For anybody in the Blackpool/Fylde coast area our local forums are just starting to get a few posts so please join in, Would love to arrange a local meet up . Also please encourage anyone with a local businesses or services to take advantage of the free listings on the local sites so we can build a really useful local resource. If you belong to any local groups that might be interested I am sure some of the local editors would be willing to come and speak to you.smile

Those of us who took on editorship of an area in 'Phase 1' as it were, are posting on our forums and on FB and Twitter pretty regularly (and Thank You for the mention janthea grin)
Other areas are just getting off the ground, and there are plenty of areas in need of an editor. So - Gransnetters - it's down to you. if you want an active GN Local in your area, it needs an editor to make it happen! smile

I'm following Brighton & Hove and Kingston on Facebook and Twitter and they seem to be posting quite a bit. grin

There are a few navigation issues between Gransnet/ local forums/ inboxes - am sure we will set HQ straight and scare those gremlins away...they had better stay away from my Northallerton meet-up wink

Thanks for trying Elegran, have emailed GNHQ.

Elegran Thu 11-Apr-13 23:25:21

Yes, Galen the button to the local sites is where you say. but when you follow that and eventually get to the West Hampshire & New Forest (which they call West Hants & New Forest, which doesn't help) the forums are not completely set up. There is no editor there, so no-one at HQ has noticed.

Galen Thu 11-Apr-13 23:02:15

It's between forums and lifestyle on mine!

Elegran Thu 11-Apr-13 22:31:08

I couldn't get through to it either notso Email GNHQ.

notso I am not sure whats wrong, send message to HQ might be gremlins.

Notso Thu 11-Apr-13 15:28:47

There isn't anything posted glass and when I try try to get the ball rolling with a post it takes me back to the main GN site.

Off to the National Meetup thread now....have been Googling 'centre of the UK' smile

glassortwo Thanks for info, I've finally managed to find my local branch - and (traaa-laaa) postedgrin

glassortwo Thu 11-Apr-13 15:17:48

notso there may not be any posted, try posting one. Have you seen the National Meetup thread?

Notso Thu 11-Apr-13 15:15:47

I must be doing something wrong confused

I go to my local page (West Hampshire & New Forest) & click on Local Forums. There are no active discussions or topics listed. Click on the blued Discussions and it takes me back to the main GN list of discussion categories.

Do I need to raise my voice? grin

Movedalot Thu 11-Apr-13 15:12:05

Oh Glass I'm going for an eye test on Monday, clearly overdue!

glassortwo Thu 11-Apr-13 15:07:26

move Just under the GN logo on the top left of this page,there is a band of different tabs , starts withForums, Local, blogs etc etc, click on the local and it takes you straight to the Locals, you have to pick your own area or you can keep swopping beween them all.

glassortwo Thu 11-Apr-13 15:04:33

maniac on here or on the local?

Movedalot Thu 11-Apr-13 15:03:37

Maniac if you click on the GN banner you will find another one about the local site. I don't know why it isn't accessible from this page. That would make a lot more sense to me.

glassortwo Thu 11-Apr-13 15:03:22

goose there are a few sites which dont have much activity yet as they are waiting for editors, but someone may reply. smile

Maniac Thu 11-Apr-13 15:01:28

There is no banner and no 'Local' tab on my screen.I've replied to MikeB and Galen but no response online .I'm totally confused.

Goose Thu 11-Apr-13 14:44:07

I must say, I'm finding this local forum thingy a bit confusing. I ended up googling Gransnet Oxford and posted a message on the site given there. I seem to be the only poster and now am anxious as to whether I've gone about it the right waysad

moomin Thu 11-Apr-13 14:34:05

glassortwo Thu 11-Apr-13 14:30:53

moomin Thu 11-Apr-13 14:28:55
