New to the MSE forum? Video guide to joining, FAQs and more

The MoneySavingExpert.com Forum is a social network where users discuss bargains and consumer issues, free from people trying to sell you things.

It's an amazing place with a huge wealth of helpful info and friendly people. But remember it's open to all, content isn't officially checked out by MSE and anyone can post on it.

Millions read it and 100,000s post the equivalent of 30+ paperback books on it every day. With 100 boards and sub-boards it's a wealth of information with a huge community of MoneySavers, including...

• The Old Stylers who discuss everything from war-time rationing to white vinegar.

• The Debt-free Wannabe Diarists detailing their latest triumphs in cutting their debt.

• Bargainistas sharing the latest deals tips on the hugely popular Grabbit board, voucher and code finds on Discount Codes 'n Vouchers and the Freebies board.

So now you've decided to join up and join in, watch our introductory video below. You'll learn how to register completely free, ask a question, send a private message and much more.
