What are these annoying boxes?

Oh good, so it's not just my computer then.

I just assumed that I had done something wrong!

I saw them on mumsnet yesterday when I was nosing about for birthday cake making tips.

Oh thank goodness - they're back where they belong!

Thanks Lara and GNHQ techies.

I didn't even know there was a newspaper - daily or otherwise .

Oh good, everything's back to normal! Thank you GNHQ, you can all put your feet up now and have a

I too dislike the daily newsletter and miss the quotes from the forums. I've not unsubscribed yet but I think I may. How do HQ know the new daily one is "popular with most"? Perhaps many are just deleting it without reading it or commenting to HQ (like me!).

Yes, do people actually contact GNHQ to tell them they like the new daily newsletter? Why is it popular?

I delete it without reading it and I always used to read the old one. The new version seems much more impersonal than the old ones, just a list of some of the topics, with a snappy title that has no connection with any content. I think I'll unsubscribe too, then I won't have the disappointment of thinking at first that it is a real email.

I quite like it. Don't read every one obviously but always have a quick browse through. There's usually at least one thing that I want to read about.

I too have unsubscribed from the daily newsletter but quite liked the weekly one.
As for the annoying little boxes on the left hand side - I can't scroll down a page until they have got themselves all sorted out which is very irritating to say the least.

I think the weekly one took up someone's time to write, but this short daily one is just a matter of copying a few thread heading links and adding the "commercial breaks". Quicker and easier.

I've never had a news letter in all the years I've been here and no, I'm not complaining

Today's newsletter has the title "Goldilocks should be charged with breaking and entering and electronically tagged", but it doesn't contain anything to explain the title.

Mine just says 'the literary edition' - no mention of Goldilocks anywhere...

I unsubscribed. I don't get the newsletter any more. I never read much of it, and did not like the new one.

Not the actual newsletter, the title of the email containing it.

I suspect these email titles are just hooks to catch attention so that we open them - an adman's trick.

The title of my email was 'The literary edition: Gransnet Daily'

And why is it that when I click on "Unanswered" at the top of the list of threads, I get "You are not watching any threads at the moment"? I wasn't asking to look at threads I am watching! I wanted to look at unanswered threads.

What did the "Subject" line of the email say? (Sorry, I should have said subject above , not title)

That was the 'subject'!

Gransnet team - The literary edition : Gransnet Daily

Yesterday's was

Gransnet team - Strictly, spiralisers and going sugar-free

What about the 5th? My subject was "anything for the weekend?" !!
I am starting to think I have a problem . . .
