There are a large number of posts by m345m45m454m45m which appear in the Last Hour list but it is impossible to report them.
Can anyone else see them?

I'll report this post to GNHQ

Hello and thanks for getting in touch about this,

We are taking a look into this now.

Allira Sat 04-Oct-25 14:22:24

Also my black box is still there.

Thanks Imani

There are lots more on the "Last Day" topics list. starting with the "sponsored discussions" pharmacy questions at 12.51 and ending at the thread about "Are you worried about your or partner's health" at 3.00. I can't see them inside the couple of threads that I looked at, but they are visible as the last post on each thread in the topic slist. They seem to have stopped since then.

It's not just me then. Thank goodness!

Yes, Elegran, that are still there on the Last Day list but, when you go into a thread to report them, they're not there.

they are still there ...

Hello and thanks for posting. We've deleted several spam posts today - sorry about that. Can you please give us more information about why you're unable to report the posts to GNHQ?

If they're appearing in the active list but are deleted when you click through, then there can be a delay of deleted threads dropping off the list, especially when we're deleting a lot of them.

When you go on the thread, the posts aren't there to report, AnnieGransnet, but still appeared on the list.

I second that. When I looked on the "Last day" list, there were about half a dozen threads which had a post by that poster listed as the most recent post on them between 12.51 and 3.00, but when I looked at the threads themselves, those were not the most recent posts - in fact they didn't exist, nor was there any indication that they ever had existed. This look was at just before 14.28, so there had been a long enough time between the middle of the night and early afternoon or the reference to them to disappear as well as the posts themselves. Also, there is usually a note in the thread saying that a post has been deleted.
I've just looked again, and almost all of the threads were old ones which the strangely-named poster must have resuscitated.

For, not or.

Very strange!

Has anybody been to the M & shoe section this winter looking for wide fit boots or shoes. Impossible to find for reasons i can't understand. Assistant told me "they're all online now". Older people's feet tend to spread with age but all i could see were dainty little pointed toe footwear aimed at young people.
I told the assistant (who probably couldn't care less what i think) that buying shoes online without having tried them on first is a tedious business, if you need to return them as unsuitable, especially if it's a half size you need. Anybody agree with me?

sorry i don't think i've done this posting properly - not sure how to start a new topic.

It’s really strange I ve been off and on GN last 2/3 hours and no scam posts have appeared on my iPad either on the list or as posts !!!!

Netherby choose which forum you want to post in I d suggest ‘chat’ for this topic, open up and right under the headline you ll see a box saying START A NEW DISCUSSION click into there and off you go, once you ve done it you ll be fine, it’s really self explanatory
