Hello, everyone.

As we approach the end of the year, we at GNHQ are thinking about what we can do to improve the site for everyone in 2024. Simply put - we think we need a makeover!

What we’d really like to know is does Gransnet hit the spot, or is there something you're itching for. What features do you love, (or not) and is there a gap we need to fill? We’d also like to know if you think Gransnet reflects who you are and if not, how can we make it more ‘you’?

If you were in charge at GNHQ for the day, what changes would you make? Anything from the layout or the topics to even the name Gransnet (AI suggested ‘nananook.com' grin) - we want to hear it.

Your opinions matter to us and we’re all ears.

Thanks,
GNHQ

Encouraging to see that you’ve taken all the suggestions on board Annie (not!) 🙄

GNHQ must be on an extended Christmas break 🎄🎄🎄

Annie are you there?

Or anyone ... there must be someone. Tell you what I'll do a redesign with some help from all the people on this thread 🤔

I'll help. What do you want me to do? smile

Absolutely pouring here, set to last for the next 24 hours, high winds too so a glimpse of some sunshine is welcome.

Well we did manage to get the swimming picture changed to a rehash of 60th birthday celebrations.

nanna8 Wish I was there.

nanna8 Sun 21-Jan-24 11:41:13

Perhaps they are here ?

nanna8 Sun 21-Jan-24 11:38:54

Thought this would have disappeared by now. Anyone there?

An edit facility to correct spelling mistakes, etc., like they have on the Wine Society Community website.

I'm here! With a suggestion, or 3!

It would be great if you could thank certain posts, and edit when you have made a mistake. Also, be given the choice whether you want to watch a thread after posting.

How long before last post disappears.

Heliotrope Wed 10-Jan-24 15:13:26

Posts disappearing again, I just said fix the current problems before talking about updating

Heliotrope Wed 10-Jan-24 14:50:29

Let’s get the problems fixed before we talk about changes, I can’t post.

We could all report this thread! wink

I remember the young man at GNHQ, who used to post with tech updates. He always was always so pleasant and put up with the banter. I can't for the life of me recall his name.

There was also the time when my eye brow tinting went wrong and I started a thread about it. GNHQ joined in with the fun.
Changed days indeed!

You’re right Maggiemaybe, the GN of old (and really, not going that far back, but certainly pre covid and possibly pre Brexit), seemed much friendlier, with more general chit chat input fro GNHQ staff, along with competitions, books to apply for & review if you got one - then the follow up chat with the author.
I posted under a different moniker back then, but can assure you I was there.
I know things evolve and change, that’s normal, but not everything is necessarily better.

Maggiemaybe Tue 09-Jan-24 13:38:14

Now if that doesn’t lure them back, nothing will!

Callistemon21 Tue 09-Jan-24 11:20:54

It’s a waste of everyone’s time, isn’t it? And the same happens every year.

The thread’s made me nostalgic for the Gransnet of old. The one with regular competitions, books to apply for every month, jolly GNHQ input and some very witty (and now late lamented) members. I was so pleased to have found it back in 2012, but I can’t see much here now to tempt new people to join, or to stay.

Perhaps it’s a sign of the times - like everywhere, no money, staff shortages - or perhaps it’s just me. smile

No, it's not just you Maggiemaybe

Come back Cari, Geraldine, Josi .......

We have 🎂 and ☕ and even 🍷
