Should you fix energy? Calculator - option for Day & Night electricity rates?
Hi, My energy provider's fixed tariff has different rates for electricity for day and night. The calculator on the MSE website only allows for one rate to be entered. Might be worth updating the calculator to take into account different day and night usage/rates? Thanks.

Threads marked as 'new'
There are two recent threads on this Site Feedback board that, no matter how many times I read them, they always have the flag set. They are not straightforward run of the mill threads but nevertheless they should conform to convention - that convention being that once read they are no longer marked as . Both have been…

can't search MSE
when I try to do a search on the MSE homescreen I get diverted to a mostly grey page which is headed "how this site works" and is mostly a disclaimer about giving financial advice etc. Fair enough but I can;t find any way of getting through it to see my search results. I must be doing something wrong but for the hell of me…

Fading posts when read
In the old forum, there used to be a way of showing that posts had been read when you had finished reading them, and leaving the forum. Haven't read all the posts in this section, but Is there any way of doing that with the new forum?

Not tested the other…

As above - received yesterday. An invitation to join him in a "business transaction" in his family mining business. So spammers are attacking the forum from inside now? Can the site team ban them ASAP?
