This morning I typed a long message to a friend on GR, only to find that it would NOT go.
I could not even save it to Drafts.
Did anyone else have any problems this morning with GR?
I did send a short note later , which did go.

I have informed GR - perhaps we should all send them a message

It's a shambles but my old messages are still there, if you scroll right down past all the bumf you will see your contacts. It says recieved and sent together now instead of the neat way of all recieved together. I had to click on one message twice to open it but it was a new one from a friend who had tried to send me one earlier.
I hate it, why do they constantly have to fiddle and spoil things, I hope they put it back the way it was, it's useless now.

Better look for all mine then Rose, I have just sent them a stiff message, if we all did like Ann suggests they might have to put it back as it was.

I am glad you said that LADYCUTIE.... I am really fed up clicking like an idiot and getting nowhere.
I tried to put the message into drafts so that if there was a fault, I could post it later.... It could not even go to Drafts!

Caz, I have done that, gone down the page.... and there is nothing 'new' on the list.
I am so glad that I put up this post as I was feeling as if I WERE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

See...It is not ALWAYS my fault.... even if I think it is.;-0)

Thanks girls.
Good luck.... and how do I e-mail them because there is another problem!

well at last I have worked out how to use this new message system - how cumbersome!! have asked GR to please go back to how it was before - if it ain't broke, don't mend it!!

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 13 Jul 2010 05:51

well, mine seems to be arranged the same as before .......... ie, Inbox, Sent etc


However, I have to click on the TITLE of the message to be able to read it


If I click on the name of the person, as I used to do, then I get that person's profile



a friend on GR told me that she could not send a message unless she typed in a title for it



daft beggars ..... why can't they leave well alone?!

what I strongly object to is the fact that the first thing you see is your year of birth - if I wish people t know how old I am I shall tell them

Lady Cutie

Lady Cutie Report 13 Jul 2010 10:37

Ann of Green Gables ,

Well good morning girls, and AGAIN I am having problems with the mail.
I now have a message from a member.... but I cannot open it.
In the passed few weeks I have had quite a struggle with changes!
WHY?
Someone who thinks it is a great idea to show off their 'talent' decides to 'mess with my mind!
AH WELL....
