Combine notifications would improve the experience
I have notifications set to only appear when I’m on the webpage, so no emails or I would be overrun! I do have rather a lot of threads set to notify a new post. Given that only 5 notifications are shown when you click on the “bell”, it would be helpful if the notifications for each thread could be combined eg my 5…
Cookie message - no choices
I have had the this site uses cookies message acouple of times, when I go to manage settings there are no settings given to manage, only accept all or confirm choices. I do not think it is my laptop (Chrome - Windows 11) as it does not happen on other sites. It would be good to be able to reject all or to be able to make…

For several days now i get an error message and 'ran into a problem' when i click on the 'Thanks' feature in my profile's section. I can do everything else normally, in the profile, but when clicking to see the thanked posts i just get this every time now.
Email notifications randomly arriving late or not arriving at all.
For the last couple of weeks or so I find I don't get emails notification for threads I am subscribed to, or if I do, they can be several days late.Sometimes I might get an email notification for the latest post as I'm meant to, only later on getting email notifications for posts in the same thread that were posted several…
Lost side scroll bar Google Chrome.
I seem to have lost the side scroll bar in Chrome. It briefly appears as this site is loading but then promptly disappears ! I've had to use Firefox to post this as I can't get to the "view all boards" button on the front forum page. I've not changed any settings and other sites are unaffected. I seem to remember having…

Moderation and dealing with trolls
Hi There seems to be a spate of trolls on the site recently, there are 3-4 who visit sporadically with what would probably be regarded as drive by trolling, there is also one currently who seems to to be either a sock-puppet, or a new account of a previously banned user. These users seem to get a free pass for several…
Receive message that a post has been created?
Sorry for the vague title to this thread. I often have threads that I have created and ones that I have posted replies on, all active at one time. Often the threads are fairly active, so I'm happy to keep looking at progress. But sometimes the threads quieten down and posts come in a few days after the last one and I miss…
Why is an obvious troll being permitted to disrupt the Consumer Rights board today? (29 October 2022

Try as I might I get thousands of results, mostly irrelevant, including the foodstuff. How can I restrict search to the above sub-section? Red squares at top of page and to right of…

I'm trying to search to see if anyone else is having trouble with Facebook not responding correctly to clicks, bringing up incorrect pages when I do so, not responding to clicking on the "x" to close a photo, that kind of thing. I opened the "Techie Stuff" forum, then clicked on the magnifying glass, up pops a box with…

Any change on the notification problem - unsubscribe from one thread
I have this option turned on, as I wish to see when people reply to a thread I have contributed to: However I once contributed to a thread that is going on forever, will probably never end and is now of no interest to me (For info it's Land Registry questions on the House buying board). Is there really no way to stop…
