Link doesn't work in forum NEWSFLASH 30/06
In the Newsflash entry: REGULATOR LIFTS RESTRICTIONS ON WIRECARD, the underlying link is corrupt and hence doesn't work. The link is currently: hhttps://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2020/06/customers-cards-begin-to-work-again-after-wirecard-restrictions-/ It should be:…
What's "My Wall"?
I thought that I was fairly reasonably ok tech-wise, but ..... I received a private message, and also a notification that the poster had "written on my wall". I can see the message that they sent listed under 'Activity' in my profile as well as in my Inbox. What bit is 'my wall' and can I delete what's written on it if I…
Only one page on Techie forum
I am looking at this site on my iPad. Only the first page of threads is showing. No option to see further pages, which I find strange as apparently there are over 120k threads.
Mark all threads "Read"
As a relative newcomer to this forum (but not to forums in general), one thing that still stumps me is marking a forum as read. Am I missing something obvious?
'Thanks' Button In My Profile Creates A 'Problem' Message.
When i go to my Profile, click to see who has Thanked' me i continually get a message telling me there is a problem and it isn't able to be used. Is this happening to others ? Is this temporary or permanent ?
Will the Random Acts of Kindness board be closed after Coronavirus?
Ok, I know I’m looking way into the future but as the RAOK board is part of the Coronavirus section, I’m just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether they’ll be closed.
Please Sir! When can we have....
...more than one page of threads back on the techie forum?
Should MSE Reopen The Arms
Posters should be allowed to post again in The Arms (not Discussion Time)
MSE has closed the Money Saving Arms.
I for one am not sorry because it was far too addictive and consequently time consuming. We all can now get out more and get a life (covid permitting)!
How to find my username!
As above. I'm hoping it will show up here so I can then search for my old post!
Advise If A Thread Commented On Gets Removed Please 😣
I commented on a thread a day or so ago and when i returned to find follow up answers/comments on it it had disappeared. Site Mods - instead of just making that thread disappear a little courtesy would be appreciated and tell the commenters (via an inbox message) that you have felt it necessary to remove it for whatever…
Someone is out to make trouble
Someone has been going around reporting innocent posts as spam, they are not picking on any single individual but I have had 4 reports against me and I know of at least one other with a couple against them. If this goes on and they continue to report posts, what will happen? I don't like to see that I have posts reported…
How do i stop getting a notification every time someone replies to a thread?
It's getting on my nerves now. Quidco and Topcashback threads. Every day i'm getting a stack of notifications that someone has posted on them. How do i stop that happening?
Indentation
Please see next post. Please see next post.
Is MSE a consumer champion or not?!!!
I have tried repeatedly to get MSE to take up a significant general consumers issue, but all I get an automatic reply:- "Sadly neither Martin nor the site are able to answer MoneySaving questions on a personal basis as the site has 10 million users and we aren’t able to provide one-on-one help. Rest assured if we know the…
Dumb question . How do I get MSE daily Emails?
I used to get a daily Email from my favourite forums here, but it stopped some time ago. I have looked everywhere to turn the Email updates back on with no luck. Can someone put me out of my misery please? Thanks
Thanks button needs to be on all boards
Was a member of this forum a few years back with a different username. You could be thanked for every post. But the MoneSavingBoards and others you can't thank the posts. Any ideas why? Read some brilliant posts but unable to thank them.
Query - Where can I report a member for stealing posts from elsewhere?
So I noticed that bp5678 is stealing other's posts from other forums and changing the referral detail to his own - i tried to link evidence but I can't post a link as I just joined. Granted this time it was for a service that neither website supports as it turns out it's dodgy as anything, but still doesn't change that…
An unhappy forum

Some have left mse, and/or given up comping altogether. Of those who have stayed. many are very unhappy with what used to be a fun and friendly hobby, but now feels…
Email notifications have stopped
i logged into my emails today expecting as usual for there to be some notifications from threads here. There were none at all. I assumed it must be one of those fluke days that are really quiet. However when i logged into the forum i saw there were some notifications of posts in threads i am in. so what happened to the…
