Gransnet I mean!

Until a few minutes ago, every thread I tried to open resulted in a gobbledygook message.

Then when I did finally manage to open and post on a thread, I was immediately kicked out and had to log in again.

Strictly entre nous, I think they have been making an early start on the sherry and mince pies.

<sweeps up the crumbs>

Apols, there's been some kind of technical fault across the site, which we think is now fixed <fingers crossed>

Was this the message?

$breakStringTool.fixThreadName($!pm.threadName)

A few of us have been having this problem (see Emoticons thread)! confused

Thanks, Kat smile

BreakStringTool.fix sounds like something DS used to say when a cheap toy didn't last long.

Ana Thu 28-Nov-13 20:34:27

Yes, it was doing it on this one just now - at least it let me log in this time!...(although I hadn't logged out!)

Lona Thu 28-Nov-13 20:36:05

Just got me too, I thought I'd got away with it!

glassortwo Thu 28-Nov-13 20:37:09

It wont let me post and got that strange message, I have had to log in again.
For ages now I havent been able to log in on my mobile wont accept my password and I know its the right one as I tthen go on my laptop and enter the same password and it lets me in.

I think it is 'avin a laff with us old dears - testing to see if we can remember our passwords/usernames/who we are - or else has just made an early start on the mulled wine grin

Oh good I thought I'd broken gransnet. I'm glad it wasn't me. Just everyone else, obviously, who has posted before me on this thread. grin
