We have not got a profile page

We cant edit.

We dont have a posting list, [who posts what where] available on many other sites.

GN entices with books, freebies from the publishers.

Sadly we are being bought for a mess of potage.

Owners dont give a tuppenny toss what we do as long as their coffers are filled, and not a sweary word from me YET

x post.
Yes it was you. There are not very many of us on that thread.

soontobe Wed 11-Nov-15 16:32:08

It is quite possible to find the quote in this instance.

Galen Wed 11-Nov-15 16:29:53

blush I think that might of been me!
And yes, I am disabled

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 11-Nov-15 16:01:37

For the profiles thread, put 'Substitute profiles thread' in the search box.

Alea Wed 11-Nov-15 15:18:01

So the "ouch" makes him/her "quite disabled", jollyg?
Pass me my blue badge then! grin

(Might have been a figure of speech?)

TriciaF Wed 11-Nov-15 14:42:02

As for profiles, there's a lovely thread somewhere with photos and profile notes - even I managed a photo!
Probably not everyone, but several pages.

May I with all due humility, on blended knees (ouch) beseech you to kick tech in the perineal region to get profiles working again?

Now , will someone please help me up?

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 11-Nov-15 13:39:16

Alea no, I don't care either. wink

loopylou Wed 11-Nov-15 13:03:56

Pretty lonely strike me thinks jollyg!

Elegran Wed 11-Nov-15 12:44:33

It is like the old "Palace of Varieties" - chiefly, ladies and gentlemen, yourselves!

It is those who post who make the forum what is it.

*US OLD TIMERS LOVE YOU GNHQ LOT*cupcakewine

Alea Wed 11-Nov-15 11:55:57

And will it irrevocably damage advertising revenues if I <whisper> that I take no notice of any advertising?

loopylou Wed 11-Nov-15 11:41:54

Actually Alea I don't give a monkeys grin
I just think OP's incredibly presumptuous to think she's speaking on behalf of me/the majority.

High five for the GNHQ!

loopylou Wed 11-Nov-15 11:39:15

hmm
Ok, here goes:
Don't use mobile
Don't use laptop, I use mini iPad
How does GN pander to mobile users? You have no idea who uses what so on what basis is this statement made?
_you're fed up with HA promises - I have absolutely no recollection of any user that has begged on her hands and knees for profiles somewhat melodramatic isn't it?
You don't give a toss for 'free' gifts ...... so? I personally like the opportunity to win something!

What the hell has the value of Facebook/Twitter got to do with your post and GN?

It appears the majority of posters on here are more or less satisfied, me included!

smile

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 11-Nov-15 11:36:10

I use the mobile site to put pictures on. Seems easier from there.

Alea Wed 11-Nov-15 11:35:08

Does anybody, other than disgruntled*jolly g* truly, actually care?

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 11-Nov-15 11:35:01

Cari. Not Car. [hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 11-Nov-15 11:34:34

I reckon we should petition for Car, Luce, and the others, to get a pay rise.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 11-Nov-15 11:33:01

Oh come on! Why would anyone beg on their hands and knees for profiles?!!! confused grin

Ok jollyg. I reckon you've made your point now. They are a small team on GN. The biggies behind Mumsnet most likely don't read this. So, save yer breath to cool yer porridge, och aye! smile

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 11-Nov-15 11:32:43

I use the desktop site even when I'm on my tablet because I'm not keen on the mobile site. Maybe I'm missing something and should give it another try.

Katek Wed 11-Nov-15 11:30:25

Jalouse......my mother and granny used that all the time, Elegran. Edinburgh born and bred both of them

jollyg Wed 11-Nov-15 11:27:57

Interesting range of comments.

How many folk here use the mobile version?

How many laptop/desktop?

It seems HQ panders to mobile users, whilst Im sure the vast majority are on the laptop/desk versions.

Im fed up reading HQ promising to make the site more user friendly, and nothing happens, one member begged on her hands an knees for profiles, [she is quite disabled].

Personally I dont give toss for 'free' gifts. No one sets up a site and expects to get zero reward.

How much is Facebook/Twitter worth?

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 11-Nov-15 11:17:17

jing if I had a profile page you'd find out I was female, but not how old I am. My location might be on it, but it would depend on what I can type in the box - it won't be the town where I live. Disagree about the Edit button. It works every where else. wink

Elegran Wed 11-Nov-15 10:24:00

If you're gonna quote, quote. "Whae's for us?" is not the the same as "Wha's like us?"

Disnae maeter tae youse yins wha hae niver kent whit it means onywey, I jalouse!
