Sorry folks, really busy this week but if anyone's stuck with anything and aren't getting answers on the forum, Just fire me a PM.
(Popped if for a quick look and it says 76 notifications, so rapidly popping back out again   )

The email links aren't clickable for me -?  Is it the same for everyone?

I assume you mean email links in comp posts? If so, it's because the poster doesn't know how to make them clickable or can't be bothered. In the old forum it mostly happened automatically but there was a button for converting them if necessary. It can be done now by typing the information into the url link button but you need to know what to type in.
As per sleepyjones advice to me:-

Is there a way to make an email address clickable? 

Put in your text and then select the words you want to link by clicking and dragging, then click the wee icon that looks like a chain and put mailto: in front of the email address, so when you click the chain icon, in the box that appears you would type

mailto:hello@thisrandomemailaddress.com

To add a Subject to that you would do : 

mailto:hello@thisrandomemailaddress.com?subject=Competition

More a case of not having the time. I'm not finding the new forum particularly user-friendly and find myself not having the time to mess about with email links.  

Oh, and it is nice to have it conformed that email links used to happen automatically. I was beginning to think I'd imagined that.

Have any of the issues been resolved yet?
Nothing was mentioned in the weekly MSE newsletter about the new forum, which I thought it might have been.

How do we keep track of regular puzzler and tab puzzles entered? 

Would be good if comp_liment lit up permanently so know entered (avoiding dupes if Chrome doesn’t already show the TAB answer or Puzzler ticked)

If you click 'Comp-liment' button and number goes down, you've entered, if it goes up you haven't.
