Would someone mind 'thanking' me for this post?  Have a feeling the thank counter is also stuck and want to check it.  

I appreciate there's nothing inherently thank-worthy in the above text, so here's a picture of a kitten:

Thank you for brightening my day 

No.
I'm not thanking you until you send me that kitten. 😁

I still can't search in one forum category. Say for example I want to search the general Competitions for 'cash', I get all the results from across the entire forum and can't see a way to filter them to competitions.

Search is working fine. I assume you are OK with the first step:

• Firstly put your search term (using quotes is advisable) in the box and click "Search":

The following "Search Screen" appears, but the search results may not yet be useful:

1. Your search term in quotes
2. You MUST select "Threads" so the filter section appears on the right.
3. Select "Competitions Time" in the "Category" box
4. Box unticked and you will only see live competitions on the main board. Box ticked and you will see both main board live comps and also Post/Text comps and closed comps in Game Over.
5. Finally select "Newest" so the order of results is logical.

TIP: I leave the search open in a spare tab so for all subsequent searches I only have to edit the search term.

I'm getting notifications on this particular thread, but nothing from anything else I've ever posted on.

As I've mentioned on the thread below, I only seem to get Bell notifications for threads I have started. Any other thread where I've contributed (and even when a reply tags me) is not showing in the notifications list nor showing in the Bell counter.

Can someone confirm to what extent chat bots are being deployed on this new version of the forum?

Is there any guidance to how/when they will (or should) be used?

Sometimes they're easy to spot, but should CB posts be flagged as such, if used?

Thank you @One-EyeThat is very helpful.
Though it would still be easier to just search in the category that I am viewing.

I can't find any of that in the search on mobile site, which is what I use the vast majority of the time.

Re: notifications, my bell has been working although still the odd bug or it taking me several pages back into posts I've already read, and I don't get the pop-up any more either.  This has meant I forget to check my notifications because they're out of sight on the mobile view, I only remembered to check today when I switched to 'desktop site' to be able to underline in a post I really needed to (by changing to code view and swapping u in for i after making the relevant text italic - having an underline button would be SO much easier).

I'm not getting even that at the moment, only the 2 mentions in this thread since 13.
