I think there are definitely some improvements in the notification process.  This morning, if I follow any notification, it does at least now remove the red dot with a number after I've visited that page - which it wasn't doing yesterday.

@cymruchris - if you visit https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/profile/notifications can you not see the new posts listed there in chronological order- it's a 'per post' list like we used to get from the notification drop down.

Going to notifications that way still only gives me updates to this thread and nothing from anywhere else on the boards:

I've just had a scroll back through the pages of notifications - and the last time I got notification of anything different was the 13th July:

Strange @cymruchris that it's seemingly working inconsistently - I just checked my own and it's showing an accurate list for me, including threads started this week and new posts to very long running ones.  You'd think if it was incorrect,  it'd be the same way incorrect for everyone.

Yes - you're right - if it doesn't work for me - it shouldn't work for you and vice versa.... Hopefully someone behind the scenes is looking at it.

Apologies if this point has already been raised, but the message at the top of each thread page reads "Did you know Forumites are able to edit and delete their own posts? Just hit the cog icon at the top right of your post ..."

There is no "cog icon" on my laptop screen, just three dots.

Is this another overlooked (but significant) detail or am I missing something?

And while I'm posting this - and I know others have already raised this point - why is this font in the "Leave a Comment" box so ugly?  [Edit: why is it different at all?  It looks untidy and random]

Your post count is still fairly low - I understand that the cog doesn’t appear until you’ve been a member for a certain time / number of posts - so you might find you’re falling into that category. Nobody seems to know what the actual threshold is though. But a few more days and a few more posts and you’ll likely see it appear. 

I've been here for over 15 years and have over 30k posts.
I don't see the cog now (on my laptop and my mobile).
Just 3 dots that, when I click on it, gives me the option to edit or delete.

Is anyone still seeing the cog?

Hi

The cog has now been replaced with the 3 dots. 

We'll update that message as soon as we can to reflect the change, but we want to make sure changing that message doesn't trigger an email notification given our current issues with notifications.

Thanks, Stephen.

Couldn't see anything about the roll-over dropdown menus at the top of the pages on the Update?

Is this going to be looked at (please).

It's the main thing I find annoying now as I don't use the notifications.

I'm finding the site to be very slow since the change over with pages taking quite awhile to load fully

Thanks for the feedback on the missing cog @MSE_Stephen. I agree with the poster who asked that the feedback on progress is posted on this thread. It seems the obvious place as this is where posters are raising concerns.

Incidentally, when I started to type your username, the predictive box sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. That's not a new issue as it happened on the previous format but it's a bug that needs addressing.
