Did anyone else notice that the "Add" button now works? It gives you a box to add a message.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Have just tried it and you are right - it does now work although it seems a bit pointless to me as all it does is duplicate what the reply button does.

I have noticed some comments on this on other boards (think if was on General) yesterday. The font is also much larger. More GR tinkering! Cx.

Here we go! (I also meant that the font in the Add box is much larger - the other font has gone smaller).

I pointed it out a couple of days ago, it can be better as if you are replying to one particular post you have the info there right in front of you without having to scroll back for the details.

I wonder if anyone has contacted GR about the change of the font size on the boards. The changes seemed to happen after they had fixed the bookmarks not working.

I must admit I quite like the Add Button (am using it now) and so I have above me the message I am replying to from Christine in Portugal.

The add button never really worked, so good to hear that.

I suppose it does make sense now as originally the ADD button would take you to the top of the thread where the REPLY button was.
BUT it wasn't quite clear that you were expected to use the REPLY button when you were at the top of the thread to ADD to it......

Every little helps !!

Fantastic. Using my set up (Firefox) the Add button did precisely diddly squat for me but now it does. Hooray!
