Scheduled Forum Downtime: Friday 30 October 14:00 - 18:00

Former_MSE_Ian

We’re currently going through a period of some neat and nifty updates to the site, which should make the forum more user-friendly. Unfortunately, to do this requires the forums to be closed from time to time (though we keep this as rare as possible, and try to pick less busy times if we can).

As part of this, the MoneySavingExpert forums will be closed in their entirety, starting 2pm this Friday 30th October. We hope the forums will be back up before 6pm.

During this time everything on www.moneysavingexpert.com will still function.

Sorry for any inconvenience this causes, and thanks for your patience, it’s much appreciated!

ADDITIONAL DOWNTIME: In order to test before the main work on Friday, we wil also need to take the Forum down tonight (Thursday) from 1am for a time (we're not sure how long but I would expect a couple of hours, minimum). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Once again, I only know about the forum closure as I have started logging out of the forum every day just to check for notices. As soon as I log in the warning disappears. This happened with the last closure notice for thread subscriptions. I have tried different browsers, cleared cookies, cache etc, but it is not there, and I wouldn't have known about the forum closing if I hadn't logged out (it shows up then)

I can't be the only one surely? Is it to do with being new & not having expired and spam buttons?

It's the same for everyone if your not logged in
A good idea to have the warning even if your not logged in:D

You've misunderstood. The warning is ONLY there when I'm not logged in. I can't see it if I am logged in. I wouldn't know anything about it if I stayed logged in all the time.

Hi folks,

Not sure about the login issue - wil ask the team to look.

As for the upgrades these ones are back-end i think - won't add any noticeable features to users - but will make the process run smoother, hopefully quicker, with more capacity and more securely.
