New policy for (not) removing spam?
I have noticed a couple of times that new members have been PPR for what I presume is posting obvious spam and yet their posts remain, is this a move by MSE towers to get in line with other sites by leaving the spam in place so that it then gets picked up by the search engines and universaly blocked?
Where is the 'lovely people' thread?
Yesterday morning I came across a lovely thread somewhere on here with stories of all the great things that others had to done to help people, or stories from people who had been helped themselves but I can't find it again today. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thank you!
How can i get a thread moved?
I have a thread on the Health and Beauty board, and want it moved to the Sport and Fitness board. How can I contact a Moderator to do this for me? Or will they see this post?
RE: No response from MSE Website - Please Help!

Grab the weekly email before the other 9.5 million recipients & let us know glitches
Hi everyone, We're in the final stages of checking tonight's weekly email before it goes out to over 9 million people.

Today's post button/link
I am sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere, but I can't seem to find the 'Today's post' button in the new look website. I use this button many times during a day, so would like to find it again. Many thanks. LR
New format needs to go back to drawing board
Is this supposed to be where I can post comments on the new Forum format? I was only directed here by another member as I could not find it by inspection. I have made what I hope are some constructive comments on the Techie area of the Forum. However I will summarise again 1. Layout is much too spaced out, have to keep…
I Think The Forum Team Need A Hug!
I was just reading through peoples feelings on the new forum look & I just felt like you all need a hug. No matter what our feelings are about the new look forum, the forum team have been putting in a huge effort & time to do this. So I just wanted to say Thank You LO xxx
New Forum Comments
What's the point of MSE inviting comments on the new format and then removing those that are critical of it?

No likey 'new' MSE design! :mad:
New look Forum for non-logged in visitors
OMG, I wondered what had happend. :eek: I think it looks awful. Far too spread out, and far too much empty white space to navigate around. Tied to log in and even had trouble finding the login field/button, then I found it, tiny little thing on the LHS of the screen. Even pressing the "login & post button" didn't help.…

Forum member Grannydot...
I am posting this here as grannydot had a lot of activity on this board, and I suspect more than a few friends. It is with much sadness that I can tell you that grannydot (Dorothy to me and her family - I am her son) passed away last week after a catastrophic brain haemhorrage, suspected to have been caused by a sizeable…
Martin's Picture in the Top Left...
I'm wondering if he should take it down since England aren't progressing any further. But an interesting thing would be if the shirt changes depending on the location of the visitor coming into the site...that would be cool. Finally, could we choose/nominate what clothes Martin should wear next?!
New User problem with Links
I get this message when trying to post a competition link: "Sorry as a new user you are not allowed to post with links. " - But I've been a member since 2008! I'm still too new?
