We are going to be improving the way you see ads on the site so there will be a few changes while we test what works best. The changes won't be visible to everyone at this stage so don't worry if you don't see any difference. For those of you who do notice the new version, it would be really helpful to us if you could let us know if the changes make it difficult for you to use Gransnet at all? If there are any issues (fingers crossed there won't be!) if you could take and send us a screenshot, that would be great. Hopefully it all run very smoothly but we did want to give you a heads up. smile

I have a small one to the right hand side FF if I scroll over and look for it and another small one at the top which I also don’t see unless I scroll up to the top So I have a couple but I don’t see them which I find very strange as I ve done nothing to stop them by the way they are static and both for the same company
So like you I m very puzzled

I know this is possible on MN, highlighting a thread one has just viewed. So much easier than searching through all thread titles to find where I left off.

Is this a possibility for GN?

Moving adverts with no delete button constantly appearing on right hand side of my laptop page; extremely distracting and annoying, to the extent I will stop following gransnet if they continue.

eazybee I was at that stage also but have rectified it by using Adblocker and it has worked a treat.

I found it very annoying if eg I looked at duvet covers online. Within minutes I would be getting adverts for covers here with all of the other rubbish so I am delighted to be rid of it all. It was either the ads or me.

GNHQ will lose out.

Why do Head Quarters periodically come on asking for our opinions when we see no changes except for ones we specifically haven’t asked for

So far the adverts I see here are unobtrusive but should they appear centre screen and/or prevent me from reading and participating freely, I'll simply leave.

I never respond to adverts on principle smile

GN is very interesting with some lovely people but it's not vital to my existence and there are NZ based fora I could join where I'd not be bothered by ads.

Please rest assured that we do listen to what you want - as Lara mentioned search is up and running again. Major tech changes are complex but we are absolutely aware of requests for edit and like buttons etc

Re the ads...do please continue to report any further issues. Many thanks

The main issue is that we find them irritating and simply don't want them scattered throughout the threads.
"Being aware of" is not synonymous with "dealing with it".

If you want to improve Gransnet can I please put a request in for ACTUAL photos of the Gransnet recipies please?

I’m SO fed up when I like the look of a dish that only bears a passing resemblance to the “stock photo” images. Sometimes the image even shows things not in the recipe- eg, a delicious-looking mushroomy stew with no mushroom ingredients!

Thank you.
