Site feedback and Forum Help

Need help using the MSE Forum, or want to share feedback about how this website works?

Mark all threads "Read"
As a relative newcomer to this forum (but not to forums in general), one thing that still stumps me is marking a forum as read. Am I missing something obvious?
Advise If A Thread Commented On Gets Removed Please 😣
I commented on a thread a day or so ago and when i returned to find follow up answers/comments on it it had disappeared. Site Mods - instead of just making that thread disappear a little courtesy would be appreciated and tell the commenters (via an inbox message) that you have felt it necessary to remove it for whatever…
Pressing the back button and the page refreshes twice
This should go on the feedback section but thought there are some knowledgable lot in here who would help. I press the back button and MSE page refreshes twice, how do I stop it it's doing my swede in ? Running Safari on a MAC , it doesn't happen anywhere else just MSE forum
How do i stop getting a notification every time someone replies to a thread?
It's getting on my nerves now. Quidco and Topcashback threads. Every day i'm getting a stack of notifications that someone has posted on them. How do i stop that happening?
How to find my username!
As above. I'm hoping it will show up here so I can then search for my old post!
Indentation
Please see next post. Please see next post.
Notification emails
In the old forum, I had these set up so if I subscribed to a thread I'd get one email at the end of the day, if there'd been any new posts that day, summarising all the new posts from the day. Now, I seem to be getting a separate email for every new post, which is a bit much for busy threads. Is it possible to set it up as…
Call me paranoid, if you like, but....
...a thought occurred to me today... What if Martin Lewis wanted to get rid of the comping section of his forum? From all I've observed, he is a nice guy. I think he would be reluctant to simply close our comping sections down. What he might well prefer, would be to make it a lot less 'user friendly' and hope that we all…
An unhappy forum
Hi there, I want to make the team fully aware of the level of unhappiness many of your loyal comping members are feeling, due to the changes made to the forum. Some have left mse, and/or given up comping altogether. Of those who have stayed. many are very unhappy with what used to be a fun and friendly hobby, but now feels…
Thanks button needs to be on all boards
Was a member of this forum a few years back with a different username. You could be thanked for every post. But the MoneSavingBoards and others you can't thank the posts. Any ideas why? Read some brilliant posts but unable to thank them.
Email notifications have stopped
i logged into my emails today expecting as usual for there to be some notifications from threads here. There were none at all. I assumed it must be one of those fluke days that are really quiet. However when i logged into the forum i saw there were some notifications of posts in threads i am in. so what happened to the…
“most recent” no longer available
So it used to be possible to click on “most recent” and go right to the end of a thread. I, and many others, quite often did this and worked back the way for numerous reasons. Now it’s no longer possible - why? What was a one click process is now several and lots of scrolling. Was there really any user input to the new…
Query - Where can I report a member for stealing posts from elsewhere?
So I noticed that bp5678 is stealing other's posts from other forums and changing the referral detail to his own - i tried to link evidence but I can't post a link as I just joined. Granted this time it was for a service that neither website supports as it turns out it's dodgy as anything, but still doesn't change that…
FAULT in Edit Profile - related to username
In "Edit Profile" you are not allowed to save changes if you have a hyphen in your username
Search on Author Broken
As title really. Any attempt to search on an author results in 'Oops, something went wrong' It just seems to be one problem after another with this new software
Editing an issue for submission
When editing a submission I get a red alert saying "one character short" which I don't understand or what I am required to do to add the thread for discussion. Can someone advise me how to proceed. Thanks
Password reset but no email received (not even in spam folder)
I've had to create a new account to post this message I haven't posted since March 2019 and when I tried to login a few days ago I got the message... You need to reset your password. This is most likely because an administrator recently changed your account information. Click here to reset your password. So I entered my…
Thanks Button
my thanks button on all threads/boards has vanished. This includes compliments on the competition boards. Is this new, glitch or specific to me?
Badges // What ones are there and how do I get them?
Hi everyone. I'm wanting to see a list of all the badges that are available to get and what you have to do to get them. I know some are automated like the number of posts or the birthday ones, but there are so many others that I want to know what they are, how to get them etc but when you click on the individual badges the…
Showing if comp Entered/Skipped in search results.
Would this be possible please? Currently I mark competitions as Entered/Skipped, which is fine. I can see if I've marked it as either one on the main forum, but if I search for something, in the search results, I cannot see this. (see attached image) and I have to click into each one individually to see if I have entered…
