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?

There is no Gransnet app!!!!!

You can, however, in some browsers (I am in Chrome) in the drop down menu find a menu point called "Add to home screen". This will place the GN logo on your home screen or desk top and you can access it from there. Most of the methods above seem quite a palaver.

Me neither Winterwhite
Can I ask how do all the email people get onto GN BEFORE the email arrives in your box and what would you do if they missed you out one day ?

If the daily email hasn’t yet arrived I just click on the previous day’s email.
I can’t find any mention of, or way of accessing, an icon on Gransnet - perhaps it’s no longer an option?

I’m with BlueBelle. I just have GN on my favourites on my I pad, I never log out, I just click on it whenever I want to browse GN.

Never opted to get e mails.

I use the red and white icon as well Bluebelle and I didn’t know there was any other way either.

BlueBelle Tue 21-May-24 18:16:34

blossoming the Gransnet is of course available on the iPad that’s what I m using now I only have a iPad and iPhone and have gn icon on my home page to click into I don’t know why you think you can get on GN on iPad ????

BlueBelle Tue 21-May-24 18:10:58

That’s a really long winded way of doing things grandtante are you using an iPad or iPhone I just have any favourites as icons on my home page and simply click on the picture and you’re up and running

I just click on my GN icon on my home page I don’t go through any emails ???
Mine opened as normal

I don't have a personal home-page if that is what you are referring to, nor do I have a Gransnet icon anywhere.

I always access Gransnet using the link contained in the daily e-mail I receive. I did not know there was any other way of accessing Gransnet.

That said, I am glad to hear it is a clitch in the system yesterday, and not just me it happened to.

Mine too. Assumed it was a glitch. Back to normal today, though, thank goodness. I find the language on Mumsnet atrocious - or is it me? Saying the odd swear word is one thing but putting it in writing is another. Unacceptable.

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.

** !! ++

It was all explained on the previous page.

I have unsubscribed from the daily newsletter as it was usually out of date by then time it arrived and most of it wasn't relevant for me as I don't live i. The UK

I don’t have an icon on my homepage because the GN app isn’t available on iPads.

I just open Safari and start typing Gransnet in the search bar, by the time it gets to the 3rd letter it finds the Gransnet forums and I don’t need to log in.

Bridie22 Tue 21-May-24 10:06:23

Still being redirected to Mumsnet, anybody been fixed yet?

Bridie22 Tue 21-May-24 07:45:42

Because mine is sent to desk top site via daily email, no app,,no icon.

BlueBelle Tue 21-May-24 06:58:00

Why don’t you all have the icon on your homepage ???
I don’t understand

nanna8 Tue 21-May-24 02:13:29

Another reason why I don’t get the gransnet emails and won’t. Couldn’t stand getting one every day, too much.

grannybuy Tue 21-May-24 00:07:52

And me.

sharon103 Mon 20-May-24 22:43:30

I get a daily email, clicked on that and got Mumsnet.

Me too, but today it was Mumsnet.

25Avalon Mon 20-May-24 21:34:37

How did I do that? So it wasn’t me

Norah Mon 20-May-24 21:30:58

I always Google "Gransnet.com" then my numbers. Worked fine today.

Puzzlelove Mon 20-May-24 20:55:25

Same happened to me. Hopefully tomorrow it will work correctly.

Ziplok Mon 20-May-24 20:47:39

Yes, I thought I was seeing things when I read some of the headings 😂.

welbeck Mon 20-May-24 20:39:48

i don't receive emails from GN, unless i report something.
i don't want any more emails . . . !
those people who google GN every day, doesn't your computer save the ones you were last reading ?
i rarely have to google my usual haunts.

knspol Mon 20-May-24 20:31:54

Me too! I open gransnet via the daily email, don't know any other way. Tried google and it just came up with the good morning thread from Michael.
