Reloading board
The boards are still reloading for me every time someone makes a post. I'm scrolling down recent posts and it just suddenly reloads, with new posts appearing at the top. Only doing this when I'm on my phone however iPhone 7. Fine on my iPad
Delete a PM
Just looking through some of my saved PMs and thought I'd delete so (now) irrelevant ones, but ............... how? :/
Own replies flagged as new
Threads you've posted on are flagged as "new". The old forum was clever enough to realise that you don't need to catch up with a post you've just written!

Posting hotlinked images
Previously we were told this "Due to some complaints we have received, we'd like to remind all users that hotlinking to images on other websites may cause that site huge bandwidth problems. In the interest of maintaining good relations with competition providers, please try not to link in this way" does this still apply…
Unsubscribe
How? I'm getting too many notifications popping up for a thread I commented on. How do I stop them?
Search Fault 13/03 - Finally solved after 6 weeks

Amount of posts - possible more on a page
Is there a way that we can view more posts on the page at all, otherwise we end up with about 12(or more) pages at the end of a week, when previously the Flylady one only had something like 4 to view in a week. I've been browsing to see if I can find anything to increase the posts on a page, but so far unsuccessful. Oh and…
Forum Change
Where have everybody’s signatures gone? Everything seems to have changed all of a sudden in the forums? I loved updating my signature and seeing others signatures where their debt was reducing.
Save Draft
When creating a new thread there is a 'Save Draft' button between the 'Preview' and 'Post Discussion' buttons. So I clicked it and a pop up appeared saying 'saved to drafts today at 10:01 am'. There does not appear to be anyway of getting to the Drafts folder to retrieve it. Anybody know how?
Ignore list
Would it be possible to expand the number of users that can be added to a user's ignore list please? I've just had cause to add the first user to my ignore list and it already indicates it is 20% full. I think I will find the current maximum of 5 users will be woefully inadequate in a very short time.
Login problems on new forum.
Firstly, huge apologies as I'm sure this must have been discussed before- I just can't find it anywhere. Has anyone else had issues with resetting their passwords? I've tried three times and it isn't sending an email to my yahoo account. I'm a long term regular but I've been taking a comping break since last summer and I…
Credit club problems
It would appear the Credit club is broken. You cant access your full report, it just times out. and the algorythms used to generate the scores are way out how can a 999 score with no negatives, only positives & zero balances give a vlow mse rating lol - and if as it says its down to the data i put in, there is no way to…
Broadband Deals
I've found the broadband deals section difficult to use recently as the main deals posted were all TalkTalk or their resellers. Is it possible to add either: a) one "non-Talktalk" provider to the mix please? b) a checkbox on the Broadband unbundled tool that can be used to remove TalkTalk options please?
Safari back button
Bare with me; when I use my safari browser if i use the back button to move around MSE I get a blank page for a few seconds this happens all the time and is annoying, although has to be said its not the most annoying thing about the new all singing and dancing MSE site, everything that's changed has changed for worse not…
Martin's Blog in right hand column
Can anyone tell me how to change it so that the MSE News is default rather than the Blog? We went for months with the news column stuck and no new stories appearing and now we are lumbered with Martin's Blog which holds very little interest to anyone other than Martin.
Deleting posts
Have we now lost the ability to delete our own posts (not threads as this was never the case)?
Problems since new site
Since this was all changed I get a notify of every post which has been put onto my favourite forums. As there are usually at least 10 posts on each formum every day this is quite a problem. I have tried to change notifications but still getting them, it used to be a daily email to say that posts had been made but I could,…
How To Link To A Specific Post?
Hi, I am able to link to a thread, but I am unable to link to a specific post within that thread. Anyone know how it is done please?
New Forum Thanks
Just realised my "Thanks" total on old forum has not been transferred. Was this meant to happen?
