Changes to GN

A don't like button would be very useful at the moment ?

??

I'm also getting adverts at the bottom quarter of my phone screen blocking my buttons.
Also I'd like:
A like and dislike button would be good.
A private subgroup for personal dilemmas and a search engine which worked.
And please remove this annoying banner.
Thanks GNHQ

I haven’t got any pop up or moving adverts on my iPad
I have one small one at the top and one small square at the side why aren’t I seeing all the problems you guys are ? Not that I want to

I feel for Mick and his Win10 problems. There are that many adverts on the move now that it's interfering with the content of each screen that I open.

This afternoon I lost all my passwords on each individual window that I had open including GN to which I had to put in a new password. My ebay account too, put my password in and it immediately vanished again. It's a Microsoft problem and I can't do anything except renew passwords all the time to get in. It's driving me barmy !

Active etc.comes up for a nano second then disappears so I can't go onto another thread quickly!!

Just realized that if I wait it eventually appears!! Not impressed!

Experience shows that GNHQ decide to make changes and there's nothing we can say or do to change their minds. On the other hand, any requests coming from members are ignored e.g. the much-needed 'like' button. After much consultation on the change of font etc, all requests and complaints were ignored!
Since these ads will inevitably remain, it would be good to know that some of the profits might be spent on improving the the site in line with many of our concerns.

mcem I wouldn’t hold your breath!

You're right, Jessity.
Not happy with this. (Screenshot)

All the bloomin' adverts are running the battery down.
At least mine are at the side and not running down the centre.

How come I don’t get any are you all using iPadsor laptops ?

I haven’t any thankfully, always use iPad

Trouble is on my phone. Less bother with mobile site on kindle fire.

GabriellaG54 I’ve had the leaping about thing too. Gave up in the end.

Search facility is indeed working ? Thanks!

Advert in a square box at the top of the page comes and goes and the whole page jumps. This is using an iPad. iMac was ok earlier.

Tablet: irritating adverts in centre. Very off-putting.?

I have an Addblocker on, so don't know whether that helps. I haven't any adverts, but the number on top of the Addblocker says "9"!

POGS
I fully agree site users should come first not advertisers. Besides Gransnet surely is run by staff not volunteers. It is THEIR responsibility to make sure site is easy for Gransnetters to use before launching any alterations. I am fed up of everywhere I go these days being expected to do the work of people who are employed and paid to what is THEIR work.

In future sort before launching.

And another thing re adverts. A couple of days ago I kept getting ones allegedly by Martin Lewis indorsing a financial scheme. As he has very publicly said he doesn’t endorse things like that, these ads are at best misleading and at worst a scam. I do hope GN isn’t making money out of such things!
And I cannot stand the moving adverts either! ?

Has anyone else had the ad from Cadbury's offering free chocolate? Loads of questions but I've completed them. Says I'm eligible for two boxes. ???

GNHQ seem to ignore many responses eg no reply to the like/not like button idea and also why oh why is there not an edit feature (as there is on FB) for a comment that has been posted?? I try to check for glaring spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors but on my iPhone inevitably some escape the net!
