    Think they might have disabled the "Friends" option since I nominated you, Jinkles!

    Looks like it.

    None of the features that might make use of it are enabled here at the moment, so there wasn't any point it being there anyway.

    Not sure if this is linked to the recent works or not...but the site is painfully slow for me tonight. Pages just seem to be constantly loading and not actually coming to the end of the process iyswim.

    Twice I have recieved:
    APOLOGIES! Closed for Scheduled Maintenance.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, the MoneySavingExpert.com forum is shut for scheduled maintenance.

    The first time I was posting in DFW, in reply to a thread. The second time I had clicked to go to the index and it came up instead. Im using Firefox 2.0.0.14.

    Regardless of anything else, you badly need to upgrade Firefox. :eek:

    Get the latest version, v3.08!

    Still being on v2.0.0.14 is not good.

    When you use a special character such an accented e at the end of cafe you get an exclamation mark instead of the correct character like this:
    caf!.

    The accented text appears in the posting box (using Alt Gr, the standard key for an accented e) but after you post or preview the exclamation replaces it.

    Nothing to do with the upgrade.

    I can answer that one, e with the accent over it is in the swear filter due to people using it to circumvent the swear filter :)

    Not really a bug as such but when looking at peoples profiles, their additional information is a bit disjointed. Apologies to Browntoa for using you, but read your post about the green light so automatically clicked on your name. :)
