Directing readers to FaceBook

I don't have these NannaM is there something you can do to your browser to prevent them?

Well TomGransnet here is one VERY BIG thumbs down! Beyond frustrating to not be able to read a post because the FB redirect wont go away!!

Another Thumbs Down ?????

Tom, I had a Facebook account until just before Christmas when I was the victim of a hacker. Fortunately nothing untoward happened, but it put me right off FB so I cancelled my account and left, never intending to return.
So, please let's not be directed to a Facebook page. ??

Another BIG thumbs down!!!!!!

Haven't seen any yet but I do not want to be any more involved with FB.
Already avoiding the 'livechat on FB' aspect of GN.

Have already posted on another thread about this but just to repeat NO! The share tab does not go way and I cannot click on the thread I want. Please stop this!

I m not getting any pop ups, what are people meaning?

Bluebell, the daily email has the link on. If you try to click on a thread it asked you to share on Facebook but wont let you get past to the thread unless you share. The share link will not close and the only thing to do is go directly onto Gransnet site then look for the threads you want to view.

Can't access the first post and I want to know why there is no hope for the poster.

I don’t get a daily email so not missing anything then ???

What daily email? I don’t get one - not that I want one, I get enough dross as it is.

Also finding this pop-up extremely annoying.I left FB last year and will never go back on it.Please allow us to read the first thread on the e-mail or I may be leaving GN too!

Obviously doesn’t happen in Norfolk and Suffolk Nfkdumpling

Seems it's a glitch on the first thread link on the daily email, the others are OK. Hopefully it won't happen again.
I like the daily as it gives a heads up on competitions, book club etc. I rarely click on the thread links as I prefer to look at all the active threads rather than just selected ones.

Dear Tom - What happens is that 1. We receive the email with the postings. 2. We click on the first posting, and read all the comments. 3. We click on the next posting, etc, etc. BUT on one posting on todays email lists, the FB message to click "like on Face Book" comes on and there is no way of removing it. So we cant read the post. Its got nothing to do with the "share" link. FaceBook has kidnapped this post.
4. Imagine, Tom, you are in a restaurant with your friends. You order, and then the waiter comes and says to you "Sorry you need to move to another table". So you goodnaturedly (because thats who you are) get up and move. You lift up your fork, and the waiter comes back "sorry, you need to move to another table", and so, not-so-goodnatiuredly, you get up and move.
And so on and so on.
You NEVER did get to eat your dinner.
That's what is happening here.

Facebook is discovering that youngsters are disappearing in droves.

Next target market is the oldies, US, not US but GNS.

Profit at any price duh

Please take Facebook off your site, I don't like it and don't use it. If it remains I will leave Gransnet, which I do enjoy. I know that research had been published that says the older generation use FB far more than the young, but this intrusion into a pleasant browse would seem to be an attempt to cash in to the advertising revenue FB brings to say nothing of the fake news FB publishes.I also note that when I tried to get into the first post of today, the FB tab said 48 people liked it - what I couldn't tell, because I couldn't reach the post, but 48 likes on a website as big as Gransnet sends its own message - people are interested. And please republish these posts without the share tag so I can get in.

Should say "aren't interested" on post above. Please get rid of Facebook.

I'm another one who looks forward to the daily email and it's the first thing I read when I get home from work. But today I was unable to access the first post as the Facebook message comes up and won't go away. It just keeps popping up. This will put people off Gransnet and would rather not have Facebook involvement. Please stop this.

Hear, hear, have already posted on another thread about how annoying this is, for goodness sake get rid of it!

Another voice here for please get rid of Facebook link. Don’t belong to Fb, don’t intend to join. As other posters have said, imposs to get round it the ‘share’ pop-up.
Thank you.

Where’s this ‘ere Daily Mail?
