Messages all vanishing and now strange new 'report this post' boxes coming up.

Are you tinkering? Smile

i think it is absolutely dreadful and whilst in no way flouncing (you wish) it puts me right off mumsnet.

Doh - ignore that, completely misread that it goes to your inbox.

It will Kanga, but for security you have to log into your email.

If you click the button it takes you to your default email programme, in your case you have to then sign in.

As soon as you sign in it will automatically start and address an email to MNHQ, with a link to the exact post you want to report.

You can either just send the email as it is or you can add further comments at the bottom.

kanga - how did it go to your googlemail Shock?

spacedonkey · 21/04/2006 13:28

lol kanga, at least you've worked out how to make googlemail your default email client!

JoolsToo · 21/04/2006 13:27

OO-er Georgie - ta very much but what exactly am I doing with them?! Grin

I have g-mail notifier already that tells me when I get an email - will this programme add gmail to internet options?

RTKangaMummy · 21/04/2006 13:26

I am being very dim but when I clicked on "report this post" it came up with my Googlemail inbox

I don't understand how it works

Jools, you need \link{http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ext/ext-09.html\this} and then you will be able to make Yahoo your default if you want to.

that would be better H2D, still this will work for most people in the meantime

JoolsToo · 21/04/2006 13:16

I've got yahoo and googlemail - but neither of them show in internet options.

I have hotmail too but its sh*te Grin

hub2dee · 21/04/2006 13:15

I e-mailed contactus; possibly in the future the mailto link will be replaced by an online form instead of opening your default e-mail application...

No, this is the problem, afaik it won't work with webmail, just programs like Outlook etc

hunkermunker · 21/04/2006 13:10

Doesn't list gmail on there.

JoolsToo · 21/04/2006 13:02

SG - can you help me - my email internet options doesn't list my 'favourite' how do I get it to select my own email?

TIA Smile

spacedonkey · 21/04/2006 12:59

That's right StG, and it will work for the majority of people. I think it's a good idea, and well done to JJ for doing it. It wouldn't be hard to replace the clunky text with a small icon, so hopefully she could do that when she has time?

I've just checked that - it does go to the default email, so just change in Internet Options to your preferred programme.
