Site Navigation
Hi I am wondering if there is a comprehensive guide to using this site anywhere? I would use the site more, but always have difficulties in navigating it. For instance I currently have a problem with Topcashback. I thought I would have a look and see if anyone has encountered similar problems recently. However when I…
Issue with Sidebar / Losing titles
Difficult to explain this one, but here goes: When going to a particular forum, eg Work, Benefits & Business the title of the forum is bolded in the sidebar, and the first page lists the topic sections.If I go to a topic, the forum title is not longer bold but it is listed in the sidebar, and the threads are listed on the…
One of my posts was picked up by some sort of filter
A little pop up message stated something about suspicious, or spam or something. It did not display long enough for me to read it. I also cannot find where or if my post is quarantined for review or deleted outright. I can see why the forum admin wont want to divulge details of how the filter works so how else can I make…
How do I find where the last post I read is?
It used to be when I browsed the boards I could click on a thread and it would go to the first of my 'unread' posts. I don't seem to be able to do this now. TIA
Login on iPad
Cannot find where to login to forum on my iPad. Only a recent problem. Where is the login page now please?
Email spam
I have just got in and looked at my emails to find I have about 60 emails from MSEFORUM and people asking why I.have sent them a email. I have not sent any emails to anybody on MSE. has this happened to anyone before ? I won't click on any reply links in my email but I am going to just delete them all.
MSE Pension Guide inaccuracies
There are a number of inaccuracies in the MSE Pension Guide https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/state-pensions/ which are causing some confusion over on the Pensions part of the forum and I think could do with correcting. Firstly, the guide says The NI years needed for a full basic state pension are: * Retired…
Closed Board Deleted?
Why has the closed board Matched Betting been deleted? How much admin time can a closed board, which nobody can post to , take up? I haven't used it for years but over a decade of useful info for anybody who might want it has just gone in an instant.
No more PMs?
Just why??.............
Annoying sidebar
One of the unanimous dislikes of the latest 'improvement' of the forum was the annoying sidebar on the left. I'm sure we were told that HQ were working on fixing this annoyance, but do we have any news?
group private messages?
"Forumites! From Monday 16th August, group private messages will no longer be possible on the Forum. If there’s anything you need to make a note of from previous chats, please make sure you do so before this date." sorry but I have no idea what you are referring to with your new message about group private messages. it's…
Knew Posts
Randomly seen this a few times on the forum.
Missing the (advanced) forum search
I can't seem to find a way of searching the forum for my posts. If I search on my username, I can find posts where another user has used my username in their post. But I can't seem to search on posts that I have made, which obviously would not include my username in the text.The reason is that if I comment on a thread, I…
'Most Recent:' isn't always correct
When looking at the board index page - forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories - sometimes the information given about which thread has received the newest post and who made that post is not correct. Here's an example... this is currently the most recently updated thread on the Public Transport & Cycling board... ...we can…
Expired Competitions still on main forum
Good Afternoon I posted this Expired Competitions still on main forum — MoneySavingExpert Forum on Compers Chat Corner this morning and it has been suggested I post it on here as well. As stated in my post I usually sort my competitions by "Closing Date" and the filter as "All Statuses". There were 91 pages on the forum…
Can't view "thanked" threads.
Good Morning. I thought it might have just been my phone, yesterday, but this morning I'm on the laptop and the issue persists. When I go to my profile, and click on the "Thanks" (under Reactions) I usually get taken to a list of my posts that have been thanked. However, now I just get a "Something has gone wrong" page…
Discussion Time?
I have not logged onto this for ages. Since before the Virus outbreak I think. It's changed. Where is Discussion Time?
Latest posts on mobile
I can't seem to view latest posts on my mobile phone, I can only see about 5 threads and I can't expand it the same way I can on my computer. I am using either safari of chrome on my iPhone. Thank you.
How do a find things etc
Hi there! I'm enjoying the forum and have enjoyed reading the emails for a few years but am now getting more into it all. Great fun. But... I find it hard to navigate back to a board and am probably missing a trick. in a normal folder I might be in a/files/June/dinner and once I've looked up how to cook something i can…
The word 'Report' has disappeared from below every post
Below most posts there are three clickable 'things'. Namely... Quote, Thanks and what used to be named as Report. The word Report appears to have been lost when the forum appearance changed a few weeks ago. Was that a deliberate intention or was it something that perhaps should not have happened? Whilst looking at those…
