If you are running 4.3.14, please have a look at this thread. Read all of it, and see if reverting to 4.3.12 fixes it.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

I don't want to be unhelpful, but can I suggest that asking someone to read all of that thread is getting a bit unreasonable. There are over 500 posts on it now. It is a bit like asking them to read through all of every licence agreement before installing software - a good principle for speed-readers, but who actually does it?

Can it simply be suggested to people that if they are having problems with 4.3.14 then they should try 4.3.12 and see if that sorts things out.

If they read just the first post in that thread then they should learn something useful. Which is more than I can say about the first post in this thread.

Well, Yes. But perhaps a suggestion that they read all of the first post of the thread, or perhaps the first page, and not just the title. The whole of the thread is now too big to plough through for most people.
