You only need to pop over to a Saffron Branch to open a RS if you don't have any accounts with them. I applied for an E Saver, as it can be opened online, and then apply for the RS with no issues.

Has this E-Saver been withdrawn?

My favourite thread on the forum but now has a lack of timestamp.

Seems that forum posters names are deemed more important?

Just finding my way round the new setup too - not sure what browser/environment you're accessing it through but viewing on Chrome on a Windows PC, each post has a timestamp (for today's posts) or a date (for previous days), but hovering over either shows the full date and time.

Yeah I'm not seeing dates / times either on the mobile view... seems a bit of a backwards step. All about looking shiny and new rather than functionality it seems!

I'm getting an email everytime someone comments on a thread I'm following, rather than one daily email which is rather annoying

Even worse, I used to receive weekly digests for this thread rather than being notified minute-by-minute every time someone had a cup of coffee while opening a Virgin regular saver.
Hypocrtiically, I'm diving off topic to see if anyone has fuond the subscription freqeuency menu?
EDIT: Sorry Surreysaver, my post crossed with yours. Same annoyance.

I agree that the forum dosen't work on the firefox mobile.  There seems no reason not to include the full time + date.  Can we please have a way of going to the last item on a thread.  We don't often need to look at the details of the poster.

I don't agree. Having worked with forum software before, it looks like considerable effort has been expended to make it work as similarly as possible to the old forums, given that it's a completely new platform.

You can remove notifications here. Not sure when you can subscribe / unsubscribe from a topic or amend the frequency...

Maybe all these posts about the new forum would be better placed in a thread about the forum, rather than the Regular Saver discussion?
