Galen, I think you just go to FORUMS, right at the top, in the maroon strap line. Click there, find the subject you want to add to, i.e. CHAT/HEALTH/MONEY etc. Click in the orange box where it says Start a new discussion. That should do it, and I am on my Ipad. (Apologies if I am teaching Gransnetters to suck eggs) wink

Galen I think it's: if you go on 'active', there's a dropdown menu on the right at the top, where you can start a new discussion, is that what you're looking for?

Sorry. 'Add post' isn't what you're looking for!

mcem Wed 16-Aug-17 21:08:51

Just found a bright orange rectangle which should do it.
Go to the appropriate forum where you want to start your new thread. The button is top left.
I await with interest your new thread!

You made me wonder about that galen. On the mobile site there is a band at the foot of the page including 'add post' but can't figure out the desktop site. Haven't tried it so who knows if it works?

I want to start a new topic and I can't find out how to?

Apart from the all over greyness as far as the list of threads is concerned, I don't have a problem.

They ve been working on it for about two weeks Culag and every move makes it worse We are not kept informed as to what they are doing why they are doing it or when it will end
Every suggestion made by G netters has been ignored

For goodness sake! They are working on it. Give them a chance.

. . . . . and now it's disappeared again! hmm hmm

MiniMouse Wed 16-Aug-17 12:28:36

Same here mcem! Then I tried again and it was back hmm

mcem Wed 16-Aug-17 12:21:41

And now l 've clicked on Last Hour and found No Discussions Found!

I think the problem is that they haven't got the hang of the idea that a redesign is meant to improve a site, not make it worse.

It's all irritating and disappointing in equal measures. I agree with the heading to this thread

devongirl Wed 16-Aug-17 10:16:08

I do wonder whether they have outsourced the updating of the site at some cost, and now feel they have to justify the expense by implementing (mostly unwanted) changes?

Cherrytree59 Wed 16-Aug-17 10:08:50

I wonder if HQ would inform us (GNers)

1 Why after all this time they have come to the conclusion that the site requires an update.

2 what they are hoping to achieve by making the changes.

Do they (HQ) actually have a plan or indeed a vision of how the end product
should look?

At the moment it appears that the
elves techies have been let loose to do a bit of tweaking here and there.
With the strict instruction
NO Like or Save Buttons!!!

You're one of many jollyg, but looking at the posts from LaraGransnet last night, it looks as if they're determined to go ahead.

Looking at the site stuff thread, I think the subject title applies.

Could you advertise for someone who has a tec savvy grandchild .
