Buying each other a beer
On another forum I frequent... http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/ There is the ability to add your paypal address in your profile section. Then a little beer icon appears when you post. Then if someone feels wholeheartedly like thanking that person for the post - maybe it made them/saved them a lot of money, etc. They can…

Search problems
I’ve been having a problem with the search facility in the forums. If I use the search dropdown in the header or just above the forum posts to look for some text, it comes back with a blank page (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search.html). Occasionally it goes to a PHP page (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/s.php,…

Call Checker suggestion -- non-BT customers
Dear Martin, Could you ask the person who built the Call Checker to add an option for non-BT phones, as the rates offered by e.g. 1899/18855/18185 for NTL and mobile customers for international calls are often different from (i.e. higher than) the rates for BT customers. Also, the cheapest rate for non-BT customers isn't…

What happened to the Wealth Creation thread?!?!
Can any of the board mods tell me what happened to the Wealth Creation thread. I am really annoyed because it was an interesting thread and now it seems to have been deleted for no apparent reason other than a person posting a link on it. It seems to be a bit of overkill to delete the whole thread just for one link which…

Thanks Button
I'm new to this so if its a silly question I do apolagise, but...I dont seem to have a thanks button, although I have been thanked. Should I be able to see it on my posts? or is it something I get after posting so many times? I have read the forum A-Z but it only says how to thank someone, not how to set one up.

What gets me when you put time into a post..
Seems like the right place to say this, and I am nice, honest :D What gets me on here sometimes is the complexity of posts which people post, and then you reply with factual information which you've confirmed is correct in actually trying to help them, and for it you either get someone saying, "no-no-no," or the original…

I've only noticed this happening this evening............ Earlier I replied to a thread, then hit the post button only to be told I was not logged on. I had to repost 3 times untill the message sent.

Yes its true. There's a redesign on the way. And this one is the biggie. We will be starting with the main site, the information architecture has already been designed, now it's a question of designing the look. the site will operate with tabs to navigate at the top and a browse bar on the right-hand side. Each of the…

Small Claims Court and Costs
It is a common misconception that the loser does not have to pay any costs in the small claims track in the County Court. Indeed, the useful article on bank charges contains such a claim. It is NOT strictly true. The small claims track has more limited costs than the other tracks. The loser will almost always pay the issue…

Got the address of the bloke in Uzbekistan? :j Any room or time to research and advise on good value for designing, setting up and hosting small web sites? Very welcome…

RSS Feeds
Would it be possible to set up RSS feeds for new threads in the most popular sites, like Grab it While you Can? I've noticed there is there is something similar set up for Martin's Musings, but it would be really useful if it was done for all NEW threads, on forums that rely on prompt action, like the Grab it board.

Posting Pictures
I've noticed recently that there are a lot of pictures being posted in various threads. These then get quoted, and disrupt a thread in my opinion. Is there a way of quoting without the pictures being repeated?
