Still not fixed
Issue for Firefox on this thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2518535 I have posted what I am aware of on that thread. In particular, when the forum was closed for upgrades earlier this month, a message was inserted to warn of a shutdown. That message eliminated the problem, but it came straight…
The forum needs fixing.
Firstly, we get a lot of shills using the board as a free advert. I'd bet money that this "new user" was affiliated with the company in his post: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2664547 This could be counteracted by a rule in which new users are not allowed to post a topic until they've replied to x…

Why not add a feature like this?
There's plenty of offers where group buying of some kind is significantly cheaper, but you can't interest friends/family/whoever in doing it at the same time as you... Totally random example: 4 Gatwick express tickets for the price of 2 that I saw advertised in tube today. If it's just you going to Gatwick, this offer is…

No redirect symbol when thread moved now?
Just wondering whether the thread redirect thing is appearing for everyone else? Just posted on a couple of thread in discussion time when they vanished off to the arms. Normally you can click where they were, and go to them, but that doesn't seem to be there for me today. It's not a big deal, it just confused me. :o
I thought we were here for Help and Support
Hi all, Handyman here. I have just had a look around the boards and am ashamed at the way some new posters are being treated. I will admit that there seems to be an influx of newbies ( I was one in March). But if I had received the same reaction as some I have seen on here [STRIKE]lately[/STRIKE] Today. I would have run…
MSE Weekly email: 3 minutes too late!
Sorry if this sounds like I'm being either a) ungrateful or b) petty, because I greatly appreciate this site and the savings I've benefited from as a result of the MSE team's hard work... but it did irk me (as a regular Lidl shopper) to get this week's MSE email as follows... Grumblegrumblegrumble... :mad:

Site iPhone unfriendly?
Wanted to make a post from my iPhone on the way home while on the train and while the 'Title' box accepts text, the 'Message' box does not and is greyed out. Is this forum Flash based - unnecessary moving Smilies but no usability if you're on the iPhone. If this is just Flash based frippery then is there a non-Flash based…

Checklist article for death
Over 3 years ago, Martin promised us an article for a checklist on what to do after a death. See here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=344578 This still hasn't arrived and I noticed that it's been asked for in the thread before. If there is no intention to do one, can I suggest the thread is removed…
May I be a slight grammar Nazi for a minute
"The Following User Says Thank You To ___________ For This Useful Post" Why the need to capitalise every word in that sentence?
Site very slow and unresponsive this morning
Anyone else having problems with MSE forums this morning? Pages are slow to load and sometimes timing out altogether.
