Empty boxes!

What?!! i mean, pardon?

Well, don't advertisers pay GN for the privilege of touting their wares here?

Oh, just realised what you meant, jingl - crossed wires.....(or I am just thick! )

I'd just like to point out that another thread has disappeared off the Active list - Republicans has gone! It's still there in the Politics list when you look at forum subjects, though!

It's back now - I know it wasn't there before though. I triple-checked

Josie sorry for delay. I don't think it's to do with the bookmarks, it's happened to whenim64 too,(see empty boxes thread). It just flicks to the home page, but not every time, just occasionally.
All my threads are bookmarked.
My browser is Mozilla Firefox.

I think the text size fluctuates depending on whether I changed it while on a thread, as opposed to when on the "Active" menu page.

to all techies

Yes, the Republicans thread disappeared when I was looking for it, too. Then, when I found it eventually, it wouldn't let me in, but kept defaulting to the home page. There are some Gransnet Gremlins knocking about

So glad you posted then when, I was beginning to feel silly! . Moi?

Yes ....there seem to four threads that are defaulting again from 'last day' list ...this is now the third day i've found this happening

Did wonder if it was an outsider causing the problem once they've viewed the thread??

Come on GNHQ rats nibbling the virtual threads??

Don't you just love it when everything starts going haywire? It takes me back to mornings at work when no-one could log in, computers would crash, and probation officers would be threatening to walk out because they couldn't get access to their records. Hahaha....it doesn't matter any more

Yes nowim64

The smart board wouldn't work, so all introductions to lessons gone... couldn't print off all the worksheets you'd prepared for group activities the night before ... the images, you'd surfed for the plenary not available!!

back to the open your books at ...if you'd still got any text books in the classroom!!

happy days ...so nice when you can roll over for another half an hour in bed on these dark, dismal, windy wet summer days!!

The name of the thread disappears on the 'last day' list ...they then have the same thing written ...a symbole followed by some writing but can't remember what now?? ...if you click on it [the replacement for the name] it takes you off to the forums page.

Don't think I've explained that very well

$search.TopicName

That's what comes up GNHQ instead of actual name of thread ...there are three more there at the moment

These long lines mean that, to see them on the iPad, I have to reduce the size of the text, which I then have difficulty reading. Oh dear!

I'm not having any problem, other than my usual state!

Still finding some threads come up wide, and some not.

I do NOT like having to scroll both down and sideways!

Me neither! This morning, some threads aren't opening at all by clicking on the most recent posting, such as the employment tribunal one. I had to go through active, then click on the heading, rather than the name of the poster, and work my way through.

Threads with hundreds of postings are becoming a nightmare to navigate. You get the first post on a single page, and have to keep scrolling through to the end.

I dont seem to be having any of these problems, I am on a laptop.

I don't have problems with threads not opening or with the headings of threads. I use Chrome as a browser.
As I've already said, I use a laptop and the wide posts are more difficult to read with varifocals.

I use a PC at work and a laptop at home. I don't have any problem actually reading the posts - I just don't like the wide layout.
A thread starts out 'thin' and is compact and comfortable to read, then suddenly it spreads out as if it's dropped into a vast ocean!

I don't like the wide threads either! Awful on my phone and it doesn't feel natural on the laptop.

I usually use an iPad now, but keep having to get my old laptop out whilst there's all this messing about.
