Forum still not up and running properly?!

Popped back this morning to see if the updates have been made to the site yet such as the red/green boxes on the main page but still nothing has changed! I used to love this forum and found comping so easy on the old website. Do we have any idea if this function will ever be added? In the meantime I have switched to another site but keep holding out hope that admin will make these changes but it’s been weeks now 😥

It's not the same is it? I miss the hovering over posts and seeing the content, I come on occasionally but don't stay long

Well there is a lockdown on you know  

It's been months..and I'm sure IT people can work from home.

It would be nice to know, tho'... 
When we get a "We have other priorities right now," response if we dare to ask, it fails to recognise that we had problems way before all this Covid nonsense.
Sadly we're finding many of the good have got going, to reorder the above...

I agree that it's really not the same anymore.
I thought they would have gotten round to at least letting us hover over the posts, OR, the one thing that I am really missing is the ability to type in the number of what page I want to skip to instead of faffing around clicking page numbers.
Even searching is a massive effort because when you do get results, it brings up not only the actual thread, but every single response to that thread first, but doesn't tell you if you have entered comps unless you click into the stupid thing. It's not helpful and seems very disorganised.
It's like they want us to waste time and get annoyed.
I've found that I am spending less and less time on here since they changed it. They haven't taken in any suggestions that we proposed when they asked for opinions.
I hope that when the lockdown is over, they at least make a start on some of our suggestions.
Be Lucky.

I was wondering this too. We used to have a brilliantly accessible forum which was so easy to use. Now it's clunky and not user friendly at all. Takes a bit of joy out of the hobby!

If you deselect Replies in the "What to search" options, it doesn't include replies in the search results.

Can anyone confirm whether the MSE team can work on the site problems from home?  I assumed they would be able to but haven't seen any changes to confirm?

Thanks to everyone that posts comps and answers - but I'm disappointed that SO many seem to be Instagram which I don't use (is that where promoting companies want to go to get coverage?).  There are so few ordinary online comps to enter if you take out all the IGs....!

You can jump to whatever page you want, just use your browser search bar at the top of your screen

for example https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time/p37 will take you to page 37, if you change the 37 on the end to 15 it will take you to page 15 etc
