Advance warning - essential site maintenance from 9am Saturday 29th October

I hardly dare comment about the ads but ... ... so far.

I wrote a post this morning, and when I went to upload it it everything was frozen, and it disappeared completely. Must have been when the site was down. Didn't bother to rewrite it, as I was going out.

I don't usually swear but they are distracting and Adblockers don't seem to work.

Swear, s*d, b**ger and whatever else.

The annoying adverts and videos are still there!!

It was wise of them only to transfer the files, without fiddling about changing things, however much we would have liked a few changes. A straight transfer has the ability to produce enough problems without altered functionality at the same time. If anything had gone wrong it would have been tricky to see what was due to the transfer and what to the editing.

Now that the move has been successful, we will just need to keep reminding them of what still needs attention.

The Ads are annoying, I just click them off and don't even read them. I am sure the majority do that, so waste of time really.

I agree about the ads, but if that is what keeps GN afloat, then maybe a necessary evil. Annoying, but easy to avoid.

Yes, I am disappointed. There was a particularly flashing one just now that is so disruptive. I do wish GN would listen, please!

That was quick. Still got these stupid pop up ads. Guaranteed to deter posters and certainly put people off ever dealing with the companies advertising.

That was quick!👏👏

Well, I seem to be on here... so it didn't last long, whatever it was.

Looks like it's back.

Is that it then! Well done GN

Ah, thanks Yammy

If it’s not back on this lunchtime, I will start a thread on Mumsnet, and we can gather together there!

Thanks, Fanny you really are a trouper. I'm not a member but will join. My DH says Gran's net keeps both of us sane,me with my rants and him not getting his ear bent all the time.
Let's hope it comes back on and if not Au Revoir everyone see you on Mumsnet.

I must admit that this was my first response when I saw this yesterday.

Can we look forward to you removing those annoying advertisements that pop up in the middle of EVERY thread??

I’m heartily sick of the sight of video clips of Boris Johnson’s coronavirus briefings from 2020 popping up. What is the point?
