Is Gransnet straight?

Sometimes the posts seem to slant slightly upwards.

Although when you line the little pointy arrow up between the pink bit and either end of a last sentence of a post, there seems to be the same amount of space.

Odd.

Have you NOT got the bar that starts with the blue box with Forums written in white, followed by the green rest-of-the-bar with stuff like Being a gran, Blogs, Life and Style, and ending with My Gransnet?

When you hover your mouse over Member Offers in that bar, a blue bar with discount partners and competitions appears.

A glass of white wine seems to sort it for me.grin

I think I am outside the box. hmm

I have just got the top half of discount, partners etc. Nothing happens when I hover. My browser is IE8.

I have just tried it on Internet Explorer and it's totally different on there. There you get the words Member Offers with Discount Partners and Competitions underneath and they are partially obscured by the picture of Baroness Joan Bakewell.

It is permanently under the word Forums.

You can still get to the competitions (and the picture of the fantastic looking biscuits) and, I think, to member offers. I can't remember that bit.

I seem to be able to access these on Chrome.

Everything works on Safari.

All straight and clear on Google Chrome - but no Joan Bakewell or biscuits immediately obvious.

em hover your mouse over Member Offers on the green panel at the top. Member Discounts and Competitions should appear in a blue bar. Click on competitions for the biscuits. I don't know where Joan Bakewell gets to. smile

I wonder if its just Internet Explorer that's not right.

wotsamashedupjingl Sat 03-Mar-12 10:50:53

Oh! If we just knew a teeny bit more, we could sort it out for them!

Chrome seems to works best for me

gracesmum Sat 03-Mar-12 12:51:50

I just clicked "member offers" and got told "this page does not exist on Gransnet - why is it there then?

wotsamashedupjingl Sat 03-Mar-12 12:54:19

I just clicked on it and the biscuits came up. What thingie do you use gracesmum?

Annobel Sat 03-Mar-12 13:02:52

It's there on mine - with Google Chrome.

'Member offers' should take you through to the Competitions page, gracesmum (as whatisa suggests). It should also open up what we call the subsidiary nav bar (the blue one) and offer you a choice of going to Discount partners or Competitions.

Joan Bakewell should be in the main box on the home page. It sounds as though on Internet Explorer she's gone walkabout.

Bit like one of those pictures in Harry Potter.

Tech will look at this, I am sure, to see if they can see what's going on.

Hurrah! My Gransnet screen is finally back to normal smile smile Are everyone else's ? Thank you GNHQ thanks

wotsamashedupjingl Tue 06-Mar-12 15:53:35

Everything seems to be back in it's proper place, including Joan, on Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. smile

Hello all - yes, we're hoping this is now fixed. Sorry about the temporary skewiffness.
