Accessing this network

Good morning ladies

If, like me, you normally use your system's 'Internet Explorer' to access this website you will be seeing lots of white space and are not able to send messages.  BCNA are looking into this issue.

If you log in to Google Chrome, then search for BCNA, you will find that the big white spaces have gone so the site is much easier to read.

You will also be able to send the messages through to other members.

I hope this information helps ladies using what they call 'old' technology !

You will also be able to upload photos as you can see below .....

Have a happy day.

Summer  :-)

    Hi Jessica

    I AM NOT A BCNA STAFF MEMBER !

    Please contact them via the phone re your problems so they can give you an answer.

    If the bit you want is covered by the other stuff, make sure your cursor is away from the area.

    I have fiddled around and found some things work but I have found Google Chrome is the best, even though BCNA told me to try Firefox.

    When you reply, it seems nothing happens BUT if you scroll further down there is a box waiting for your reply.

    Hope this helps.

    Summer   :-)

    Hi, I am using Firefox and am having a lot of trouble. The dropdown menu covers up the online menu. and the dancing flash visuals over the same area also block out the online menu. People's replies to posts cannot be opened because the link does not work. I really hope that our blogs are still in existence and will reappear. I suspect the developers had no idea what this online community is, or how it works, and are trying to modify the initial structure with patches on patches on patches. Perhaps they should have talked to some of the users of the community first to find out how it works, which is what systems analysts and good website developers usually do. Unfortunately people who are not users of a particular part of a system tend to think they can inform developers, when really they often do not know. I am sure several of us would be very happy to talk to them now and answer questions the developers may have and that might be very productive at this point.

    Hi again Summer!  Just sent a "reply" to your message about the instruction sheet, asking how I can PM you with my email address.?..but it doesn't show up as going through. This is not an easy system to navigate.  You are doing brilliantly, uploading photos, etc.

    Hi Robyn If you are logged in, click on the word 'messages' on the bar near your name - your private messages will appear. If you click on the writing of one it will change to pink and you can then answer that person. If you send me a private email address I can email you a copy of the system instructions which I have put onto a Word document. I can't put it on here as it will take up tooooo much space ! Hi Mona and Michelle - I cannot get the system to recognize your names to send this to you as a private message so you can find it but you can send me one and I will answer you. Summer :-)
