I thought we could dedicate a thread for members to share a helpful tip / way of navigating the forum easier during this 'teething period'.  Could we just post tips and not use it as a discussion thread. I just think it would be more helpful to have lots of tips all in one thread rather than posted within many different threads. Thanks.

My tip: to sort by 'latest comp posted' use this link: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time?sort=new
:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    If you're getting loads of notification emails, click on the Notifications icon at the top right of page, (a bell), then from the drop down menu untick all the email boxes.

    The ticks n crosses, and sorting by date order tools are in hand, they WILL return, please be patient.

    Someone mentioned that where the Entered/Skipped options no longer exist, even in the individual posts, such as Post, phone & text comps, use the Bookmark option on the left hand side to indicate the ones you've entered. Not ideal, particularly if you are accustomed to using the Bookmarks feature for real bookmarking, but at least you can see the entered ones.

    Top tip would be to open all competitions from the main board into a new tab until the main page skip buttons are completed, cuts the time in half.
