Today I call a strike on this forum. Whaes for us ,damn few, an they are all deid

I dont mean A and B to be any poster in particular
<wishes that I had used the letters X and Y>

It was discussed on a thread before Ana.
I wont be able to find which thread!

There would be more friction because A would be able to prove that B said whatever, 6 months ago.

I'm not saying you don't care at GNHQ and I have won good prizes but it doesn't seem fair that people only us us for the prizes.

You did ask for opinions on the weekly/daily email but nothing has changed and some of us asked for a last poster notification on the mobile site. I haven't seen an update - is there one?

Having said that, I love gn! [cake]

I don't think we have any right to complain, it's a good, well run site, and lots of us win prizes who are regulars, it's all free, I don't see a problem.

Eh? Never heard that one before...

Why on earth would it cause a lot of friction?

Do we need to edit? [not even sure what that means really]. Isnt it just a case of not pressing the post message button too soon?

jollyg. I think it has been said/suggested before on gransnet, that the search engine isnt brilliant because HQ dont want it to be, as it might cause a lot of friction!

Perhaps those who think they could do better could offer their services???

I hesitate to post this, but here goes.

mumsnet HQ/gransnet could, if they really wanted to, employ more staff including techies who always seem to be in very short supply. They do, ahem, make quite a lot of money, out of presumably the advertising.
They wont take any notice, but thought I would post anyway.

Thank you, GNHQ for updating the Discussions of the Day list!

I hereby withdraw my grumble...

I don't want to cause an argument but I did win a DVD in a competition once , admittedly about 3 years ago, never the less it was free. Also a family ticket for free entry to a National Trust property this year.

I have also had courteous responses and help from HQ when I was wrongly accused of something and a thread turned nasty.

I understand how 'frustrations' develop but it's not as though we 'pay' to use the site so are we 'being bought' . ?

I hope GNHQ manage to sort out your issues jolly.

You don't pay anything to be on Gransnet

Nobody forces you to remain a member

Editing is a nice luxury but checking for oneself is perfectly possible

Your attitude to poor old GNHQ reminds me of the chutzpah of the person who murdered his parents and the pleaded for mercy because he was a orphan.

Bottom line is, , it's free, it's voluntary, what is your problem?

(Answers on one side of a sheet of A4)

I agree loopylou I am not a 'professional' and am a regular poster but I have won one of those tablet thingies and a lovely book.

Likewise.

Thank you Cari, thankless job isn't it? There's no pleasing some folk....

I appreciate just what damned hard work your job must be, you deserve all the , , and , I couldn't do it I'd lose my rag so thank you all very much.

Doesn't bother me if my profile's down, at least I can get on and enjoy GN regardless

I won a book a couple of weeks ago, and I am not new and post lots! I must have won at least four books over the past three years, and once won a whole box of them just before Christmas, which was excellent timing as I was broke. I can't say I enter all the competitions, half the time I forget to even look at them, but I do admit to being pleased when a name I recognise wins.

Recently I had cause to be very thankful that the profiles were down, I shall be far more cautious once they return. It appears that a few people I know do not like to be in photos on here, and do not like to be mentioned, or to have their friends mentioned. They must be a lot nosier than I am.

Or get more staff!
Don't get rid of the though!

Cari

There aint no such thing as a free gift....... no naiivity here now.

Its patronising to be told that. Sod the care bit, keeps the staff paid

Cross post

Methinks I am a tad naiive.

Thanks for elucidation Jingl.

I am an irregular poster.

Some people trawl the net to find competitions to enter. And then probably sell the stuff on ebay. (have you read my post jane?

Loupy Who are the professionals winning all the prizes ?

People who only enter the competitions and never contribute on the threads.

Definitely go back to the weekly email. I unsubscribed from this 'spam' stuff.
