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.

    Ok thanks. There's no caption on the touch site, hence my question.

    If posts like this keep appearing, as they have been very recently, I'm just going to have to unfollow the YLYL thread. Which would be a great shame for me.

    Don't even have to look what "this" is to know what you are on about and to totally agree think I have reported the last three posts by that particular poster and I get the impression I'm not the only one or that this is anything new.

    Just report the post.

    It's what I did, and it's been actioned.

    What more can you ask for?

    I could ask for more but it might be considered backseat modding. So I won't. Suffice to say, there's an unpleasant pattern.

    But just keep reporting the post, and if there's an unpleasant pattern (and I don't disagree with you), the mods will deal with it.

    No need to either unfollow the thread, or tell us all that you're going to unfollow it.

    It is. And here we are, chatting.

    But it sounds like you want action taken, so I'm suggesting it would be better if you just report the posts.

    Sure. And I think coming on here to talk about repetitive and inappropriate posting is also pertinent.

    Mod: Chatting about it takes longer than reporting the post. :) Other than that, if you want to discuss generally about a post, fire away, but if you want to discuss a Mod's decision please contact us via PM.

    Fake news? It's not news at all - it's a funny pic. You should probably try getting your news from sources other than YLYL. :p

    The part you've corrected is precisely the problem.
    Surely you can make the connection.

    Oh good grief, you must all be newbies in Boards if you don't know what telpis meant. Whole threads have been dedicated to telpis. It's God Help Us in crappy FB-speak, in the same was that angles is angels, etc.

    When the 503s stop, do yourselves a favour and do a search, it's actually very funny.

    Reverse Google search throws up Southern Ewaso Ng'iro, Kenyan River.

    Google reverse image search seems to think it's the Southern Ewaso Ng'iro river in Kenya.

    All of his photos are amazing, thanks for posting that - I'm in awe of the patterns he's captured. I also find it utterly remarkable that the colours of the various types of earth on a huge scale resemble very closely the patterns you get with different glazes in pottery - the very big and the very small are very alike.

    Looks staged. I've seen a couple of accidents with pressure cookers and that isn't the way they go off. Unless someone put the pressure cooker on with nothing in it then were's the food which I can tell you can make a massive mess when one of those things blows?

    Look at the ceiling. There’s a uniform worst of food/contents except above the cupboards. Mess on island in foreground too
