Minor issue
Just to mention the 'report post' bubble falls off the edge of the normal view in Safari
Seasonal header
It is always a pleasure to see Martin in something seasonal - in the past I have pleaded for it & today spotted it along with happy 2022. I do know this isn't Martin's site anymore but am stubborn about some minor things. Saying thankyou being one of them. This site is a great source of new ideas, of comfort, of…
We've updated the search function
Hello folks. You might have noticed that we've made some changes to the search function. The new version should make it easier to find what you're after. Give it a go - you can try filtering by date, category, author and lots of other things to narrow down your results. This is a brand new change and there are still…
Captcha when abroad makes site unusable
I go way a lot and can use this forum without issue wherever I am presumably because I'm logged in. When I go to the main site however, I have to select several pictures from two pages of photos to prove I'm a human. Is there no way that this could be cached so that when I've gone through the challenge once on a given…
Latest reaction to MSE's forum changes
Sadly, it seems we are losing another long-term user, who has been brave enough to be open about it. I thought I would link to it here, as it seemed appropriate to make sure that MSE get to see this, as cornishpasty's reaction represents how many of us feel, and highlights why we have lost so many regulars.…
EDITING PROFILE/SIGNATURE
This has possibly been asked before, but I can't find it.How do I edit my signature? On the old site you opened you signature, changed to bits you wanted to change and clicked save. This no longer works.
Thread replies I've posted have disappeared
I've made some replies to threads yesterday but they had disappeared, posted same reply to 1 thread and its still not showing. Anyone else had this happen ? This is a thread that's 1 example. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6320911/need-a-loan-of-50k-to-save-my-life/p1
Emails allegedly from Martin Lewis
Just received two emails to the address used for this forum, both allegedly from 'Martin Lewis'. I binned and deleted them straight away but both were along similar lines, offering advice about investment during these difficult times, and each coming from a non-MSE address (one looked like a fabric warehouse). One had…
ublock origin blocking forum posting
Sorry I dont disable adblock for anyone, not even for regular forums I use. I' just temporarily disabled it to post here, and will be re-enabling it after this post. uBlock origin is definately blocking me from posting on forum. I press post discussion, button goes grey to tell me I pressed it, but then the page doeen't…
read/replied tag to threads
You have that banner icon at the start of all thread titles on the boards Fill the banner to be blue to show that we have opened that thread and read the first post. Fill the banner to be orange to show there have been new replies since we last read it. Fill the banner to be Green to show we have replied to that thread…
Why am I asked to reset password every single time I try to log in?
I can only use the forum right after I have reset my password, which is every single time I use it, why? It can't be the password strength, I make sure the password strength bar is green, and I use password manager generated passes that are very complex.
Please close down the auto-enrolment board under Pensions
The only posts that end up in there now are by mistake and they don't get read/responded to. I do move them when I spot them but this sub-board is obsolete
Back to top button
Can this feature be included please? After reading to the bottom of a board it would be useful to have a 'back to top' button to save scrolling up... thanks.
What does 'Reactions' mean in my Profile?
When I view my Profile I see a box headed Reactions. It looks like this... I know that when I click on the THANKS figure I then see listed all the thanks I have received. I wondered what a PROMOTE was, and how I had managed to score one, so clicked on it to find out. The following screen was presented... I have 'checked…
Page repetition and difficulty sorting/arranging pages
I use the competition forum and I enter competitions by the end date. I.e. I sort the competitions by E: **/** in the first line of the post. So yesterday I sorted everything for 'E: 01/12' and entered all the competitions ending today. Or I thought I did. I've gone to do tomorrows ending competitions today and have come…
Various issues
Every time i try to click on a post, all it does is add it to my favourites, and not open the post. Have tried on different browsers and the same thing happens (im on an iPad). also i tend to view forums by the ‘latest posts’ links. Id open and read a post and then id use the back button on my browser to take me back to…
Email
Is email address public if some one clicks on a profile and if so is it possible how do you make it private.
Help! I'm lost!
Hi!! I haven't been on here for sooo long but am trying to dip back in again.I tended to live on the Matched Betting "group". Where is it now? I can't find it amongst all the links! Thanks!
Santander Credit Card Amazon voucher
Hi Team just to make you aware that a number of us, I know about 6 people, have had the voucher declined for the Santander offer you show on the site and I think the emails. Initially the company said we had not met the T&C then when we complained we were told it did not track. As we all know with these cash back deals and…

Is there a setting to subscribe to all your own posts? Not being a regular troll, I never seem to get any responses from MSE forums and now see why
