Monsieurmousseux Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I just updated on VF, and was about to read up the postings on their message board, when I realised that the link to click through is no longer there. The forum is still there if you enter the URL, or click through from another link, but unless I'm losing my marbles more rapidly than I thought, VF doesn't want to play any more.

Quillan Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Got to many comlaints and people not accepting his excusses or him not actually answering questions properly.By the way I got a booking last week, the first one this year through them. Don't think I shall bother to re-register next year.Things were fine till they changed the website in Jan, don't know what they did but there you go. Same thing with French Connections, changed website, no bookings, well a few but no where near the last two years levels. All the other websites are working fine and am getting loads of bookings so it can't be me being paranoid (can it?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 It's easy enough use one of the better 'crawler' search engines (dogpile or route66) and do a search on the exact name of the establishment, all is revealed. Books of course are a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesbatees Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Just tried to update our ad on VisitFrance, and I can't. Got "unable to access server" message. It seems it is not just the message board that is a dead duck.I am not a happy bunny, and, as all those letters to Private Eye used to say, "I shall not be renewing my subscription."Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Well I never got a reply and to be honest with now 2 reservations from them for this year I have not even got my money back. I really am getting fed up with them, not only to you have to fiffaf around on their site every day to improve your chances of getting clients and they don't even now come up in the first 5 pages of any search engine which they did before but it would appear that communicatinging with them has become a problem as well. So to be honest I won't renew (unless things change) and I feel I cannot really endorse this site to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Well I wonder if he reads this forum as I had a reply tonight (I check by post 5 or 6 time a day)"The address was temporarily unavailable while we changed some server settings."So now we know, or do we.

Monsieurmousseux Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 I updated successfuly just after Quillan's 12:54 post, so they were not offline for long, it would seem.I tried to post at the time, but I didn't succeed for some reason I can't remember. (That happens a lot these days ... Me not remembering things, I mean ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
