I can't see an expired button anywhere?

List if problems from page 1 of this thread, If it's here you don't need to bring it up again.
Current Issues : 

1. We need the red X / Green Ticks back on the main listing - This is being worked on by the dev team as we speak.
2. Thread title font size is too big - I was zoomed in on my browser 'cause the green site was too small, but proportionately, the title sizes are still too big
   
3. Emoticons appear huge in search results (ie search for "Oschar" from within the last month on the Competitions Time forum)
4. Need the ability to search / list threads by Date / Title (especially useful for End-Daters)  - This is being worked on by the dev team as we speak.
5. Thread details should show on hover on the titles in the main board.
6. Don't know if you've entered in the Game Over board, makes it difficult to thank the correct user if you do win as it's hard to tell which competitions you did or didn't enter.
7. Mark Expired button.
8. No way to unclick "Entered" without changing the status to Skipped.
9. Entered / Skipped should appear in Search results
10. Character Limit in posts? ... could potentially be an isssue with Terms heavy comps and would be a total nightmare for something like an Advents thread / Compers Challenge post.

Nice to have?

• Nice to be able to show more results per page.
  
• Show a notification if you've commented on a thread
• Can't link to a specific reply in a thread (ie #5, reply number 5)
  The format for a link to a specific post in the middle of a thread is:
  https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/76814228#Comment_76814228
  Find the 8-digit comment number by hovering over the "Quote" button (bottom left of each post)
  (Thanks @One-eye)

The Enter & Skipped buttons aren't in the threads on the "Post, phone & text comps" forum, can that be added to the list?

I never bookmarked Mag Dailies previously, I just searched MD and they all came up in a list. I'd open them all and drop them into One Tab and enter throughout the day. However, I'm not able to do the same search on MSE now, I was getting comps from last year showing up. Has anybody found a solution please?

thanks to everyone who is being constructive and helpful about the new forum, particularly sleepyjones for setting this thread up!
I've searched fruitlessly, so apologies if this has been asked umpteen times before, but does anyone know if the "subscribe for daily / weekly email updates" option is still around anywhere? I used it on the old forum for things like puzzler and advents (and some non-comp threads), but at the moment I can only see "email notifications" which is every post, or none.

It is every post or none.

Would be great to have a nice big THANKS! button instead of this silly little Comp-pun thing.  Just me??

Nope, it's not just you. Using the old thanks button you knew easily if you'd thanked a post, but with this one you can only tell if you hover over the comp button and happen to have been one of the last ten people to have clicked on it.
