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.

Ban Profile Visits?

Hi, I have a suggestion regarding our user profile. I think it would be helpful if boards users could approve or deny who visits their profile. It would put a privacy barrier up and help eliminate profile stalking where people go through all old posts to try and mock or discredit a point you’re trying to make. Thank you…

Being able to search other people's posts is an essential feature. Makes spoofers/trolls easy to spot.

Bad enough that you can no longer do it when an account is closed.

Yes it can be abused on-thread but that's surely a matter for the mods to deal with if appropriate. If someone is completely contradicting what they said previously though, what is the harm in pointing that out?

If you are so worried about people finding your posts, why are you posting?

Scrap the cap!
