Hi all,

This is just to let you know that Gransnet will be offline tomorrow (Saturday 29th October) from around 9 am for server maintenance.

We'll keep the outage as short as possible, but the site could be down for up to two hours. We're switching Gransnet's hosting to a different server, which means some unavoidable downtime while we copy the latest forum messages etc from the old to the new.

We're really sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Can we look forward to you removing those annoying advertisements that pop up in the middle of EVERY thread??

DaisyAnne Fri 28-Oct-22 19:34:32

I thought they were designed to drive us away.

I’m heartily sick of the sight of video clips of Boris Johnson’s coronavirus briefings from 2020 popping up. What is the point?

Me too Grannynannywanny!

I must admit that this was my first response when I saw this yesterday.

If it’s not back on this lunchtime, I will start a thread on Mumsnet, and we can gather together there! smile

Thanks, Fanny you really are a trouper. I'm not a member but will join. My DH says Gran's net keeps both of us sane,me with my rants and him not getting his ear bent all the time.
Let's hope it comes back on and if not Au Revoir everyone see you on Mumsnet.

They'moving to a new server, not pressing self destruct grin.

MawtheMerrier Sat 29-Oct-22 09:04:58

Not necessarily mutually exclusive grin

FannyCornforth Sat 29-Oct-22 09:11:51

Maw grin

FannyCornforth Sat 29-Oct-22 09:12:24

Ah, thanks Yammy

FannyCornforth Sat 29-Oct-22 09:58:14

Is that it then! Well done GN

RainyGran Sat 29-Oct-22 09:58:15

Looks like it's back.

henetha Sat 29-Oct-22 10:03:07

Well, I seem to be on here... so it didn't last long, whatever it was.

MawtheMerrier Sat 29-Oct-22 10:14:46

That was quick!👏👏

Aveline Sat 29-Oct-22 10:19:41

That was quick. Still got these stupid pop up ads. Guaranteed to deter posters and certainly put people off ever dealing with the companies advertising.

henetha Sat 29-Oct-22 10:23:57

Yes, I am disappointed. There was a particularly flashing one just now that is so disruptive. I do wish GN would listen, please!
