Can't seem to work my way round site

Kircubbin2000
I have to disagree. Compared to some I belong to I think this is one of the easiest sites to navigate.

It's not a very user friendly site I think.Im sure an I T person could tweak it in some way. Facebook is as bad, a group I'm in is always recommending local tradesmen but when you need one the posts have gone.

Bluebelle no I don't have it at the top of the page. Only when I go to desktop. My red strip is at the bottom of the page.
I don't need help thank you. I can't type that without it sounding sarcastic, it certainly isn't meant to be. Please don't take offence.
I was commenting on how different devices show a different layout.

Imm6 first thing to do is check what your appliance is laptop, iPad, iPhone ot android and make sure you are on the relevant site desktop or mobile

Thank you everyone. Later on when I'm quiet, I'll have a good look at everything you've advised.

Sounds quite different Nina I quess you need someone on an android phone to help you
Do you have a list at the top mine is a red strip which starts off .....Foruns, then Grandparents, then Local, Books, Competitions etc etc
If so click on forums you should then get all the different sub titles of the different forums come up if you then choose your forum we ll say ‘chat’ click on it and that when you should see the yellow box to start a new discussion
If that doesn’t happen I can’t help

Bluebelle I always use the mobile site but when I click "Chat" for instance I don't see a yellow box I have a banner across the bottom of the page in red one of the options is "add new thread" with a +sign (or similar)
Also the very bottom of the page it just says mobile site or desk top site.
I use an Android phone, it would seem all devices differ. Making it hard to explain to a newbie

Are you on mobile or desktop site right at the very very bottom of the page in small letters in the centre it will tell you First make sure you are on the site corresponding to what you are using Phone iPad tablet etc ‘mobile’
laptop computer ‘desktop’
Mobile site
To start a new discussion
Go into forums choose which one you want to write into let’s say ‘Chat’ click on that and under Chat you will see a yellow box with ‘Start new discussion’ click that and off you go
To type a message
Type in your message in message box provided then click brown box ‘post message’
I’ve never had to press twice
I don’t quite understand the ‘following’ question

Under the heading 'Gransnet forums' you will see 'Active' and then 'I'm on'. If you click on I'm on it brings up the posts you've recently commented on.

Just wanted to let you know that I can see you?

As for the rest, when I reply to a message, i usually have to click twice. Once does nothing , i think it is GN way of making you think twice!
You can obviously post no problem, but what is the problem you are having with following a post?
