MSE "Benefits & tax credits" board.
As Tax Credits in the UK were abolished over a year ago now, in April 2026, isn't it time that the "Benefits & tax credits" board here on MSE was renamed? I'd suggest that a suitable new tiltle, which isn't that much of a change, could be: 'Benefits & Pension Credit'. Of course that might (or might not*) play hob with any…

MSE car insurance comparison tool won't accept driving licence number
When adding my partner's driving licence details the text box won't let me input the last 2 letters (not the last 2 numbers, I know about that!) and then tells me the number is too short with only 14 characters instead of 16. Never had this issue before, help!

A big thanks to MSE
Just joined the forum to post this thread. A big thank you to Martin and the team. In the last hour I have filled in and sent three car finance complaint emails and switched gas and electricity to a fixed rate package that is cheaper than my current (sorry!) package.

Forum Home / Categories Buttons (In Blue Bar At Top) Not Working

Now the button, along with the Forum Home button, highlights when I click it but it doesn't do anything. I now have to scroll down to the bottom menu and click All Boards. Also when…

Ignore list
Would it be possible to expand the number of users that can be added to a user's ignore list please? I've just had cause to add the first user to my ignore list and it already indicates it is 20% full. I think I will find the current maximum of 5 users will be woefully inadequate in a very short time.

Permission problem. You don't have permission to do that.
I replied yesterday in a thread titled "How are source of funds checks handled in property purchases" and have received notification that someone has posted a reply in that thread. When clicking on the notification I get the message in the title of this thread. I have searched the forum for the thread in case it had been…

Random 'Started by' thread date problem makes threads appear permanently new
Problem - threads end up stuck near the top of page 1 of a forum because the 'started by' date always appears as today instead of the date it was actually created (although the time is correct) and the act of opening the post isn't recognised, so it permanently appears in bold (so looks to be permanently new/unread).…

How to find threads I posted on but didn't start?
I had posted on a thread that someone else had started and I promised to update with progress on my ISA transfer but I can't find the thread now. I can bring up a list of my 'posts' but these are only those threads that I started - and anyway, there doesn't seem to be a way to order them eg latest first. How do I find…

Quoting posts changed
Has the way we can quote posts changed intentionally? Now it gives a preview instead of the whole quoted post, but there's no way to highlight specific parts of a post by emboldening etc. This was useful to respond to specific parts of a post. Can this be brought back?

Clearing Drafts
I've got two draft posts which I'm trying to clear. I've tried to clear them by setting the dates (both in the past month), selecting posts and then choosing 'clear all' but it just seems to clear my selections not the drafts. Where am I going wrong? 🤔
