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…

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.

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!

"NEW Forum Ambassador volunteers!"
Maybe you should pay people for their time instead of giving them nothing to help run your commercial entity for you? Just a thought. Would exploiting people like this get you in hot water with HMRC? After all, you're essentially employing people for well below minimum wage, no money is below minimum wage the last I heard.…

Net pay/ NI calculator
I think there’s something wrong with the net pay calculator because I’m getting different figures when putting in my gross annual vs gross monthly and it’s by quite a bit. I don’t know which one is right. I have clicked report a problem on the webpage and sent an email but haven’t heard back. Can an admin look in to this…

Problems opening posts
Hi when I click on a post to open it, it just bookmarks it. I have to turn my iPad horizontally to open. This was an issue months ago when the new forum launched and was fixed, so I’m not sure why I’m suddenly having the problem again?

Jargon and abbreviations
Please could all those that post to this forum resist the temptation to use jargon. Many people come to this forum to seek help, they are not experts and jargon does not help. You may know what a DC pension is, what CPI stands for, but please limit use of abbreviations and jargon. Kind Regards, Bill

Slow posting posts
Over the last few days whenever I've tried to add a post to a thread there's been a very long delay, 10-15 seconds between clicking post and and the post being posted. Linux Mint and Firefox if relevant.
