Definitely Marelli smile
The list looks good to me - I use my mobile a lot to go on GN so will look forward to the new version.
Can you do anything about the mobile editing stuff all by itself and writing really stupid things???

Looks good to me! I use my phone to access GN during the night when I'm not sleeping (and also before I sleep, and when I wake up....do I have a problem, do you think?) grin

Seems fine - I wouldn't use it on my mobile - just the lap top.

Brendawymms - no app just yet, but at some point there will be!

I see that the recently-requested Philosophy category may go. I have never used it myself, but shall be interested to see if there are any comments. TBH, it is easy to choose 'other subjects' if in doubt. Hope all goes smoothly for you at GNHQ.flowers cupcake

Fliiping heck I spend quite enough time as it is on GN and now you are making it possible for me to spend even more. wink

It would be a good idea particularly for my phone.

Looks fine. I only ever use my tablet for GN. Have found in the past that I don't always like updates (eg bbc radio app) but fingers crossed that this goes well.

Brendawymms Thu 04-Jun-15 08:08:33

Will there be an App? Perhaps there already is and I haven't found it. I have the logo on my home screen rather than an App.

Looks good. I already find GN works fine on my tablet, so new, improved should be even better smile

This looks good. I use my tablet far more than the computer. Thanks.

Oh great look forward to that. List looks fine to me.

harrigran Wed 03-Jun-15 19:34:09

Bah, I only have an old steam powered phone and can't use it for GN.

tanith Wed 03-Jun-15 19:28:59

That looks fine by me too..

newist Wed 03-Jun-15 18:46:27

Thats good, because I use my android more than my computer now

It's certainly a much tidier list! Glad to see that 'Youth' has gone, as I never did see the point of it.

Yay! That sound great, I'll look forward to using the mobile site. smile

As so many people now access the site on a phone or tablet, and to keep up with the modern world grin we're making Gransnet all lovely and mobile friendly. It will mean a few tweaks, as you can imagine, but we hope to bring you a test version very soon so that you can tell us what you like, what you like a bit less, and what you love (of course) - and this will all help us make the end version as fantastic as possible.

Now as part of this we're looking to streamline our forum topics a little - mainly to avoid people having to scroll for several days to find what they want grin

We are NOT getting rid of anything (and we are not getting rid of any threads!) but we are looking at merging a few topics and amalgamating a few that get less traffic into other areas. All to make it easier for use of course - but if you have strong feelings about anything now's the time to let us know.

Here's the new list as it stands.
