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.

    Hi, im doing a test that finds an element. However the page changes at times. How would you attempt to continue using that element?

    Can you post some of the code for how the element appears on the webpage?
    For instance is it that the id of the object changes or just the value?

    You could write an object description using xpath that targets the element relative to another element.
    Just be aware that depending on how you write the xpath it might be brittle

    If part of the id is dynamic you can wildcard it out. Just make sure that the id is still unique. You can update your selector to be basically: id starts with...id ends with

    If you google you'll get the exact syntax
