Lost 'quick links'
Was there not a 'quick links' icon on the menu? I can't recall having to go to 'Forum Home' to then select 'Followed Content' until recently. Perhaps the red storm has waterlogged my brain!
Closed and moved threads
When you go onto a closed and moved thread it usually says......moved to a more appropriate board. Would it be possible to actually put which board it's been moved to?

Searching a specific thread ?
Is there a way on here to search solely within one thread? Specifically, I want to search within this huge thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6576962/the-top-regular-savers-discussion-thread#latest
Notifications
Is there a way to be notified if someone reacts to one of my comments either by issuing a thanks or by quoting me? I only seem to get notifications when someone has posted on a thread I've bookmarked but no notifications for any direct interactions.
Subscribing
Just wanted to ask - sometimes when reading peoples posts on some of the threads they state "I have subscribed to your thread" Not sure what this means - does it just mean they are follwing or are they paying some sort of subscription to the thread?
Online Safety Bill and Forums
I was just wondering how the OSB will/might affect MSE forums. It seems that websites with "user generated content" will be subject to new rules and I have read that some smaller forums may end up closing down.
Minor bugs and niggles
Hi. I enjoy using the MSE Forum. I just wanted to post a few little bugs and niggles that the software team may wish to look into. (1) Ctrl+arrow should move one word. When you edit a post, the cursor doesn't move as expected. In almost every other editor you can move one word at a time by hitting Ctrl+ left or right…
How do I delete my Forum Account
how do I delete a Forum Account
How many words can you have in a new thread/Post.
Is there a limit to how many words you can have in one post? I have a post with 1,402 character and it won't post on this forum? I keep getting an error message.
What is a "Comp-liment"?
What is a "Comp-liment" and how do you give them? Apparently I have 2 such "Comp-liments" but I can only view one of them. What are they for and how do they differ from "Thanks"?
Hi Martin - I'm not a newbie but a golden oldie
I had to change my email address as my data has been compromised , please update me and keep up the fantastic work you all do - xx PS - you'd make a fab Prime Minister x
How to add a signature
I am new to this forum and a bit overwhelmed due to visual impairment and disability. How do I create/edit a signature ? I seem to find settings for signature which say something about video not been supported, but there does not appear to be anything I can edit as my Sig, just tick boxes and a field that does not let me…
Notification Settings Problem
Hi, I would like to reduce the amount of notifications I'm getting on the forum but when I go to the notification settings, there is nothing there.
How to get email notifications
I do not seem to get notifications from this forum, it says I am subscribed to some old ones, but usually on forums there is are some settings that allow one to set whether any thread I contribute to gets automatically subscribed. I do not get any at all, except if I am logged in and refresh the screen. I have gone through…
Is it now impossible to edit and/or delete your own post?
In the past there used to be a 'gear' button for this, sometimes invisible, but now I cannot find it.Or is it some restriction for new members only?
Request a Forum Badge Discussion Thread
This is a discussion thread for Request a Forum Badge
Why Are Some Posts Inadmissible?
It does seem a shame that it doesn't prove possible to have a cordial discussion about certain topical news stories without them swiftly escalating into divisive rhetoric and being closed/deleted, perhaps there should be some sort of sticky or pinned thread that clarifies the forum admin's position on this in a bit more…
Feature request - unsubscribe from thread
As there's work going on for 2025 - I have a feature request - I might be dull if I can't see it - but would love to be able to unsubscribe from threads where I've posted in the dim and distant past, but it's not a topic I'm interested in anymore - an example being the Sky TV retentions deals where I posted my experience…
Unable to edit posts?
I have just joined but I am unable to edit my posts- I read a previous post that said the edit button should appear instead of the thanks button when I am logged in but that isn't the case? I am still seeing thanks- when I click on it, it says it isn't possible to do it on my own posts. I am not seeing anything on the…
