Are you aware of the problem GNHQ?

Should read MINUTES blush

They should be. I emailed them about it too. They were probably implementing the procedures mentioned in the thread about managing their cookies (which I now can't post my reply on, so I plan to start a new thread,(

Nor could I. Wish I'd taken a screenshot as the page was very odd looking.

The cookie thread is working now. I think work is being done on the site as we speak, and if they are in the middle of something on a page, that page doesn't work.

Can I urge you to take advantage of the chance to manage your gransnet cookies, as offered on a current thread. I have just done it, it was very easy, just took a few minutes and should make what I see onscreen be what I want to see, not what some advertiser or statistician thinks I want.

Similar here about an hour ago.

I had a " sign-up " screen earlier which when I highlighted it I was then allowed on the forum. What was that about ?

Elegran Wed 13-Mar-19 18:15:58

The reply to my email to GN, describing the text of the error mssage I received a short time ago, aid "Thanks for sending that across, but it's nothing to worry about - we were just having a quick tech update. Sorry for any inconvenience that was caused.

That is probably what caused the problems others have had - while they were updating, things got a bit scrambled.

EllanVannin Maybe that sign-up screen was part of that bit of chaos, or maybe part of the "manage your cookies" update.

testing testing...

Elegran Wed 13-Mar-19 18:31:46

Seems to work, Bathsheba

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 13-Mar-19 20:22:25

Yes, as above. It was a quick update. All should be fine now

Bathsheba Wed 13-Mar-19 21:00:42

So, I've managed to post on my thread and one other, but couldn't on this one a few minutes ago. Trying again.

Bathsheba Wed 13-Mar-19 21:01:38

??????????

Elegran Wed 13-Mar-19 21:23:12

Cari I checked all the relevant bits of the cookie screen and saved them earlier today, but when I signed in just now, it asked me to do it again. (I have Firefox)

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 13-Mar-19 21:53:16

Hmmmm. We will have a word with tech first thing
