For DanTech I hope you don't mind Auntieflo, your name came into my head!

Sorry It's not very clear.

DanTech this is what happens when you try to reply to a PM.

It won't send and you get the error message above..

Hi all,

I'm Dan one of the developers working on Gransnet. Apologies for the inconvenience the PM issue is causing you all flowers. I'm looking into what exactly could be causing it, so just posting asking if when this was happening to you were seeing any error messages appear on the screen or if there was any weird behaviour other than the button not functioning?

Also, if you could try PM'ing someone again but before sending it to right click on the browser and select inspect. This will open the developer tools, if you go to the console tab on that then try sending the PM and report back any errors that appear in red back here. This is just so I can see exactly whats going wrong so I can pinpoint where to make the fix.

Once again, apologies for the inconvenience and hoping we can get this fixed soon.

Yes, me too.
I want some of those posting on the pages, ‘chest/breast’ page and ‘discuss feminism’ page that a family bereavement has left me shaken and I don’t have the mental gymnastic capacity at present.

GNHQ the problem appears to be continuing. I now get a message saying "Gransnet.com says OK" when I try to send a PM!!

Yes,,I sent a message last night then saw it had sent several times.

Auntieflo Sat 13-Feb-21 17:53:58

I had a problem this morning.
Usually when you press Send, the button fades and says Sent.
This wasn't happening, and I thought there was a problem with our WiFi, so kept pressing Send.
I ended up sending the same message 7/8 times.
Apologies to receiver. I only found out that it had gone by looking in Sent!

Yes I have had the same problem since yesterday. I have been private messaging another lady on here. Her last message to me was positive and when I have tried to reply...its not happening. Like others multitudes of one message I sent is listed. I was beginning to think I have been blocked by the lady I have messaged. Although I would also think she is the type who would tell me 'why' before she done such thing.
Is there anyone on this site we can contact to get this sorted???

I have tried now, it won’t send

Cherrytree59 Sat 13-Feb-21 16:59:00

Yes me! I seem to have sent one poor GNer 18 PMs?

V3ra Sat 13-Feb-21 15:41:35

I've sent two this afternoon which appear to have gone ok according to my "Sent" list...

Just tried to send a PM, it wouldn't send!!

FindingNemo15 Sat 13-Feb-21 13:48:48

I typed out a PM only to find it could not be sent. Total waste of time. Another friend has also been having the same problem.

Smileless2012 Sat 13-Feb-21 13:13:58

Happened to me too. I ended up sending and receiving multiple messagesconfused.

Baggs Sat 13-Feb-21 13:08:58

Thanks, GG. Good to know it wasn't my fault!

GrannyGravy13 Sat 13-Feb-21 12:57:51

It happened to another GN member last night Baggs they received the same message multiple times.

Baggs Sat 13-Feb-21 12:54:54

Seems my message was sending, many times! I guess this thread is defunct now.

Baggs Sat 13-Feb-21 12:50:53

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?
