I downloaded the free budget planner on MSE site on 30.7.25 but I am being asked for a PASSWORD to customise my template/spreadsheet. I do not have a password. I did download the free budget planner on MSE site many months ago (around March 2025) and…

Space-wasters at the top of the Energy category
Is there any way to hide this lot? It's annoying to have to scroll past it to get to the real content, as you may have just noticed.

I've got a new email address. I've managed to update my MSE Forum address but can't find where to edit it on the actual MSE site.

Bold, italic etc
One of the things The only thing I found useful about the new editor was that if you wanted to change text to bold or italic etc all you needed to do was to highlight the text you wanted to change and a little "box" would appear next to the highlighted text from which you could choose bold or italic or whatever. That…

Auto-bump issue?
Not sure this thread was auto-bumped - [Removed by Forum Team] - but if it was, is there a way the auto-bump system could be tweaked to not bump threads which were started by a now banned poster, or are spam-like? The thread involved was one of those which seemed like a prelude to a "Here's the great tool I've developed!"…

New Filter options (including 'Participated')
On our Latest Posts page, you’ll now see a few new options in the Content filter on discussion list: When we move to our new layouts later in the year, these will also show at the top of all boards, so you'll be able to, for example, see all threads you participated in on just the board you are viewing.

Where is this MSE article?
On the National Consumer Service (aka Consumer Action Group) home page there is a banner which links to this MSE article - Parcel protection insurance | MSE - but when I look for that article myself on the MSE site I can't find it. I'd expect it to be somewhere under Complain & Reclaim > Shopping & Consumer Rights but i…

Profile removed from pop-up summary box
When I click on a username, a summary box comes up. It used to have a button to click that would bring up that user's profile page. The profile button no longer appears. Please can it be reinstated? I used it mainly to get to my own profile, as profile is not available on quick links. Now I have to login to see my profile…

Missing Notification pop-up/red symbol

Tip: Did you know Toggle blocks are now linkable?
Did you know Toggle blocks are now linkable? Open any of the Toggle blocks below, then copy the link from your browser’s address bar. When someone uses that link, they’ll be taken straight to this thread with the relevant Toggle block already open. This makes it much easier to share a specific section of a longer post or…

Cookie pop-ups
Hi all (especially mods and staff), Lately I have noticed that when using the app, switching from one topic or following a shortcut/link, this prompts a pop-up asking for my cookie preferences. I select "essential only" each time, yet each click on a link results in a new cookie pop-up window asking me again. This is more…

Converting old posts to the new Rich Text format
Hi all, Just a quick heads-up that we’ll soon be activating the “Reinterpret as Rich” setting for older posts. Currently, when you edit one of your older posts, it opens in the editor that was originally used to create it… After this change, older posts will open in our newer editor when edited. By default, nothing will…

MSE "Benefits & tax credits" board.
As Tax Credits in the UK were abolished over a year ago now, in April 2026, isn't it time that the "Benefits & tax credits" board here on MSE was renamed? I'd suggest that a suitable new tiltle, which isn't that much of a change, could be: 'Benefits & Pension Credit'. Of course that might (or might not*) play hob with any…

MSE car insurance comparison tool won't accept driving licence number
When adding my partner's driving licence details the text box won't let me input the last 2 letters (not the last 2 numbers, I know about that!) and then tells me the number is too short with only 14 characters instead of 16. Never had this issue before, help!

A big thanks to MSE
Just joined the forum to post this thread. A big thank you to Martin and the team. In the last hour I have filled in and sent three car finance complaint emails and switched gas and electricity to a fixed rate package that is cheaper than my current (sorry!) package.
