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.

    What type of external hard drive do you use?

    Little bit worried about external hard drives breaking over a long period of time

    External hard-drive should be a backup, not your only copy. If the data is anyway important, the minimum should be a 3-2-1 strategy: 3 copies, 2 local, 1 offsite. For a home user, that usually means one copy on pc/laptop, one copy on an external hard-drive, and one copy on Google Photos/OneDrive/Dropbox etc. Anything less than that is just begging for data loss
