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.

    Passing through the tolls. Just one of those tiny little details in life that makes one's day better. It doesnt need to be there. But it is. And the world is a better place for it.

    Firstly, the fact that it is there at all is pleasant.
    Secondly, that the exclamation mark is there. Thats what really makes it, adds the pezzazz, the magical touch, and assures there was a human of substance behind the machine, and not just a cold message without any soul.

    The little hint of urgency. It has echoes of Murray Walker. Or a down hill skiing start. Or, Ready, Steady, ...

    It just works.
