So Frustrating!

Upper Hutt: Wider Community Connectivity

Haven't heard back from HQ re ability to message and interact with ALL UH Neigbourhoods yet.
The recent press article re the new use of the former Westpac Bank site reminded me.

Haven't heard back from HQ re ability to message and interact with ALL UH Neigbourhoods yet.
The recent press article re the new use of the former Westpac Bank site reminded me.
Scenario: I posed a question re the early use of this building.
A NEIGHBOUR from Silverstream responded. Simply because it was a 'Public Post' created by those who own Neighbourly. I was grateful for his reply and wished to Thank him personally and add a personal comment or two.
I am unable to do this as I can't PM him. (Haven't gone as far as referring to a phone book yet!!!)
Hence .... if you are also finding it inhibitive by not being able to message beyond you immediate neighbourhood ... let me know via this message so I can collate data for HQ.
Keep warm and safe,
