What Do You Get For Building Up Points?
It is all in the thread title
Avro Energy
I've been with this supplier for 18 months now - at very good rates - just transferred over to a new fixed tariff that compares favourably with others on MSE. Customer service has been ok to good - successfully reversed an increase to my DD. Wondered why MSE does not appear to feature the company at all in its comparisons?…
I am sending hugs to MSE

Can't post quoted replies
As title really. Can't post a reply into an existing thread. No idea why, using Chrome as usual, no change on my end. Problem occurs when trying to type into the text box, no textbox to type into, or at least the browser thinks there isn't. Obligatory thanks for the forum "upgrade" here, great work guys. Love it... Anyone…
only one page of threads showing - saving and investment forum
On the savings and investments forum there is only a single page of threads shown. There is no bar with page numbers being displayed. I have tried a number of other forums and they were fine and had the normal paging present.
DT forum problem
Discussion Time is not showing links Top/Bottom to previous & old threads.
Copy and paste from MicroSoft Word
I seem to remember that for some reason the MSE forums didn't used to accept copy and paste from Word documents. Is this still the case? (Or is it a hallucination on my part?)
Why are merged and moved threads listed as 0 Replies?

MAJOR SEARCH FAULT 23/04 - NOW SOLVED
Search is finding almost nothing at all. It finds NO original posts created before today. eg. Try Searching "Site Feedback" with "replies" de-selected for fault or problem - no results are found. Searching "Competitions Time" for "win" finds only threads started today - there should be hundreds. .
Hello everyone
Hello everyone!I am a new person. Very happy to join this forum. Looking forward to receiving the help of everyone.Thank you everyone for reading!
Site running slow.
Is it just me or is the site slow and sluggish, for two days it has been taking quite a while and a longer time to open threads and search the forum, all other sites are fine it appears to be just MSE.
Problems with previous new thread?
My previous new thread appears to have disappeared. Did I mess something up, like cancelling it instead of posting it? This is very likely. Is it in limbo, being moderated? This must happen, although I've never noticed a delay before Was there something wrong with it? If so, then I assure you that it was unintentional.…
Email account confirmations not being sent out
I've had to start a new username as my original one of a decade+ no longer works. It says I have to reset my password so I enter my email and it says the email has been sent but nothing arrives. Before the usual response of "duh, it'll be in your spam folder" - it isn't. It isn't arriving at all. Can the admins sort this…
Making Site/Sections Read
Is there a way, when I'm leaving the site, I can either mark the whole site 'read' or even mark sections of the site, say Techie, 'read'?.
Problems with quoting
When I try to quote a previous poster, and no matter what length my reply is, I keep getting the message that the reply body is one character short. Any reason?
What's going on with this thread? Is it closed, if so why not say so?
This one, you cannot post to it so I'd expect a big banner saying so. Anyone know? https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6095401/coronavirus-effect-on-property-markets/p64

I am annoyed though that I have to click "forum home" to see the "new posts" button.Can the new posts button be visible if you are viewing a thread as well? It's annoying having to go to forum home every time.Unless I am…
