• Search only Competitions Time easily?
  Click the Purple Search icon next to the page numbers, will search only this forum.

GREAT - and how do I prevent seeing multiple results for each thread instead of just the first please?

Advanced search, category competitions time- untick the replies & polls. If the button is blue then it's ticked.
Here's a link you might want to bookmark, because it's annoying finding the category every time. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search?adv=1&search=&title=&author=&cat=72&tags=&discussion_d=1&within=1+year&date=

Does anybody know where the thread subscriptions are? 

@borntoshop Is that the same as Bookmarks?
Bookmarks button is to the top right, or you can use this link : https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussions/bookmarked

@cornishpasty1 ... Yeah, I just figured that'll be getting a bit spammy in there and 100 people will be asking the same questions, so I figured it might be an idea to get a definitive list in here and weed out the User error type "bugs",  we can then compile that into a proper list for their developers to look at, may also stop people from posting a new thread in Compers Chat.

another vote for hover text and ability to cross/tick from main page

Also - although I have all my bookmarked threads I can't see how to put them in folders as before - they're all there in one long list, which isn't actually very useful

it's not immediately obvious whether i have thanked a post 

really miss my 200 posts per page

I can't seem to find a way to open a thread that I've previously seen and go to the 1st (oldest/original) post - it always defaults to the newest "unseen" post - is there a little link somewhere in search results/thread listings to just always load the whole thread up I'm missing?

im just totally lost cant put in date order, no green/red for me to do without clicking so i can sort what i do and dont want to enter. hope this isnt the finished product, its totally comper unfriendly

@BackAgain Yeah, this is a known problem with the RTE (Rich Text Editor). 
If you copy and paste from a website, or from a Word document it will often take the styling from the original document / webpage.  The easiest way to stop this from happening is to paste it first into a text editor like Notepad, this will strip out all of the extra styling that you don't want and you can then paste that into the forum.  
It's not the best, but this is a known issue in Javascript.

On the positive side, the spam button is now nowhere near the thanks or entered buttons, and we haven't seen the return of the awful set fields for end dates which were tried previously!

Ordering by date is in the queue for tweaking, but there's still A LOT to do.

Great idea 

Firstly I can't see how to sort in whatever order we want ie latest post, thread starter, end date, etc etc
and I saw in the other thread that we will be able to pick up where we last viewed, but not sure how the forum are sorting the threads
I desperately need the red cross/green tick (hopefully that will come through in due course as I see previous x skipped or ticked for entered

EDIT: I've just spotted the red cross/green tick boxes, they are greyed out but they are there

Not a pain at all, haha. I'll keep Notepad open when posting.

Thanks
