The New French Forum

It's been said before, but it's worth repeating with a photographic example (showing what happened when I replied to a post): often when you are typing a reply to a topic, someone else is doing the same thing at the same time. If, in that case, you click Submit and then immediately go to, say, Active topics without checking that your post has been...

There was a vote and the vote to get rid of the option won.

Its a subject where I often ask questions, each time I look for what is the best section to post them in the absence of a dedicated one, if its by car like one today then I can put it in the motoring section but the one about the TGV for instance I had to put in the snug.

There are frequently questions about ferries, Eurotunnel, airlines, trains,...

For obvious reasons (well obvious to me) I suggest scrapping the two thread titles Book I am reading and What are you reading this week? and substituting What are you reading? . Having two similar titles for the same subject doesn’t make sense, especially the “this week” bit (how is that relevant?) and leads to confusion. I speak as one who...

Edit. To make this clear for crakpot, this thread is for the user with the name manonthemoon who was having problems logging in and couldn’t send a message via the contact us so was asked to try again sending a message which came through as I have explained below. No one else needs to pay the slightest bit of attention to this if their name is not...

As posted I have been having lots of problems using google chrome to log in, after I cleared cookies :?

The problems were

a- user name and password brought up another thing asking me to do a captcha. I kept answering the captcha but the answers I gave were not accepted

b- then it was telling me I had tried to log in too many times so try...

To the person that sent the message today saying they have forgotten their password, just click ‘I have forgotten my password” under the login and password boxes and you should get a message to the email address you gave when you joined for you to set a new password.

Prompted by a post from PatF on another topic, I thought it would be a good idea to re-post a topic about posting photos. Fortunately, Ally has already posted a guide elsewhere to doing it with photos from your own device.

It's possible to post images directly from any device directly to the forum without using a third party site such as Flikr...

As a new user my postings are rejected saying ‘Forum does not exist’

Having just (re)installed Thunderbird as my email client on my computer, I added my email account for here and discovered that I have over 11 000 email notifications of topic replies! Looking at my UCP/Board preferences/Notification options, even though email is not ticked for anything, I'm obviously getting email notifications as well as forum...

I thought that this may be the best place to put this rather than the snug.

I think a lot of it is context, in that context it was amusing and you did warn people.Please don’t take it down Stompie.

Also there was a suggestion from ATS that Stompie should not belatedly...

It was my decision to try it so the blame lies on my shoulders only.
I asked v12mike who kindly helped with my request to try it for a day without them (sorry mike :P ) who knew the consequences would be for almost the self destruction of this place, I sure as hell didn’t. All I can say is that is was for the best of intentions that it was tried...

Hi all is it possible to post a video from a device, where the video is on my device as opposed to being on a web site (posting the address etc.)?

Thank you.

You have a pm answering the message you sent via the contact us.

Recently every time I try to add an attachment I get a message showing “status with a filled yellow triangle. This is nothing to do with the “file too large” message. Anyone know what the problem might be? Thank you.

Hi all,

I’m wondering if anyone can give me any info on what it would be like for me to find a job/work as a plumber around the Haute-Savoie area.
Im not set on that area, just somewhere fairly close to the slopes.

What do most plumbers charge or what are employees paid? I keep hearing different things.

I’m currently running my own plumbing...

Is there any reason why we can't have a thumbs down smiley? You've got the thumbs up one there and I think his negative pal might be useful.

I've noticed today something odd about the time of posts. If I view say active topics while I'm not logged in the posts show up as an hour ahead of my current (UK) time. As expected as forum presumably on French time. But when I log in those same posts show up as an hour behind my current UK time. Maybe something to do with my tablet i don't know

Hi All so glad to find an up to date forum
I dont do Facebook so relieved to find you :)

Is there any way to show on some form of online map where we all are, how we're spread across Europe?

After reading a thread earlier,I started to wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to have a thumbs down button to go along with the thumbs up button.

I thought I'd sent a PM about an hour earlier, but when I checked a moment ago it's in my Outbox and I can't seem to get it out! I have sent PMs in the past without a problem and don't understand why this one won't go. I can't see any icon or anything in the outbox indicating a method of sending the critter. Is it just a glitch in the system...

For recent new members and those existing members without an avatar/user image who want to have one using one of their own images, here's how to go about it (I'll try to make it simple!)

First of all, the size of the image for the avatar needs to be a maximum of 120 pixels (px) wide and 120 px high and have a 'weight' of less than 12 KB. To...

I frequently make typos when typing a reply on here, but thankfully the spell checker has always highlighted them. Until very recently. Now if I make a mistake the red squiggly line isn't showing it up. Have I inadvertently altered a setting? If so, where do I switch the checker back on please?

I can't seem to see one in here.....would also be good to see a pet adoption section for dogs/puppies for sale thanks
