Is there a problem on this site? Can't click on any threads
For the last 2 days I haven't been able to click on any new threads on this site. Is it me or others having the same problem? Guess I will not be able to read the responses here when anyone posts.
Old Green Style Forum Settings
I accidentally cleared my cookies, cache and logins and now when I login, I can't seem to get the old green style forum settings back. Have these now gone?

Please reopen the Debate House Prices and the Economy board
It's not an area of the forum I usually frequent but keeping it shut isn't stopping people from starting threads debating house prices and the economy on other parts of forum.
How do I locate my previous posts?.............!
Can't see a "Your Posts" button. Please advise!
Notifications received - even when notifications switched off
This seems to be becoming more of an issue - on posts where I've had notifications switched on but for which the thread has derailed/lost relevance I switch notifications off yet still continue to receive them. Is there a bug in the system or something else I should be doing ?
Messages Function not working for me
Can someone please help me? I am trying to Message an individual but when I type in their user name & proceed to writing the message, the recipient name disappears. I thought it might just be one person but I have tried several names & the same thing occurs every time. I did log out of MSE & log back in, but no joy. Thank…
Can’t Work Out How to Open a Thread?
Hello When browsing the forums and I see a thread title that I want to read, I click on it and nothing happens except the little bookmark icon goes red. What am I doing wrong? I’ve been using internet and forums since 1999, so I’m a bit embarrassed at not being able to do such a simple task! I’m on an IPad with up to date…
New reporting reason: 'Needs moving, merging or splitting'
When reporting threads to the Forum Team, you'll see there's a new reporting reason: 'Needs moving, merging or splitting'. If you spot a thread that needs to be moved, merged with another thread/s or split into two, just report it and choose this new reason. The Forum Team will then deal with the thread/s as soon as we…
Will the house price debate forum ever reopen?
The covid forums are not busy at all at this stage (which was originally the rationale for closing the house price forum). Will it ever reopen or closed indefinitely?
Allow cookies
I've just had a new phone handset and now using a Samsung galaxy S22 instead of a S21. Both set up in exactly the same way. Apps and website setting transferred over automatically. However, when I'm trying to view every single post on any board on this forum I get a pop up asking me to allow cookies. Every single time. I…
Edit Username
May seem obvious - but I can't see how to edit / change my username - is this not allowed?
Suggestion. In the Browse the forum main page add 'Energy'.
In the 'Browse the forum' main page it has 'Mortgages and homes.' Clicking on that will lead to 'Energy' Suggestion , add 'Energy into the 'Mortgages and homes' forum main page caption.
Suggestion. Making hover over thead title with mouse to show that first post.
In some website forums you can just hover over the thread title and it shows the first post. Any chance of that being introduced on this forum here. Just speeds up things a bit.
Reporting Forum Rule Breakers
The "Debate House Prices" forum was closed with a request to "Please do not post content intended for this board elsewhere in the forum" but some users are blatantly disregarding this by starting threads on deliberately contentious issues. The nearest "Report post" option would appear to be "Technical disruption" as the…
Is the opening post on the Forum Ambassadors List thread incomplete?
Earlier I was looking for an Ambassador to move a thread from the Motoring board to the Parking sub-board. I notice that the Motoring board isn't mentioned in the Forum Ambassadors List. I have not checked whether any other boards are missing from that list.
Suggestion for a New Pensioner Forum
I am approaching retirement and like many before me I am trying to make decisions about many aspects of retirement. I think it would be a great Idea to create a new forum where pensioner and those approaching pension could ask any questions they have. I am aware that the is a Pensions form (and it is great for information…
Spurious line breaks
I've noticed from a couple of posts today that if a word is italicised then the forum software seems to insert an uneditable line feed for no apparent reason, is this just me? Edit: added a comment about the same happening with bolding but editing seemed to fix the original issue!
