Jacky,

Over the last few weeks I've been reading over some old threads....just idle curiosity really. There were some great threads.

However, whilst reading these old threads, many times I have seen my name against posts which I did not write. In fact, often the posts are signed by the person who wrote them, so it obviously wasn't me!! But there's not the usual delete facility in the box - like there is on one of your own posts.
Am I making sense so far?

I have, on more than one occasion, written to GR insisting they remove these as I do not want my name against posts I did not write. Who knows, one day you might discover your name against something truly awful.

As I said, some of the posts with my name against them have someone's name signed at the bottom. I'm fairly sure (though not certain) that these people are no longer with GR, and I think this is where the problem lies. There seems to be some glitch within the intricate workings (mechanical or mental) of GR which causes this, but they have yet to acknowledge the problem or address it.

P.S. personally I think it's disgusting that they can leave ex members postings on here to pick up current members names - and do sod all about it.

Hi Jacky :-)

It's a problem caused by old members leaving. It happened to me and spooked me out.

:-) Good to see you

Claire... I clicked on what is showing as my name and number (number at bottom of screen different) on the thread and I can send a message to no one. If I try on the name that is showing my membership number at the bottom of the page it says no longer a member. But I am!!! And I have been for almost 5 and half years :-(

must be magic

strange things happen on GR



BEEN THERE GOT THE TEE SHIRT

I've just found Mags Jackson on that thread. If you click on her name as if to send a PM you'll find she's no longer a member. People leaving has caused this problem in the past.

I have just checked again and in earlier posts on the same thread the membership number is shown as Mags Jackson who signed out as Dolores.

Was that Mags in Bristol?

Jacky

Dolores was the name used on that particlar thread as we all used something 'old fashioned'. I can't remember who she was in other postings.

Weird things have happened in the past when someone has deleted from GR. Do you know if this Dolores still a member?

so does not surprise me jacky.

I have just had a look through the nudged thread for Ethel of Stoke Poges to remind myself what I used to sign myself as on the thread (I was Gladys wi the white nets). But my name and membership number is showing up on someone elses posts (Dolores) and if you hover over the name you will see that it is a different membership number. I clicked on to send a message to see who it was and no name is appearing.

I know that I have only ever had one membership number and also only one name on the Ethel thread. Very weird :-(
