Yes indeed - IS there 'anything else moneysaving'..?

Well, I think this was a perfectly reasonable suggestion to fill in what appears to be an obvious lack in what is otherwise a splendid site.

If nobody wishes to take notice, too bad. At least I've pointed it out.

You can't really do a summary of the whole site, as the site covers too many areas.

I tend to look at the home and family type boards most as that is what interests me. I never read the wedding or the gambling boards as I'm already married and I rarely gamble. I'm sure everyone else is the same with a mix of favoured forums and other ones that they totally ignore.

If you start duplicating threads from all the areas of the site, you'll still have the problem of sifting through them all to find the ones that interest you most.

You're wasting your time. None so deaf .......?

I have to admit that reading my previous post I may have seemed to be a bit harsh. The sentiment of the post is still valid, but sorry if it sounded like I was attaching you.

The point is the site is too big and covers too wide a variety of subjects to do that.

If all the money saving posts were gathered in the same place you, and every one else, would still be reading a board where we are not interested in most of the posts.

I can only speak for myself, but regard myself as a typical user. As such there are some boards I read a lot, some only when I have a problem that relates to that board and others I never read. I just pick the ones I am interested in and read them regularly. If I have problem/question that is suitable for a board I don't usually read I just do a search in that board. If I don't find the answer I ask on the board. Once my problem/question is sorted I usually never go back to that board.

To be honest, I doubt anyone is interested in everything posted on every board every day.

You could always subscribe to the RSS feeds, depending you which one you select, you can quickly see all new subjects, or just ones in the areas you're interested in.

I've just spent a few minutes looking for an rss feed, and can't find it.

I use Firefox and love rss feeds, but can't find one for this forum, can you point me in the right direction?

I think this is a bonkers suggestion.

I frequent the comps boards where there can be over 100 new comps a day. There's probably a similar high number of new posts a day in the Quick, Grabbit board. Is there a practical way of summarising all these posts, plus all the other new ones on all the other fora into 1 mega summarised forum. I personally wouldn't like to have to do that job and I wouldn't ask a volunteer to do it either. Of course if Jolanta is volunteering, perhaps just for a week to show us how its done, then I'd be interested to see the results of her labour.

Personally I don't think there is an 'obvious lack' in MSE and so far only 1 in over 200k seems to have asked for it.

Click the orange RSS icon in the address bar of your browser. The feed you get will relate to where you are when you click it (you can either get the whole site, or individual boards.)

Jolanta, you seem to have missed what everybody is saying! So, to summarise:

* The weekly highlights are in the weekly newsletter.
* If there is something in particular that you are looking for, use the Search function.

Thankyou i will now sign up to that newsletter
