Hi to everyone.
Just wondering......how do you attach Smileys to postings ??

Thanks everyone for the info about private messages. Think I need to open my eyes a bit! Doh....... ;)

Nanapippa and crimson If you send a private message, it can only be seen by the person to whom you have sent it. I sent and received one yesterday. You get an e-mail from gransnet in your usual in-box and then come to the site and access the message. So if you want to give your e-mail addresses to someone, I think you can do so safely.

glassortwo have a look at the inbox up there <points>

crimson if you want to private message someone just click on the 'private message' bit on the right hand side of the purple bar with their name on. You can then write your message to the poster and nobody else will see it (any incoming mail will come in your inbox at the top of the page)

I am a veteran of gransnet of 10 minutes but think it works out the same as mumsnet.

I came over to gransnet for a look, I have been a mumsnetter on here. It's lovely - it is having a conversation with my (much adored) mother in law.

Welcome Daisymay

Sorry x posted.

crimson If you look on a posting, say mine here to the right it say's private message for that person and if you click it allows you to send a message.

I find it a bit frustrating as there seems to be no way of knowing if you have a personal message other than receiving an email to your personal email you signed up with, and sometimes it is ages later when i get to check my emails, so you loose some of the benefits of instant talk.

I think we should have some form of instant chat on here.

I hope that helps, and I am not talking out of my head.

Silly me; just noticed it says private message top right hand corner!

There does seem to be a private message facility, but not sure how it works.

Not sure also if there is a way in which one can get in touch with people you like chatting to by giving ones e mail address, but not publishing it for all to see. You can on saga zone, but as yet can't see how on here. I have made a few good friends on S Z that way, but wouldn't want to publish such information openly. Any ideas anyone?

Well lets hope that we can have a chatroom on here so nice to have somewhere like this to come to for me as I havnt really anyone to confide in and reading some of the threads here I can relate to some myself not that I would spend time just telling my problems in the chatroom but nice to know there are people here that listen and perhaps give a bit of adivce of needed or perhaps I like to think I might be able to help someone too.
Crimson glasd youre okay now yes awful when you cant do things you want to do very frustrating for me at times.
Very windy here today wondering if Nanna Pippa did her hanging baskets
.

For anyone who doesnt know what LOL means its

LAUGH OUT LOUD.

took me ages to work out what that meant myself.
Timee to stop nattering am off for my nice cuppa tea.
Nite nite all

hello ladies
I think a chat room would be great where we could talk about anything and occasionally have a little rant or just share a funny situation

Hello Ladies

I just joined this morning and think it's lovely to be able to chat with like minded ladies. Looking at the thread, it seems that a site chat room where anyone can just talk about anything would be most welcome.

wow; first smiley face

Daisymay; I hurt my leg a couple of years ago and was pretty housebound for several months; that's when I discovered the internet and realised I could still 'meet' people. Thankfully, I'm ok now, but it was a real eye opener for me, as I had been someone who totally poo pooed computers. It's wonderful to be able to, for example, watch a film and then discuss it with people from all over the world. I find that emails are brilliant because, if you phone someone you're taking up their time; letters are too slow to arrive, but to be able to compose what to say and read/reply at leisure is fantastic. It's like a time machine as well, because I've got in touch with people from my childhood, but I agree that time flies by when one is online. I love the fact that I can rabbit on but anyone can just ignore me! [attempts smiley face...

Ladies we can try asking the powers that be if we can have a site chat room.
