GN is very slow this evening, so I am off to organise something a bit speedier (a snail race).
Anyone else having problems?

Why have I suddenly got two blue dots connected by a line?
They weren't there before.
What do they mean?
If I cross them will the iPad explode or something?confused

Where are the dots appearing? Are you able to send us a screenshot to [email protected]?

They've gone now!
I think they must have been a transient phenomenon, like measles or sunspots!

Hope it's not catching... <steps away from Galen's iPad> grin

Morning all

I am still having problems.

I am using two tablets and both of them are sending me back to home page, I have to keep starting all over to go back to a thread or even get back onto GN full stop. This is now beyond frustrating as it happens sometimes within seconds. confused. One of the tablets keeps coming up with Web page not working too.

If I am on, say Cotton Traders site, no problem. If I am using Google, no problem. It is only when I use GN site.

As I have borrowed a friends tablet this would surely prove my tablet is not at fault. Any ideas clever GN's or HQ. Other than give up. grin

POGS could you give us some more information? What exactly did you tap on or do that took you back to the home page? Or does it just happen when you are doing nothing at all? Thanks

I have been having problems with GN too I use a tablet and laptop and I have several pages open at the same time but as soon as I launch GN on a page within a minute my tablet refuses to update and only when I turn it off and on again will it unfreeze as long as I don't go to GN everything works fine . OH says it sounds like some sort of bug to do with GN its why I haven't even posted I have been keeping off the site.

lt needs investigating for sure.

I am posting this from my laptop and things seem to be working ok but I also tried on my tablet and the usual problem as soon as I go to GN the tablet seems to freeze and nothing will update and clicking on anything just doesn't work..

Could it be your router?

Thanks for your post. I have only just returned to GN as I was so frustrated with it earlier on.

I log on by pressing the GN symbol my daughter loaded onto my opening screen. I also tried to log on via Google and blow me the same thing was happening.

I borrowed a friends tablet as I thought it might prove my tablet was the problem but it happened on both!

I could be reading a thread and all of a sudden I am cut off and back on my opening screen. I press the GN symbol and I can return to GN, loaded to where I was, or inevitably to GN where I have to go through the motion to get back to where I was because all the information has vanished.

On one computer when I pressed the GN symbol I kept GN in a totally different format for a while. Everything was on the left handside of the screen and words only words only in a column form, no pictures etc. Very weird. Very often it displays a problem with the Web connection but it doesn't send me back to the opening page, that just happens out of the blue.

I am so sorry I am scribing in a childish manner but I am not computer literate , I am sure some GN's are sitting back laughing blush but it's the best I can do.

POGS I'm sure that no Grans are laughing at you, please don't think that smile

POGS Fri 11-Jul-14 14:45:28

Thanks Lona.

I wouldn't mind I know I am rubbish. grin.

ShamTech

I am now 30 minutes in and it hasn't happened!!!!

I am going onto the other tablet.

Have you been doing something, besides eating cakes ????

ShamTech (GNHQ) Fri 11-Jul-14 14:59:49

POGS I've only eaten cake today. No changes on Gransnet. Keep us posted. Thanks

Tegan Fri 11-Jul-14 15:01:18

POGS; I don't even know how to use a tablet blush. And what's Shamtech??

POGS Fri 11-Jul-14 15:16:43

Tegan

ShamTech is working at GNHQ. See the post at 11.11 for example. smile

It has happened again but only for a very short time. Are you being hacked. grin

POGS Fri 11-Jul-14 16:35:36

ShamTech

As requested by you.

It has just been playing up again on both tablets. Within last 5 minutes for your information.

POGS Fri 11-Jul-14 16:37:25

Sham

Keeps coming up Web site down on the other tablet but now I am OK again. confused

POGS Fri 11-Jul-14 16:43:55

No I'm not.

One came up with Web. Page not Available. The other suddenly went out of watching a thread and Gransnet terms of use came on the screen.

I will try for a bit longer but might give in again.

Any ideas, is it just me with so many problems. I have asked my neighbour who uses his computer a lot and he has had no issues and he uses BT same as me.

rosequartz Fri 11-Jul-14 17:03:14

Have just come on again and it is slow, not behaving in a positive way when I press a link to get on a thread

tanith Sat 12-Jul-14 16:20:30

I still can't access on my tablet although on my PC it seems okish but slow

ShamTech (GNHQ) Mon 14-Jul-14 11:06:52

We honestly can't figure out why you are having this problem as the site is working and it's really quite fast. If you can't access the site on your tablet, could you please send us a screenshot of the error you see on your tablet? Maybe then we can spot a clue as to the cause. Thanks
