    If you wanted to stop access to Internet Explorer all together, you could try Kids Corner where you create a whitelist of 'allowed' apps...

    Would prefer a managed blacklist DNS type solution as he should be able to use the web just not some parts of it.

    His folks are, understandably, worried about a young teenager developing a porn habit.

    I'm more a Solaris, Linux and network engineer but fall into the "you know about computers" trap and usually know more about people's machines than they do but I've never tried a windows phone and ain't very up[ to date on the available solutions.

    The DNS solution would be easiest, although that only covers that device while it's on their wifi.
