Links posted in a title
I have just noticed that today's spammer has managed to include a web address in his title (its a newbie). I had imagined that these would be classed as a link and therefore a new user would not be able to include it but its appears they are not - can this be changed?…

Amazon Referral Link Not allowed
Just posted a reply to someone and used an Amazon link to show a picture of what I meant, and got the above message. Had to go and find a picture from somewhere else.

Request for a "bottom of page" button
My netbook doesn't have a top or bottom of page key so I have to use the scroll bar all the time, which gets a bit monotonous.

The little tick has disappeared when I post
When I used to add a reply in a thread, a little tick would appear against the subject in the list of threads. Now there is nothing. I am also not automatically subscribed to the thread when I add a reply. What has changed?
The depths some people sink to - attempts to get this board closed down (GIOL)
Read the VERY interesting thread called "TGT Big Shots should read this" on the beatingbonuses forum > Online Casinos section. (As a new member here I cannot post a link). It is people discussing about how they might be able to engineer the closing of this board (& other forums too) because of the perceived threat to their…

Searching (iPhone)

MSE Tips email going to IM address?
Anyone else had the weekly email go to their instant messenger address and then unsubscribed twice today? I haven't received it at the email address that I registered with.
Should MSE update their cashback site listing?

Do you think MSE should update the Cashback sites they promote as WePromiseTo and Cashback Kings are no longer offering 100% cashback? Not to mention their customer service is also Slacking! There are plenty of…

PLEASE DELETE - Easier way to delete unwanted subscriptions
Is there any way that we could get an easier way of deleting unwanted thread subscriptions? I know I can go into "View all subscriptions" first and then select a page at a time for deletion, which deletes up to 20 threads at a time, but that can be a little slow, especially when you have as many subscriptions as I do :)

SUGGESTION FOR MSE - Benefits Discussion Sub-Board
I am fed up seeing all the discussion threads on the advice board. The BG's have recently been doing a good job of moving the relevant board but it is getting untidy. Even the MSE Officials are getting in on the act and posting discussions articles! They can't even follow their own rules. I suggest that there is a…
