It would be wonderful if we could have a better search facility? grin

Yes, agreed

One that didn't offer to take you back to the forums but not to what you're searching for!

ditto.
please highlight all OP's posts. like on MN.
thanks.

Definitely a Search facility that works. I've yet to do a successful search.

Highlighting of all an OP's posts would be good.
I use it on Mumsnet to read everything the OP has said to see if perhaps their issue has been sorted out already, or more information has been given.
It's impossible to do that quickly on GN.

Yes - edit function please !

I agree with Doodledog I have made some extremely embarrassing typos which I didn’t have the option to edit, (if anyone remembers a particular doozy) and also a better search option and an option to tag other posters, the bold thing is a faff, and it’s impossible without going through a whole thread to know if anyone individually mentioned you.

It would be great if we could have the ability to edit, even if only for five minutes after posting. I appreciate that an open edit facility can lead to malicious posts being withdrawn with no evidence, but I have lost count of the number of times I have posted and then realised that my sentence was ambiguous, or that there was an autocorrect typo.

I know we can preview our posts before sending, but somehow that's not the same, for me at least.

Hello, love the site!

Would also like to see a more sophisticated search option, plus an edit option when posting.

I agree about the search facility, it would be great if it could be restricted by date range.

Hi all

We think that it'd be good for us to get to know each other a bit more.

We at GNHQ are here to moderate the site, look after our users and ensure that Gransnet is an inclusive and supportive community. We're post-moderated, which means that we rely on reports to let us know what's going on. ​Our aim is to respond to every query we receive, so please don't be afraid to get in touch.

We're also keen to listen to feedback about site functionality, so tell us what you think - we'll always pass feedback on to the relevant team(s) for discussion, with the promise of making Gransnet better and more efficient for all users. If you've got any ideas for improvement then please share them below. Changes at the back end of the site do take time, but we're more than happy to keep you updated during the process.

Please feel free to introduce yourselves by replying below (or send us a hello privately via email/report if you prefer).

P.S Every time you hit the report button, an angel gets its wings (or a troll gets booted off site). <repeatedly clicks report button>
