    I can assure you that the !! incident this morning was a complete accident on our end. It happened because we were eager to get the spam off our boards. The timing is inconsequential :)

    It looks like we're on top of it now though, so we can get back to normal!

    That's really good to know MSE Megan. Thank you for keeping us updated; it was helpful in what must have been a pretty grotty day for you all-round.

    Here's to a better tomorrow! x ;)

    When we start paying for memberships, I think then we have the right to be a bit annoyed about it taking time to fix. But when it's costing me nothing, and I get so much helpful advice out of it, I am happy to wait.


    I definitely second this. The MSE team were clearly doing their best. And I cannot agree more with Krlyr - it's a free site and yet, often, a priceless one in terms of support and advice.

    As I mentioned before, there are some sites out there that are so troll-infested it defies belief. I think MSE gets off comparatively lightly - largely due to the Forum Teams' efforts. No complaints from me. :)

    A free site eh?

    So all the workers of MSE work for pure love of the place and Martin Lewis has made no money?!

    I wasn't complaining per se I was just a bit staggered that at various times through the morning it didn't seem to be fixed and indeed if you did want to find a post/make a new one, you'd be put off.

    Anywhere I've worked before or/and other sites seem to be quicker off the mark. But I'm being overly critical here and it has been sorted out.

    Well... I know. :o And there is no doubt that the Forum has in part helped to make Mr. L. an exceedingly wealthy man. But it is free to subscribe and I know I'm definitely better off due to the advice I've read on here.
