Dear Cari

I guessed it ages ago anyway.

That's the daft part - it was hardly a secret about MN so why try to pretend that Tech were just 'too busy' to sort out the GN profiles...I really don't understand it! Give us some credit...

Huh?? Wot?

Is that really necessary jingl?

Perhaps they genuinely are doing their best in which cause juvenile taunts are hardly going to speed anything up.

GNHQ have said it's work in progress, it's hardly the end of the world if Profiles are down. They've said that they're a very small team working flat out so stop being so insulting.

loopy, have you read the Mumsnet link on the other thread?

Ah!

Profiles really don't bother me but we should have been told.

Yes I have
It doesn't change what I feel. Why on earth do some GNs think it's appropriate to be insulting?

Life ain't perfect - I am sure it will all be sorted soon, and they are doing their best. I am not sure what it is that HQ is supposed not to have told us. The hacking problem was general knowledge so nothing to tell. At some point no doubt we will have a similar message here about reinstating the profiles. I guess they will have started with the larger of the two sites.

Having dipped into the "other side" a few times over the last few days, my definition of "insulting" has changed. Believe me, we ain't seen nothing on here! There are lots of angry pottymouths over there!

I can't see what was 'insulting' about jing's' posts.

(unless you mean the tonguestickyout thing which is obviously a joke...)

HQ have said several times that they're working on it, and like Luckygirl I'm sure it will be sorted in due course so I fail to understand why all the grief.
No one's been fobbed off etc.

I just don't find insulting others amusing, but then that's probably just me. I assume some think such posts will speed things up......

Oh for Heaven's sake. Go and polish yer halo.

You obviously haven't got a clue about where I'm coming from.

HQ have told MN that they turned the profiles off because of the hacking incident. Why couldn't they have told us that?

(still don't understand what's supposed to have been insulting...)

They even "mailed" one of their posters because she wasn't up to date about it all. But we just get, "Tech's busy".

You know what? I don't give a flying fuck anymore.

Well it's exactly what I guessed was the reason weeks and weeks ago! And I remember you saying, jings something like 'yes, you're very probably right'.

Thanks

Thanks Kat.
So nothing to do with MN after all..........

Of course it was to do with Mumsnet. Probably just one button to clear the lot.

I like people to be up front. Can' stand pussy footing around.

And what a coincidence - they're coming back at the same time as the MN ones. Pull the other one. etc.

RebeccaMumsnet posted on there yesterday:

'Since our "friend" Jeffrey appeared, we took the decision to turn off profiles to preserve any personal info and pictures.'

So obviously we would think the same applied to GN.

I don't understand your reasoning, loopylou.

Thank you Kat for responding.

Thank you Kat, it really isn't a deal breaker for me, but thank you for keeping on trying.

Have a nice tea. Anyway.
