Where is the (Consumer) Vent Board?

RacyRed

Have I gone nuts? I cannot find the (Consumer) Vent board!

I thought it was a child board of Praise, Vent and Warnings but I cannot find it in the main index nor is it showing above PV+W, the way child boards usually do.

The only way I could find it was to use subscribed threads, as a thread I'd contributed to had been moved there. The map to the board (at the top of the page) says

Home » Forums > Home & Play> Praise, Vent & Warnings ...
» The (Consumer) Vent Board

So why can't I find it when I check the forum index or look on PV+W?

Did my hairdresser overdo the blonde highlights again?

It's now just Praise, Vents and Warnings. Yes, they're all mixed up together.

I do remember an explanation when it happened, so there is a good reason for it! Just don't ask me what it was now, it's been a long day.

Thanks Savvy_Sue.

The threads on consumer vent do not show on the PVW board or anywhere else that I can find unless people subscribe to the threads.

I just posted on there at 9:52 AM, but in the main index the most recent post showing is on a different subject, posted at 9:43 AM.

So if people cannot find the board, they are unlikely to post on it, so the majority of threads on there must have been moved to it by BGs?

The link to the board is, http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=55

MSE Team, It looks as if Consumer vent is a bit of a graveyard really. That is a shame. Can something be done to let it be seen in the same way as other boards on MSE?

Thanks

It is possible that if you updated an old thread on the old board, it wouldn't show on the new board - is that what you're saying?

An email to [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL] with a link and a PM to the BGs might get it moved the old thread moved to the new board.

Its an error in BG tools as they still show that we have a Vent board, Warnings an 5 Star boards and the thread has been moved to it rather than the combined Praise Vent and Warnings Board.

I've reported it to the techie people to fix.

I prefer the old name "Vent, Bent and Heaven Sent" - always made me smile, no matter how many times I saw it!

It is a new, and very interesting, thread Savy_Sue.

So the board only exists in the BG's tools? That explains it, thanks Edinburghlass. Maybe if I ask the BG who moved it originally they would be able to move it again to PVW instead.

Have to admit I liked "Vent, Bent and Heaven Sent" better too

I'm sure that the BG would be only too happy to put things right! And I'm glad that EdiLass worked out what had happened.

The BG who moved it originally can't move the thread again and in fact only the MSE team can sort out the threads that have been moved to these boards in error but as I say I have alerted the team so they should get it sorted out in the next day or so.

Ok thanks, I've contacted the techie team about this particular thread, as you have already notified them of the underlying problem with the BG tools.
