Nextdoor Forum

[jennyjoan]

I am in the above Nextdoor forum and can read all the posts but I don't know how to post a question myself.

Have gone into POST and MESSAGES but nothing happens. I then decided to re-register but it is saying I am a member.

Can anybody tell me either how to post or get through to somebody who does know - thanks

I don't know anything about it but is this any help?

[jennyjoan]

thanks Jno but when I went into that - it led me to screeds of other paperwork - I do think it should be easier than that to type a message.

ah, sorry, hopefully another user will come along to explain

Click on 'Post a message, event, poll or urgent alert'.

Click on 'Message'.

Choose a category. (e.g. 'For sale and Free', 'Lost and found' or 'General').

Click on 'Choose neighbours'. Select either your local area only or include neighbouring areas as well. (If you choose the latter, you'll be invited to select which areas you want to include).

Fill in the 'Subject' field and then the 'Message' one. Click 'Post'.

The above is a summary of what I've just learned from this video:

In JNO's link it shows,

That link shows
Open the Nextdoor for iPhone app.

Tap + at the top right the screen.

Type a message and add optional attachments to your post: Photos or videos, a location for your post, an item to sell or give away in For Sale, a poll to survey your neighbors, or a safety report of a crime or something suspicious

Select who the post is visible to from the left of 'Post.' Post.

So that's the same as CHRIS has given, it's not screeds.

If you go in via website, tap the hamburger in the top left corner.
A drop down menu appears and at the bottom of that list is a green tab button with a + sign. A new screen opens. Type your message, when done click the green post button on the right. Bob's your uncle.

I am a member of my local Nextdoor group. On my PC, I click on the 'Home' icon in the left hand column and at the top of the page in the main body there is a 'post' box with my icon next to it. It says, 'what's happening nearby, neighbour?' and that is where I type.

If I want to post an item for sale or free, I click on that category in the left hand panel then click the green 'post a listing' button

Neighbourhood gossip for the masses?

[barry1010]

10C, my group is a great source of information with contributions from the local police, council, newspapers.
I've had a lot of help from people I had never met - before lockdown I was in a real jam and needed a hand lifting a very heavy item and getting it upstairs. Three chaps came that day and got it sorted, no charge.
Also warnings about scammers going door to door, rogue tradesmen. Road closures, events, council meetings, planning applications, petitions for and against...

Sadly no juicy gossip about the neighbours - yet - although there is an invitation to the local swingers' club.

haven't looked at your info but for your info 10Clarion Street - only for the information I received from Red Helen here - my next street neighbour's cat who had been missing for well over a week turned up. He was 13 years old and a beloved cat. So that is how it helps. She (Helen) had told me to leave a favourite blanket on the washing line and its litter box outside the door and sure enough there he was.

That's wonderful news jj...she must be so relieved.

[jennyjoan]

Hi Pasta - I didn't know the lady but she wandered night and day into my street for well over a week rattling like a little food - she was beside herself so of course I asked her what was wrong. She had tried every where etc and so on the advice of RH - within one night only the said neighbour was closing her gate about 2am and there the little cat was. One happy neighbour. I had asked said lady to phone me and let me know and that was a nice outcome.

[pastafreak]

I understand completely how worried she must have been...I'd do the same. I'm so glad mine is an indoor cat.
