Existing link to closed forum
Hi On your Phones - Mobile Recycling page, there is a link to 'join in the MSE discussion' in a forum called 'Sell Old Mobiles'. This forum has now been closed off, so the discussion can't be joined!
E mail and website not displaying in Safari
Is it just me? I had to load up Firefox to be able to see full site and e mail this week?
Legal
There is no way of contacting MSE in private to advise them of references to them in the USA in respect of plagiarism. It appears a user MIGHT be involved.
'Replies' in my profile
When I look on my profile there is a '1' against 'Replies'. Does this mean that someone has replied to a post I made? If so how do I see it? If I click on the '1' it just takes me back to my profile page. Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask or if I missed it in the introduction material. :)

My avatar fails to appear on any of my posts - it is still set up in my profile and set as default to appear - yet it refuses to appear on my posts !! Any idea why ?
