I realised yesterday, that Gransnet are getting new members, at the very rough figure of 150 per month. Through the Bookclub and Competitions topics.

I presume that once people register, not that many deregister.

Hardly any of those join the talking part of the site, but I guess that that doesnt matter.

I don't mean just those who post on the forums, but those who regularly use the website for whatever purpose.

The trouble with de-registering is, you can no longer choose which way up you view the threads. You have to keep flipping 'em.

Is this a thread for new members? Confused about "which way up" I am meant to view threads -mind boggles.

We haven't heard anything from PapaOscar for about 6 months. I presume the worst, hope I am wrong.

We can change it to a thread for new members. No problem at all.

Welcome! Nice to meet you!
I will leave jingl to explain about the which way up bit.

Alea Sat 04-Jul-15 19:13:29

smile Thank you. Am I right way up?

soontobe Sat 04-Jul-15 19:16:11

I think so!

Alea grin

Sorry to confuse. When you click on 'customise' it gives you the choice of viewing threads with latest post showing first, or the original post showing first. They call it 'reading direction'.

Click on 'customise' in the green bar, and you will see what I mean.

Duck egg blue is how I see it...

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 04-Jul-15 20:12:46

It's green!!! shock

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 04-Jul-15 20:13:31

You want to me to do a 'Dear GNHQ' and ask 'em?

Ana Sat 04-Jul-15 20:17:58

Where it says Gransnet forums and search forums on the right is green.

The customise bar is definitely duck egg blue! grin Or aquamarine...

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 04-Jul-15 20:29:25

It's just a paler shade of green!

Alea Sat 04-Jul-15 20:30:07

Thank you, I think that is clear confused

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 04-Jul-15 20:38:00

Anya Sat 04-Jul-15 20:38:43

You'll fit right in here Alea grin

Ana Sat 04-Jul-15 20:44:08

Ana Sat 04-Jul-15 20:49:00

Oops! I've just agreed with someone...hmm

Galen Sat 04-Jul-15 21:27:27

Worrying! Are you ok?

Ana Sat 04-Jul-15 21:59:33

Apparently I spend all day trying to find someone to agree with!

Thought I'd try to buck the trend, but it can't be done I'm afraid...grin

Ana Sat 04-Jul-15 22:07:05

I'll try harder Galen, honest...

Anya Sat 04-Jul-15 22:09:49

I have to disagree with that Ana wink

NanK I've been wondering about PapaO too. I suppose he may have changed his GN name?
