Visibility of public posts and comments

Legacy Process 

Our updated Legacy Process explains how members of the Online Network can record their wishes for what happens to their account after death—either to have it memorialised or deleted. It outlines the steps for submitting written consent via email and explains the important role of a family member or legal representative in confirming the death and enabling those wishes to be carried out. For any questions, members or family can call us on 1800 500 258.

    While accepting this may take time, first impressions aren’t great. Information soon on what’s happened to our PM list would be appreciated. I am never clear who these changes are meant to assist!

      Some (hopefully ALL) Private Groups have moved across now Cath62  .... tho clicking on the 'group list' still shows most as having '0 Posts'!  Weird.

      Private Groups should be showing Cath62  .... just our old Private Messages that aren't .... OOOOPS .... looks like a lot of the private group 'posts' may not have made it across either!  :(  They are showing '0 posts'.

    Yesterday was hopeless,  received 3 OTP that the system wouldn't accept

    Started afresh today and was able to sign in! 

    Disappointed that the Private Messages didn't transfer however reading a comment above gives a glimmer of hope!

    Haven't navigated any further,  will do so over the weekend once I have finished my project

    Take care everyone

    May2024& terrianne 
    The team is aware the Private Messages haven't moved across and are working on restoring them .... and are also aware that some browsers may not be working well with the changeover.

    Are you on a Mac, Terrianne? Have you tried Chrome or Safari? (I am using Chrome & got in fine.)  I used to use Firefox some years ago but had other issues with it so swapped to Chrome.  :( 

    Some are having difficulties with logging in with their smartphones too ... maybe keep trying over the weekend - and make contact with the Helpline on Monday morning if still not able to log in.

    Also, some weird 'helpline' phone numbers are appearing randomly - the correct one is 1800 500 258 .... 
    Take care

    Hi everyone, my inbox has no messages - I had quite a few before the update. Does anyone know if there's a way to get the messages back? Thanks!

    Teething problem #1 for me (and it's a big one): I use Firefox, and the site will not allow me to log in on that browser.  I put my email address in, and a few moments later, I get a message saying "Error: Invalid reCAPTCHA" (see below).

    Even when I disable all my ad blockers, I still get the same reaction. It seems to be something inherent to Firefox, which is a pretty privacy-focused browser.
