Apologies to thse of you who have been sending me messages! I do not get any form of notification so when I happened to look to see if GNHQ had sent me a message I found several unanswered (obviously) messages including one from GNHQ from a while back asking for my address so I can receive a signed copy of Jeremy Paxman's book!
Do you get a notification in your email or on the inbox icon to indicate someone has sent you a message? Do i need to adjust a setting? help please GNHQ

There's a solution to this one.

If you go into your 'My Gransnet' at the top of the page, you can switch on your email notifications (or switch them off if you don't want an email every time something jumps into your inbox).

Please yell if there's any problems sunshine

Morning smile

Many thanks for your suggestion. We'll have a natter and see what we can sort out. If we could have a little time, what with it being the weekend and the rest of the staff being elsewhere, that would be grand. In the meantime, you could always check your inbox at the top smile brew

I can only get onto the site these days by going via my inbox and then clicking 'last hour'. Think my pooter must be on the blink sad.

You call this drama ? There have been much more dramatic scenes acted out on other threads in the last few days.

Oh FGS! Get in touch with GNHQ - why make such a drama out of it?

Now you'll get dozens of messages. One will be from me.

Have you changed you email address, Penstemmon ? Is your spam filter being over-enthusiastic?

They have emailed me before..because I got notifications, then they apparently stopped in April as I have not looked at my inbox since then...because I had no notifications.

Someone PM me and i will see if it is fixed!

I thought you had to give your email address when you registered, and that is how GNHQ contact you

I would contact HQ in the morning. They like something to keep busy with at the weekend. smile

Crossed posts! I think other people had this problem a little while ago and got it sorted. Maybe yours went AWOL at the same time.

Yes, you need to adjust a setting somewhere, Penstemmon I think it may be in your profile, but contact GNHQ if you can't find it.

Thank you Ana for your words of wisdom, kindly meant I am sure. However it is a change of practice as I had been getting notifications previously. I just assumed I had no messages!

Thanks jingl for your advice..will see if I can sort it!

Yes, I know - but if it's not working...And why not just contact GNHQ?

No! There's something you can click on - to get notified.

I always get sent an email by them so then come onto the site and look at my inbox to read it.Having said that, I still haven't got the copy of Paxos book even though I sent my address.

Well, you should just look at your 'inbox' more often and not rely on emails from GNHQ - simples!
