Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

GPS Tracking gone mad!

I just opened up Google maps and noticed that the blue dot (to depict current location) wasn't on our house as usual, but a few miles down the road. Very confused, I zoomed in and realised it was my other half's place of work! How? I don't understand how my laptop knows where he is??!

No Mozilla, logged into my account.. why does it track via where a device you have logged in on is? I always thought it was where the physical device was.

Well, this could get interesting if he says he has to work late, but that blue dot goes elsewhere...
