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.

    Honestly, without sounding like one of the tin foil hat brigade, I can't come up with any other valid reason than my conversation being monitored....

    Please god someone tell me there is another reasonable explanation????
    It's a fact that Google listens for key words. That's no secret. Your phone listened. Has happened me loads of times.

    I don't have facebook but a friend wanted to message me using Whatsapp. I was contacted a week later by vodafone, trying to sell me stuff. I'm a vodafone broadband user but I avoid their call centre calls. The name that came up on my phone screen was of a friend in my contacts who is also on whattsapp. I was so annoyed i uninstalled whatsapp straight away.

    Fb friend suggestions can also be location based.

    So for example if you went to the same pub each weekend and many of the same people were there each weekend chances are you'd get fb friend suggestions for a few of these people. This is especially true if ye had mutual friends.

    Don't forget Facebook creates a shadow profile for you before you sign up, it gets whatever info your friends have made available about you as their contact. This way they can suggest friends to you should you sign up
