Disappearing Forum Inbox

Well here's a queer thing. My forum Inbox has gone blank. And my Sent items too. And no new stuff is coming through. As Ops like to say... is it just me? 

If it is, well, not really a huge deal as I have found a sneaky fix (or two) but I thought I would leave this here all the same. 

(BTW there'll be no point PMing me either about this because, well...)

    Yes, yes, fine, I see your point!

  • These forums also perform very strangely for me also.

    I made a thread in the Speed subforum, and it is displaying very strangely for me, with many posts missing (not visible or showing in the thread).

    I think this has something to do with me (and perhaps other posters) regularly using the using the "Reply" button that is nested in the last visible post (a bad idea), as opposed to the "Leave a Reply" box at the bottom (seemingly a much better idea).

    The thread I linked above, in its current state, has large swathes of posts that seem to be invisible to me (and presumably others), after they have been made.

    This is very frustrating, and prevents useful knowledge transfer and interaction between users and VM colleagues alike.

    I am hopeful that some strange aspects of the forum's behaviour can be fixed.

     

  • Same problems here, a bit frustrating when trying to communicate with VM to arrange something., my temporary solution was to search my messages for a word i knew would be in the message :)
