In 'edit profile' I see the option to <<Display Skimlinks? >>

As I've never heard of skimlinks can anyone advise?

If you click on Links MSE follows/tracks you and they might get some money.
It's been on here for years.

They are links that if clicked on MSE gets paid.

And have been used on the site for years - there was info about them on the old forum.

How do we search for MD in the Competitions forum without bringing up expired or chat threads? You used to be able to search under active listings.

Using Safari browser on an iPad there  is a problem using the quote function. If one does so one’s comment ends up in the quote rather than below it. Anyone reading the post will then be unable to distinguish between the original quote and the comment added. I will now try and quote this post and add a comment.

Well it worked fine that time so apologies, but on another board/thread it didn’t.

Ticks and crosses are in hand, and we'll soon be able to sort by end date too. Lots of work going on at MSE Towers all weekend, please be patient

I am using Safari browser on an iPad and can't see the Forum at all. I can only see it on my PC. My iPad is version 10.3.3 so quite old but this is a money saving site after all so I hope you are not discriminating against users who don't keep paying for new versions of devices that work perfectly well in other respects. The BBC has already stopped those of us with older iPads from using 'Sounds' - I hope MSE is not following suit.  

I was wondering if this was the reason I can see the Forum on one iPad which has had all the upgrades, but like you, get only a completely blank page on another iPad which is about the version of yours. That latter iPad is the one I use most, as I don’t like the upgraded version.

It's not 'discrimination', but eventually it becomes impossible to keep compatibility with older versions as things reach end of support or end of life. This is down to the way the software industry works, and not something MSE can do much about as a customer.

MSE You have CAUSED people UNTOLD PAIN by reinstating Private Messages that they thought had been DELETED.
You have caused TROUBLE AND UPSET.

Thank you for letting us know that your previously deleted messages have re-appeared in your inbox and we’re sorry to hear this is causing you distress. As you’re aware, we recently moved the Forum onto a new platform and what’s happened to you is an unintended consequence of the move. We can assure you this data is secure and has not been breached in any way or made public. Meanwhile, the MSE team is working hard to sort the issue out. We’ll keep you updated with our progress – we really appreciate your patience.

I hope someone can work out how to get the useful information about feature/function issues out from in amongst the chat and the moaning  
Thankfully our forum at work is so boring no one chats on it

They could have acknowledged some of the issues already, which would have cut down on this thread a lot if they had done.  OP has not been updated in over 2 days.
Speak of the devil though, here is MSE_Tine on the private message issue! woo hoo.

The Team is working on lots of the snagging issues and as I said earlier we are going through this thread and compiling all the issues in the first post whilst removing any duplicate reports to keep it accessible for people. This is a very time consuming process which we don't want to rush to make sure we have logged everything to work through. 
Bear with us for the next few weeks, we are working hard to sort everything for you as quickly as we can and will update you all as soon as we can
