Formatting not very good
Came here to say I find the text formatting options not very good. When writing a message the writing/editing pane is not WYSIWYG, it displays as double line spacing but when it posts or preview the line spacing changes to single line spacing. So That is annoying. When I want to quote from another website there is no quote…
Forum Really Slow - DDoS Attack?
Is anyone else finding the forum to be really slow this afternoon, and sometimes giving 503 No Server Available errors? Is the forum under a DDoS attack?
New posts
The new posts/recent discussions page has stopped working properly for me - pages 2 and onwards will only show 'all forums' and not 'favourited'. Firefox browser. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussions/p2
Control-arrow key combination broken behaviour in UI for message compose box in HTML view
I'm sure such a fundamental thing must have been complained about before, but search isn't throwing anything useful up. When is the ctrl-arrow functionality in the message edit box going to be fixed? * Ctrl-left and Ctrl Right should go to the next word boundary within the same line. * Shift-Ctrl-Left and Shift-Ctrl-Right…
Split IN MY HOME into sections
People use the In My Home section for pretty much DIY related questions. But I want to ask another question. However I don't feel it would generate much discussion as it's about toilet bleach in a forum that is heavily DIY related. Create some sub sections for DIY and allow the main forum to be for things around the home…
Forum not processing keyboard shortcuts properly
I'm experiencing issues with standard Windows keyboard shortcuts on this new "Vanilla" forum software, for example: * Ctrl + Left Arrow: should move my cursor left by 1 word * Shift + Ctrl + Left Arrow: should move my cursor and extend the current highlighted selection left by 1 word The same problem appears with the Right…
Moneysavingexperts in other countries?
I'm looking at the options of moving abroad (Portugal) but I can't find a moneysavingexpert equivalent where we're going. It would be great to have a resource of where you can find similar advise overseas! Does this exist or can it be created?
Unable to access threads on House Buying Selling forum beyond page 1
Hi there are over 100K threads on House Buying selling. I can see only page 1. This seems to be a bug Strange thing, I am able to access page 2 threads on other topics except the one mentioned above.
Forum unuseable
why / how are posters allowed to post the same rubbish over and over without being blocked? surely there are tools to lock users using the same keywords in their posts in a short amount of time?
MSE has closed the Money Saving Arms.
I for one am not sorry because it was far too addictive and consequently time consuming. We all can now get out more and get a life (covid permitting)!
**FAULT** Main Forum Display problem with Sub-Forums
For the past few days the sub-forums at the top of a main forum page sometimes show the "Most recent" thread incorrectly. This is intermittent, it is not dependent on browser, nor on login status. The first screenshot shows the "NO NEED TO SHOUT" thread as the most recent in both the "Compers Chat Corner" and "I won! I…
How do you unsubscribe from a thread these days?
You used to be able to unsubscribe from a thread using a link in the notification email but not any more. No information available on the Help page either.
How Do I Get The Weekly Newsletter
For more years than I care to remember I have received the weekly email on my current address.. For some reason it now goes to my old email address of 8 years ago not my current address. I tried to change it but my efforts fail because it says my new e-mail address is already receiving it - but it isn't - it did up to two…
Instructions/Guidance on how to post etc
Yes I know I managed to post this but I recently tried to quote part of someone’s post and I had a message saying something like ‘one character too short’. is there a reference guide or something on the forum that I can read to learn how to post and quote properly? Can’t see where emojis are either. I could easily use the…
Site sloooooooooowwwwwwww
All threads seem to take a long time to load. At least one minute. Horrendous. By editing the browser line and pressing enter it seems to help. Other websites are fine and my broadband download and upload speeds are fine. Is anyone else experiencing this?

coronavirus - thread disappeared
There was a thread yesterday in the coronavirus support forum, with 15 or so pages of replies, entitled "so much for tesco's 'concern'', which has disappeared, and when I click on it in my 'history' it says I"do not have permission to do that". Why would I get that message, and where has it gone? There were some good…
Blue banner 'Cards & Loans, Household Bills' etc disappearing on forum pages
The dark blue (almost black) banner that reads "Cards & Loans Household Bills Complain & Reclaim Banking & Savings Mortgages & Homes Travel Insurance Deals & Shopping Income & Budgeting Students", which used to show on all forum pages, is, on my PC (Chrome on Windows 10) briefly appearing when a forum page loads, then…
