Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble posting replies?

I have to use the 'reply' at the top instead of 'add' which is underneath each post - i am using firefox - maybe its a firefox issue?

Can you see the word reply under tips board ?
It doesnt show up on mine , just two white boxes ? Click on the left box

To send click on the space under preview.

Add doesnt do much it only takes you to the top.

For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

I also have to use the reply box as add doesn't work and I'm using IE so it's not just a firefox problem.

This happened when the new layout started, the "ADD" button when pressed so if you are at the bottom of the page it takes you to the top of the page where the reply button shows. does nothing else

The ADD button at the bottom of every post has not worked since they re-did the site late last year!


You have to scroll up to the top and click on REPLY ....... then it works beautifully!!!

In that case, contact GR ...... scroll down to the black line just below all the message boxes, and click on Contact Us.

The add button is designed the same as page up button on your key board,
you clickon it and it takes you to the top of the page so you can clickon the reply button to reply/add to the thread,
this way it stops you having to scroll up to the top of the page to add/reply to the thread

Berona, You do not have to use ADD it is just a quick way of getting to the top of the page where you can get access to the reply button instead of having to scroll to the top

If clicking on add doesn't take you to the top of the page (as mine doesn't) there is no need to scroll, just press the button marked "home" on your keyboard and that will take you to the top.

My add button stopped working when they updated,i use firefox as well.
It's annoying having to go up to the top of the page to reply especially if it's a popular post

There is a problem. At the weekend I posted an item on the Success Stories board. Several hours later it had not appeared (in fact there had been nothing new on there for several hours) and I reported it to GR. They emailed me next day to say that they had fixed it, but if it can happen on one board, why not others?.

Researching:
Hill, Jewell - Cornwall. Langley-Shropshire,Cole, Neate -Wiltshire,Lott, Ewell- Kent.Punter, Gadd, Wapshott, White, Weston - Surrey. To say nothing of the other half's family!

Christine

it can take DAYS for a posting to appear on the Success board and the weekend is particularly bad

.... they are supposed to be vetted first, and the people at GR work office hours. Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm, UK time!

If you notice, you rarely see only one new post on that board, there's usually 3 or 4 at a time, very occasionally more.

Why do they vet them???

Apparently to make sure that you are mentioning ONLY successes that have happened through GR and not through any other site, and that you are not posting anything other than a success story.

All the other boards post messages as soon as you click Submit (unless you yourself have sent it into the ether, as I have done by accident!)
