New MSE website

AliceBanned

Just logged on to new Forum. I have signature text written over main body of posts! How do I amend this? Will it be due to my browser? Generally my pc needs a bit of tlc so if anyone could suggest what needs doing I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Stupid layout.  How can I tell if a member is online?
Why is the Bookmark in the main list of threads and not in the actual thread itself?

If I wanted to bookmark this thread I want it to be visible here somewhere, not having to go back
a page.

Why is the reply box double line spaced?

Anyone found a way to remove the stupid bookmark icon off the main thread listings? Its a clumsy/messy/stupid layout.


Partially answered my own question about the bookmark links silly location...
##.Options
But edit buttons use the same code.... How to remove just the bookmarks icon?

My, you really are peeved.....Maybe you should post in the New Forum Snagging thread. 
It's just a forum, it's perfectly usable, but, needs some TLC as they stated in the beginning. Most forum changes annoy long time users and need time to sort out.
 When they next change it, in about 5 years time, you will all be defending it to the death.....

Bit of a puzzle, I can’t access the forum on my iPad at all. It worked perfectly until the forum changed and updated. I can access using my phone and have tried clearing cookies, resetting network settings and a general reset on the iPad but still can’t get the forum pages to load . The main website will load but I just get a blank page whenever I try the forum. 

I’m hoping someone can answer this as well. I’m having the same issue. Will keep checking back here to see if there is a fix xx

On the old forum your user name was shown at top of page - you could click on it and see what and where you posted/replied to - is this gone as well now?

Can you tell the changes annoyed me?  I may have posted in that thread also, so many
threads going at the moment its hard to tell which one to use.

A few minutes with a couple of extra plugins and ublock and its CLUTTER FREE 

Line spacing in the reply box remains so far.   Wonder why they chose Vanilla for the forum
software?

These are my current uBlock Origin rules which make MSE much cleaner, in case they help anybody:

forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.mainNavHeader
forums.moneysavingexpert.com###header
forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.SecondaryPanel
forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.MainFooter.Footer
forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.MainContent.Content:style(width: 99% !important)

If this allows the threads/posts to occupy the full width please can you give me simple instructions on how to do it.
Many thanks
