I need to contact someone with some important news but don't seem to be able to send PMs. Is anyone else having a problem?

I'm loving the conspiracy theories! grin.

I know from experience that these things can be a b**ger to sort. wink.

Beginning to think that GNHQ do not want us to communicate via PM’s

I just discovered this morning, that I had a PM in my inbox, at the top of the page. I usually get them in my email inbox. IYSWIM.

Has anyone found that there has been any progress? Any news about this?
Apparently I can send them (accordingly to the recipient - I have no evidence of this in my 'sent' box)
but I cannot receive them.
Over the past four days the problems have varied, different on-screen notifications etc.

I had a PM this morning, a test but my test reply wouldn’t send. Gremlins ?

Still not working! I do hope this gets fixed ASAP.

Snap Bluebelle. Hopefully tomorrow GNHQ will get it sorted.

BlueBelle Tue 16-Feb-21 22:23:04

Someone has sent me 15 without realising but I ve received nothing

Charleygirl5 Tue 16-Feb-21 22:21:10

I managed to send one but 20+ arrived! I did not receive a reply although one was sent.

Mollygo Tue 16-Feb-21 21:01:36

Not me and it’s 21.01 now.

Iam64 Tue 16-Feb-21 20:57:15

Nor me

BlueBelle Tue 16-Feb-21 20:55:44

Nor me

Doodle Tue 16-Feb-21 20:51:52

Still not working for me either.

Approximately 16.00 pm and still having problems sending Private Messages.

blondenana Tue 16-Feb-21 14:47:29

Yes i had problems yesterday too,also had the box saying ok, sent about 5 in the end without realising

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback and the screenshots, they're helping us diagnose the problem. We think we have a solution and we will be working on it as soon as possible.

I'll post back here once we've released the solution.

Once again, sorry for the inconvenience flowers

Marydoll Tue 16-Feb-21 09:14:38

I feel we can't really make a fuss, as we are not paying for this site and sometimes, these problems are difficult to solve. I know from my experiences, when our whole school site would go down and staff would be complaining.

I hope the techies pick up on the screenshot I posted of the script and are able to work out what is wrong.

Esspee Tue 16-Feb-21 08:01:45

Still not working and I am furious. I received duplicate messages yesterday from the same person, wrote a detailed reply and it has failed to send ever since. I can’t cut and paste so not only have I lost my message which took a good ten minutes to write but the addressee presumably thinks I haven’t bothered to reply.

BlueBelle Tue 16-Feb-21 07:09:58

Tuesday and the pm s are still not working
Any news ?

Marydoll Mon 15-Feb-21 22:52:48

I'm sure SupertechDan will be on the case and let us know when it's fixed. I think HQ may have got the message by now ?, or perhaps not!

You can send PMs, but can't reply to one.
Auntieflo, I knew you wouldn't mind! wink

Ramblingrose22 Mon 15-Feb-21 22:42:15

Having a problem sending a PM just now.

GagaJo Mon 15-Feb-21 22:13:25

The poor s*d I was sending a PM to got the same one about 20 times. Over enthusiastic trigger finger!

Shandy57 Mon 15-Feb-21 22:13:14

Just sent another one and getting the same box at the top of the screen.

Shandy57 Mon 15-Feb-21 22:10:38

When I was sending one last night a box appeared at the top of the screen

'Gransnet says OK'

I didn't realise it had gone, and did it again, and got the same message. When I checked, it had gone through twice.

Fame at last. ?
