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?

Hi all

​There was an error when we scheduled our Mumsnet and Gransnet daily emails today. The contents of the daily Gransnet newsletter contain links to threads on Mumsnet.

Unfortunately, there's no way for us to go back and rectify this. We do apologise for the inconvenience and things will be back to normal tomorrow.

I also haven't commented because I don't use the email and haven't been sent to MN. Don't think there is anything sinister about it. GN is always open on my laptop. Or if it's not I just Google it and go straight there.

I get a Gransnet Daily email showing “top threads” (usually from the previous day). Opening today’s email took me straight to Mumsnet. This hasn’t happened before. I use an iPad.

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

Not at all. I find it very honest and refreshing unlike GN which is often an echo chamber.

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

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.

That's what I do Callistemon. I type Gransnet Active into Google and I'm in (password saved to my computer). No idea about emails or icons.

Yup, same here, straight to Mumsnet.

Bluebelle I'm with you on this. The app icon is on my homepage on my phone. I rarely open Gransnet from their email. Never a problem

Moi Aussi!

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

thanks, Petra.
it opens at what i was last reading, so that suits me fine.
then all the other sites i usually read are all along the top line, so i just click between them as i wish.
they do all disappear occasionally, perhaps because there are too many of them and they just drop off, i don't know, but i can get them again easily by clicking the plus sign and searching through google.

I wasn't routed through Mumsnet today or any other day. I always click on the Gransnet icon. Considerably dumbfounded today to find myself confronted by dozens of spam messages.

JudyBloom Mon 20-May-24 18:33:04

I access Gransnet directly, not through any emails.

And me!

Me too!

Wyllow3 Mon 20-May-24 17:57:53

Just thought, "oh a blip" and deleted the mail and went back to open GN the usual way, but its only happened the once.

Cabbie21 Mon 20-May-24 17:57:19

I get Gransnet if I click on the icon but if I click on an email link it opens Mumsnet.

4allweknow Mon 20-May-24 17:50:58

No access for me too. Strange Gransnet hasn't noticed. Would have expected a message explaining technical difficulties being experienced.

BlueBelle Mon 20-May-24 17:37:32

So do none of you have the GN icon on your home page or in favourites can I ask why ? I presumed everyone just automatically clicked in like I do and it’s all immediate

vintage1950 Mon 20-May-24 17:35:04

Yes, me as well.

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.

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

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

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

Me too.

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

Me to opened my email on phone as usual ……
