We just wanted to let you know that we are doing some work on the site tomorrow morning first thing and so it will be unavailable for a short while (but not too long)

To keep Gransnet even more secure we are moving it from http to https (essentially an extra secure version of where we have been to date). It's a big job and tech are working their socks off to make it a smooth transition. But, as we know, gremlins can occasionally appear where least expected so if you do notice any issues do let us know and we will get them fixed.

Oh Goody! I have a lot of plants (autumn bargains) to stick in a new border so no distractions to keep me indoors.

Can you be unavailable until coffee break around 11am then I won't be tempted to down trowel? grin

That sounds good to me also merlotgran- I must go out shopping tomorrow am and with no distractions, what else will keep me indoors?

Hopefully it is a smooth operation and anything that makes us safer is welcomed.

What's 'first thing'? With any luck I'll still be in bed! grin

Oh well then maybe I'll have a lie-in, followed by a leisurely breakfast instead.

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 26-Oct-16 16:46:13

jollyg - it's all about moving it to the most secure platform tomorrow. Tech may run for the hills if we start asking for anything else confused

CariGN, have you considered taking a week's holiday so that I can get serious work done in this house?!!!

phoenix Wed 26-Oct-16 18:13:26

Is all OK today. I have tried to post a message, but nothing is happening.

Auntieflo Fri 28-Oct-16 10:09:52

Well, Murhphy's law etc. That seems to have worked.

AlieOxon Fri 28-Oct-16 10:15:15

I'm still in!

Nana3 Fri 28-Oct-16 10:20:42

I'm having lots of trouble posting .

Charleygirl Fri 28-Oct-16 10:22:20

It does appear to be slower.

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 10:26:15

Fine at my end, and it was yesterday morning the work was supposed to have been done, not today.

Nana3 Fri 28-Oct-16 10:50:11

3rd attempt with this post

LucyGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 28-Oct-16 11:48:45

Hi nana3 - that one worked! Are you still having trouble? And if so, could you let us know what's happening/any error messages when you try to post, so we can pass it on to the tech bods? Thanks

Auntieflo Fri 28-Oct-16 12:17:09

I'm glad that I'm not the only one having trouble posting. This morning I trie 4/5 times to post, nothing happened, although two did go through, on this thread. Odd, and it's not even Halloween yet, The Smileys don@t seem to work on my Asus??
in Preview at least

Auntieflo Fri 28-Oct-16 12:17:43

and I can't type

ninathenana Fri 28-Oct-16 15:27:58

I've been randomly ejected a couple of time. Including a couple of minutes ago whilst reading this thread. No trouble barging my way back in though thlsmile
