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.

I went down to my super-modern it’s-not-a-post-office-really-it’s-actually-a-bank post office yesterday to post a bunch of big parcels, and found that post offices still don’t take credit cards.

The government regularly comes out with plans for the post office network to be saved by taking over banking functions. Seems a bit of a contradiction, hm?
