If only we could set up a forum like our old one. 'The Duck Site' is the same as our old one, but for some reason it doesn't have replies set up so a thread can be run or daily answers put, but other things are great like being able to click settings so you don't have to see things we don't enter ie Gleam/Rafflecopter/etc and you can click Entered/Ignored/etc

Wouldn't it be even better if MSE just set a basic forum up like that and we sorted it out from there? We would still be part of the MSE family, and hopefully still have our friendly forum like we USED TO HAVE.

Any further announcements lately?

I haven't heard anything else, Cornish. I don't know if anyone else has? I'm guessing that we may not hear anything more from MSE until they, hopefully, sort the search stuff out by the end of this month. Fingers crossed, they will either do this, as they said they are aiming to do, or failing that, that they'll let us know if it's delayed for any reason.

I can often only click on the comp title if it runs to two lines.  Only one and it states Permission Problem enable JavaScript when I already have it.  Very frustrating.

K9lara, if you think this might be an MSE glitch, rather than something to do with your own set up, might it be worth posting in Site Feedback, so that the MSE team will see it?

I am sure this has been mentioned several times before. I believe that it only happens on iPads in Portrait mode and/or on mobiles. One answer given was to use Landscape mode instead of Portrait. I can't be sure of this as I don't use iPad or Mobile but it certainly does not happen on my Laptop.

You are correct thingamaBob and the workaround is a good one - it works !

New announcement today - Forumites! From Monday 16th August, group private messages will no longer be possible on the Forum. If there’s anything you need to make a note of from previous chats, please make sure you do so before this date.

Hmmmm !

Not sure of reason behind but it’s probably so we can’t be unkind to anyone in any way.
Not certain how we can communicate now without bumping posts unnecessarily or hoping someone looks in chat
