Disabling Javascript destroys Paragraphing?
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=5557400&postcount=2 Thats the post in question. I finally got it sorted by enabling my Javascript. I used Firefox 2.x and NoScript and AdBlock. NoScript automatically disables any Javascript, as it can be used to inject malicious code. For some reason, when its disabled,…
Thank you...
...for changing the tab between Main Site and User CP to read Forum instead of Chat. Chat was pretty meaningless as there is no live chat facility on this site. Nice one boys :beer: .
Why can't I right click, copy and paste posts in process?
When I post on MSE, if it's a reasonable length of text, I like to spell-check it by cutting and pasting it into Word, (I can't get the MSE spell checker to work - I've downloaded it, but nothing happens when I click on the "abc" icon!). Cutting and pasting into Word always worked fine with the old MSE site. Now, when I…

Can't search my subscribed threads?
Hello,Usually when I log in I click on 'quick links' then select my 'subscribed threads' so I can see if there are any new posts to them. Today I see that this link has been replaced by 'open my buddy list'. Has the search subscribed threads feature been removed or moved and I just can't find it?

New forum for comp voting
After seeing a large increase in people asking for votes for them/kids/etc appearing in the forums all over the place, can we have a seperate forum for such threads. It would keep adverse comments down from people who don't like people posting such threads:) Any other thoughts on the matter welcome Thanks James
Spamming
hi, Is there no way that new members have a premoderation. Say if a memeber has less than x amount of posts or has been a member less than x amount of weeks. I know mods have alot to do without this but it is just a thought.
Replacement Forum Graphic For NavBar
Every time I visit I see the forum image in the navigation bar and think yuck! So I created an alternative basically keeping the same style just, hopefully, a bit smarter. It's a straight replacement and can be downloaded from http://www.glyfz.com/forumButton.png (not sure if you can save the image in the post). Marc
Keeping track of posts
What's the best way to keep track of my posts. Is there a quick way to find the threads where I have posted in date order of my posts. Viewing "Subscribed Threads" are listed in date order of whoever last posted in that thread, not in date order of my posts. I know I can do a Search. Is there a quick way of seeing list of…
