Does anyone else think that there is far too much petty bickering on GN

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Yay!

So how do you do it if your laptop doesn't have numbers on the right jo5?

I don't flippin' know!!!

Ha ha, fat lot of good you are j05. I was looking forward to being able to do that ;)

& # 9825 (no spaces) makes &#9825
but I can't find the code for a filled-in heart.

Weird! Don't know what happened there....

Funny, this is a 15 pages thread, the majority about fonts Is it a case of fingers in the ears and everyone sing la la la? I'm sad that I haven't seen Jodi after this exchange.

Maybe the thing is that various GN members actually meet up and therefore share a different level of friendship. I've been here a couple of months and, trust me, it does feel like a clique: we joined first, we own it sort of thing. The fact that there are, and have been members raising the same concerns - the fact that when you read an old thread, those people have disappeared, should concern members. This is a commercial social media site and, therefore relies on membership and without growth will not be viable. It costs a lot of money for servers. You could kill the goose.

So, maybe if people do raise a question which probably has been raised before and therefore of no interest to the old guard - be quiet and let it run.

There seems to be little tolerance for anyone outside of the norm..and, by norm, I mean left wing and judgemental and, dare I say anachronistic in their views?

I do temper that observation with another - the support given to people is almost moving at times and if I had a problem, to be able to throw it out to a peer group, should I choose, would be valuable. Equally, I wouldn't feel comfortable talking about my life, I'd feel it was contentious an outside the norm.

It's also quite funny, for the first time using a computer, I have felt the need for a dictionary! (Note to Gransnet...spellcheck, not expensive!)

gonna test that now ♥ YaY

......and I'm supposed to remember that Ana? I have enough trouble remembering my name ;)

Well, there's gratitude for you!
You could write it down, nanapug!

nanpug just bookmark this thread and copy and paste the symbols from here.

So sel QED

why bother?

✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ This is infectious. I must try some more of these

Sel I haven't been here since the beginning but can't say I have felt excluded at all. Yes there are some people who seem to know each other better than others but isn't that the same with any group?

I would agree that some threads do tend to lean to the left, I'm centre right myself, but I have never felt they were judgemental of me or my views.

I do hope you will stay and continue to post

3...still not working ....

The spellcheck works perfectly well on my laptop, Sel.

I want to do stars and things as well! Can someone write a manual.

JINGLE!!!...Nelliemoser has a very important job for you!

JO5 Please can you do me a manual. When you have finished the mincepies. Making them that is! Not eating them.
Pretty please!

Barrow thank you ...anno spellcheck - how? If I type in 'add your message here' there's no spellcheck option. Are you C & Ping? I'm a well educated woman, this is ridiculous!! What has GN done to me ??

It may be that it's because I'm using Google Chrome. It's just always been there.

Just checked - the last time the subject of spell checkers came up, the tech answer was that some browsers, like Chrome and Firefox have an inbuilt checker.

Who needs spellcheckers? I think Anno, Gally, Elegran. Bags, Em and some others who shall remain nameless enjoyed the benefit of a Scottish education
