Hello from GNHQ

Far North agreed, quite bad mannered really ignoring any and all requests.

Still waiting for LilyGranset to come back and let us know if we can have a Feminism forum. She promised to chase it up "on Monday"....... but which monday is that?

Nothing ever changes, new keen moderator comes in, asks what we would like changed/updated etc, then nothing ever is implemented.

Also they treat us as though we are Ena Sharples and most of us are Helen Mirrin

I’m new to Gransnet and have tried to create a Public Profile using my iPhone to tell other members a bit more about myself but when I try to save it nothing happens. I haven’t seen that anyone else has a Public Profile. Is this function not working or am I doing something wrong? Grateful for any help.

Brilliant!

Public profiles were turned off some while ago Ullabirgitta because of privacy laws/issues or something like that.
No idea why that part of the site hasn't been removed or altered to explain the situation? Well I do have an idea. As you can see nothing technical gets done quickly, if ever, on Gransnet.

Yes *pittcity is correct when I joined you could put up a photo answer a few questions and add a profile if you wished Then it was removed some years back
We all knew this original post was just an exercise going absolutely no where but played along with ‘Hope in our hearts’ (I m singing that bit)

Hi all
Do you think perhaps we could try some sort of ‘Direct Action’ regarding Iam64, especially?
We could all email the management on one day, or something?
Please don’t hesitate to let me know if I’m being daft!

Thanks Pittcity and BlueBelle for the information. It seems a bit odd as other sites and forums don’t have issues with posting profiles and photos but if that’s how things are here then we just have to accept it.

Ullabrigitta I just wanted to say hello and welcome to GN.
I’m sure that you will enjoy it here.
The posters definitely make the site! We just tend to get in with it, with the occasional good hearted grumble!

Sorry Ullabirgitta, I misspelled your name.

That's a good idea Fanny we need to select a date and hope they'll be over run with emails. Maybe you could start a thread for this.

Ok! Great, thank you.
Will do!

Thanks for the welcome. I’m sure I’ll enjoy things here. Pity about the profile issue as I thought it would be a good chance to introduce myself and explain how I deal living my with daily life with disabilities.

Typo. How I deal with living my daily life with disabilities.

Yes, an ”edit” option would be great.

Ullabirgitta I think that it would be fabulous if you started a thread on this.

Thanks Fanny. Yes I’ll think it over. I’m sure I’m not the only member with a disability. It would be interesting to learn how other people manage and maybe pass on some tips if someone else is newly disabled

Hello again Ullabirgitta There are many people on here with a wide range of disabilities, myself included.
I’m sure that it would be an excellent thread, and one which I haven’t seen before.
You will get plenty of replies.
And people on here love a new poster!

Hello Ullabirgitta, I would love to read how you cope with disability and also how/whether we can help. For instance, should I describe a photo for you when I post it on a thread? My daughter (aged 42) is blind, by the way.

By gum! Ena Sharples would soon have GNHQ
sorted out.
She'd not stand for any nonsense!

Right GNHQ, stop mucking around in there and get on wi' it.
Mine's a milk stout while you're at it.

Can I be Minnie Caldwell to your Ena please, Callistemon?

I actually can’t put into words how much I love that photo ♥️

Of course! ?

Who's going to be Martha?

Thank you all for your positive reactions. I’ll have to give this some serious thought so it may be a few days before I start the thread. Also DH and I are going away for a few days tomorrow so please bear with me. Yes Alizarin describing photos is one of the things DH does for me. Does your daughter have any sight remaining? I’m totally blind and deaf due to Usher Syndrome and also a double leg amputee due to vascular disease from being a heavy smoker since my early teens. Quit smoking 30 years ago after my amputations. I’m sure many members will be able to relate in some way.
