NanaandGrampy Thu 07-Jul-16 18:17:13

Oh will there be nuts ( other than us of course! )

Stansgran Thu 07-Jul-16 17:32:56

May I join you in the shelter DBroon? I'll bring preserved lemons for the G&T and tins of Pringles

DaphneBroon Thu 07-Jul-16 16:44:27

Fosters, Guinness, Ready mixed G&T, Pimms .....
Be prepared!

NanaandGrampy Thu 07-Jul-16 16:40:29

I admire your foresight Daphne currently we have 2 tins of peas and an out of date jar of marmalade set aside....

DaphneBroon Thu 07-Jul-16 16:35:13

In the cupboard under the stairs as I write, all my stockpiled tins at the ready.

NanaandGrampy Thu 07-Jul-16 16:31:05

Duly noted Galen - I am prepping for it to all blow up even as we speak !!

Galen Thu 07-Jul-16 13:34:46

That was to N&G

Galen Thu 07-Jul-16 13:34:08

It was a definite possibility given some of the GN members (sweet sickly smile)

DaphneBroon Thu 07-Jul-16 13:32:23

Even worse, Trump will be able to delete posts
Be afraid, be very afraid grin

NanaandGrampy Thu 07-Jul-16 13:02:04

I always suspected as much smile

DaphneBroon Thu 07-Jul-16 12:59:54

Is that te same Big Red Button Trump expects to have at his finger tips? ?????

Nelliemoser Thu 07-Jul-16 12:49:28

Perhaps someone pressed the wrong button, or stole the proper button.
We need a bring back our button campaign.

I was wondering exactly the same thing. Why don't GNHQ seem to like doing this anymore?

It's usually an automated message that appears when we click The Big Red Button - rather than us actually typing it.

KatGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 07-Jul-16 12:30:03

Oh I see. That must be a technical glitch - we'll get the tech team on it. Thanks for flagging.

DaphneBroon Thu 07-Jul-16 12:13:47

Zorro21 around 9.30/40 ish this morning is one.

Ana Thu 07-Jul-16 11:34:12

There are a few on the Support for Family Members etc. thread.

KatGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 07-Jul-16 11:31:34

Not sure what you mean by 'empty post'? Can you give us an example? (a link to the thread and poster)

Elegran Thu 07-Jul-16 11:06:37

Perhaps one should say "Post withdrawn" and the other "Post deleted" to differentiate?

DaphneBroon Thu 07-Jul-16 10:49:48

But the "empty post" doesn't specify.
TBH I noticed it for the first time today and (surprisingly!) have not checked every thread to see if that is the case overall. Easily confused

LauraGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 07-Jul-16 10:44:25

Hi DaphneBroon! Yes, you're exactly right. We reserve the 'Withdraw' button for users who personally request for their post to be removed. The 'Delete' button is for posts that break our guidelines.

DaphneBroon Thu 07-Jul-16 10:37:14

Am I right in thinking there is a new format for withdrawn posts, namely, merely an "empty " post?
It seems that there is a difference between a post which is withdrawn at a member's request, (given that there is no "delete" or "edit" facility and that member may have excellent reasons), and the previous message that a post has been deleted for breaching GN guidelines.
Would GNHQ. be prepared to comment please?
