>I subscribe to the VB thread but it's not up. I think I snipped it off some time ago. I've been to my settings and checked the expand thread checkbox. Apart from that i don't know. Anyway, the thread hasn't come up on refresh. Do I have to wait till I next log on? Any ideas?

It's not clear what do you mean here. Do you mean it should be in your Agents? If yes, do you have an Agents icon at the top toolbar?
