Tool bar

I use the red bar at the bottom of the page on the mobile site to navigate.
I can open threads and post fine but the tool bar is not working. This has only happened in the last half hour.

Anyone else having a problem ?

Any progress on this, please? It is very tedious.

It's off topic but still about a Tool Bar. We used to have a 2nd hand shop nearby, it specialised in 'lightly used' tools of all kinds: chisels, hedge-trimmers, hammers etc.

Not so long since, a friend and I went there as I needed a spade but saw there was no longer the display of machinery in the window.
Instead, there were swagged pink curtains and pretty lights.

I said, 'But it's still called 'The Tool Bar'.
My friend, now shaking with laughter said, 'Yes, because it's now a brothel.'

Do they still "specialise"? Anyway, I thought NZ called a spade a shovel!? grin

Hi kittylester,

The problem hasn't been fixed yet, but the tech team are still looking into it, so we'll hopefully have it sorted soon. smile

Thank you, natasha

Rufus As spades and shovels are quite different, even Kiwis never get them mixed up. grin

even Kiwis never get them mixed up. grin
I remember a recent debate between you and Jalima working out who says what, but I think Aussies call a spade a "bloody shovel"! grin

BradfordLass72 Mon 06-May-19 21:57:38

Yes, well, you know what many Kiwi will say to that Rufus

'No surprise there mate, Aussies always get it wrong!' grin

For those of you having a problem with this, could you please try opening the drop down menu on the right-hand side of the Forums tab (its a small down arrow). When this menu drops down, at the bottom you'll see an option to hide/show shortcuts. If you want the toolbar to show then you'll need to have this set to 'show shortcut buttons'.

We've attached a screenshot to show you what you should see. You may or may not have selected this accidentally yourself or it may be a tech gremlin. Either way, this should solve it. Let us know how you get on. grin

It's worked, thanks!

grannysyb Thu 09-May-19 14:31:41

Well it worked for about 10 minutes! Not working now!

kittylester Thu 09-May-19 14:36:25

I have always had a tool bar - it just doesnt work.

I dont think we mentioned it being missing just broken.

It is a real nuisance!

kittylester Tue 14-May-19 07:06:24

Any news yet?

SarahGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 14-May-19 10:53:41

Hi kittylester, we posted about this above last week with the screenshot. The issue that was raised to us was that the toolbar was missing and the directions above should solve this. However, if the issue is that it's simply unresponsive, then we'll have to revert back to tech.

Do remember you can report these things to us directly by emailing [email protected]

We'll come back to you once tech have taken another look.

Thanks for your patience grin

Hi all,

If you are still having an issue with the toolbar, please could we ask that you take a screenshot and send it to us. For privacy purposes, this is best done by emailing it to [email protected]

It's hard for us to reproduce the toolbar problem our end so we rely on those screenshots to see exactly what you are experiencing.

Thanks for you assistance flowers

kittylester Tue 14-May-19 11:13:31

My toolbar exists as it always has but is unresponsive. Not a lot of point sending a s reen shot but I will if it helps!

kittylester Tue 14-May-19 11:18:04

Have sent a screen shot.

ninathenana Tue 14-May-19 11:33:55

Sarah I did state in my OP that the tool bat is there but unresponsive. I have been using the drop down menu to navigate.
I will send a screen shot.

kittylester Tue 14-May-19 12:56:13

I have also been using the drop down menu but it is much more long winded.

SarahGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 14-May-19 16:07:10

Hi ninathenana we've had two separate issues with the toolbar - that it is disappearing and that it is unresponsive so we're trying to help with both issues.

Tech are looking into this. Thanks for your patience.

BlueBelle Tue 14-May-19 16:28:59

Fine for me no problem on my iPad

kittylester Tue 14-May-19 16:39:01

I'm on my phone. There is no problem on the lap top.

SarahGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 15-May-19 16:57:18

Thanks BlueBelle and kittylester

Anyone else that's having this problem - is it specific to one device? i.e. does it only happen on your phone?

grannysyb Thu 23-May-19 13:27:51

Still a problem on my phone.

kittylester Thu 23-May-19 14:36:11

And mine!
