Even worse now, it has stopped the "something went wrong" message" and takes you to page 2 but then it still gives the option to go to page 2 and won't move on to page 3.

Hi again

We are checking out a fix. But as there are still issues, we will switch back to the New Layouts for the time being so that navigation is possilbe.

Hi again everyone.

If this issue persists we will shortly try switching to the "New Layouts" version of pages while we wait for the issue to be resolved.

These aren't really ready for prime-time and might look a bit ugly, but we hope will restore functionality.

The downside is that some custom features, like the special features on Competitions Time would be temporarily unavailable. 

It is terrible now can't enter any comps as could end up duplicating entries and getting disqualified

Hi

You should be able to use the checkmarks from inside each thread. That view remains the same.
I'm aware that doesn't help seeing on the index at a glance - which is a major problem.

Still a nightmare to go through having to go through every single link to see if you have entered or not. Have given up now and just doing bookmarked ones just hope it doesn't take too long to fix. Wish things had just been left as they were originally before everything got upgraded as never had all these problems then but seems like it's every week now there is a new problem.

I don't *mind* the new layout (I know it's currently temporary) but feedback for before it's actually rolled out:
> The thread info is very cluttered - I don't need to know how many 'points' a thread has not which forum/subforum it's in whilst I'm looking at the threads from that sub/forum, and
> my usual link to the 4 boards I use doesn't work and I can't find how to get to that exact view.  'Followed content' doesn't show me the time of the last post so I have to click on the board to see if there's been any activity since I last looked.  Missing that information at a glance is admittedly a minor niggle but a niggle nonetheless, I don't want to lose it permanently.

@Spoonie_Turtle I can see that "Followed Content" doesn't give as much as the Boards with the Followed Toggle. 
Does it help that you can use the "Latest Threads" page with a filter to just see from "Following"?:

Thanks for the suggestion but wow that would be an overwhelming way to navigate!  It's not just a case of 'I don't like it / am not used to it', my brain has to switch gears for different boards and having them all jumbled up like that doesn't work for me.

Might be useful for some others though

I noticed "points" earlier today, what's that all about? Are there prizes

May I just add that I appreciate the MSE Forum team (aka Stephen) responding swiftly and sympathetically to the issues. I also really appreciate the constructive responses to the feedback. Thank you.

The new look has to have one of those listed as a suffix
EG https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time?sort=-dateInserted
or https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time/?sort=experimentalTrending (whatever they might change the suffix to further in time).
