The email was from gransnet as ususal, but when I opened it, I found myself having to log on to mumsnet, and as I do not live in the UK and therefore do not have a British postal code there was an immediate problem.

However, it looked as if it could be circumnavigated, but no. I can read a thread, and then click one of two options: either that OP is being reasonable or unreasonable.

By clicking on Active, I landed back on gransnet - but wnat is going on?

Here as well, Gransnet HQ?

BlueBelle Mon 20-May-24 16:39:42

What do you all do then to open GN doesn’t anyone just open it from their icon ?

welbeck Mon 20-May-24 16:48:38

i do, BlueBelle.
i open chrome laptop, enter password, then click on the maroon G among many on the top row.
but i'm old-fashioned/ not tech savvy . . .
anyway it works for me.
have to keep it simple.

I usually open mine through the desk top app., im still being taken to mumsnet first. So go through email until GN fix it.

This should be in your favourites. Or, look in history and click any GN posts.

I've just had this happen. Quite fulsome and confrontational, arern't they?

Shill29 Mon 20-May-24 17:16:22

And me

A worrying development. Surprised more people haven't commented and even more surprised GN admin hasn't said anything. Sinister.

Marg75 Mon 20-May-24 17:20:57

Me too!

FranA Mon 20-May-24 17:20:59

It has happened to me too. Someone has made a mistake somewhere.

Barleysugar Mon 20-May-24 17:22:35

Just happened o me too- so annoying- what is going on??
I don't like mumsnet.

HomeAgain123 Mon 20-May-24 17:23:42

Me to opened my email on phone as usual ……

Googled gransnet then to get to this page

LottieLouise Mon 20-May-24 17:26:29

Me too.

Bea65 Mon 20-May-24 17:26:43

Yes … the email opened up and it was a Mumsnet Post

LottieLouise Mon 20-May-24 17:28:23

We receive emails from Gransnet and ensure it is not a scam email, we then open it up and see lots of comments that I thought were on Gransnet Forums but no, they are all on Mumsnet. I do not read anything on Mumsnet.

I havent commented because that's not how I access Gransnet 🤔
I just Google Gransnet and log on. Didn't know there was another way.
