Beryl Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 La Lettre RecommandéeYou can either have a receipt posted back to you 'avis reception' which costs more or 'sans avis reception'.I usually opt for the receipt for my own peace of mind, unless I'm sending it to the UK as I have never yet had a receipt back from there.

Jc Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I regularly receive them in the UK but the post office in the UK does not appear to know what to do with them;you need to remove the form,fill it in and return it to the postman or sorting office(no stamp needed) and it also depends on the sender filling in his details correctly.

Cassis Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 A recorded delivery letter with avis reception costs 4 euros 50 cents (ish). You take your letter or whatever into the post office, tell them you want it sent lettre recommandée (either 'avec' or 'sans' avis de réception) and they'll give you a triplicate slip to fill out (or they may fill it out for you) with the address you're sending to and your address. This gets stuck on the letter or package and you get one copy.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pads Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 hellocan you tell me how you put your picture on by your name? I have tried where it says avatar(what dose that mean?) but its not working ,cant speak french dont know how to use a chat site god i feel a failure tonight.................................Pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Click on your name at the top of the page where it says 'Edit your details'. Scroll down to the avatar section then either browse to upload an image from your computer files, or enter a URL in the appropriate box if you want to load a picture from somewhere on the Internet. Easiest way to do the latter is to right click on the image on the Internet, click 'copy image location' and then paste that into the avatar URL address box. Tha hard bit is choosing an image to use that doesn't make you look silly.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Why did my last message appear twice when I only posted once? I've edited it now. By the way, Avatar, various definitions:1. The incarnation of a deity - from Hindu religion.From that:2. The embodiment of a quality.3. A temporary manifestation of something.4. A computer generated representation of a person in Internet communications.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks PhilYes that is what I thought i had to do and I get as far as getting the picture on but when i update it I get page not available sign, so I guess its just a case of patience and keep trying. I think you will agree when(if )you see my picture I have thought long and hard so as not to look silly, but it dosnt do me as much justice as yours ..........

Cassis Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I can see there's something trying to emerge under your name but it's struggling to show it's face. It's not a big file, is it? The site's so slow a the minute that it might find a big avatar indigestible. It's best to reduce the file size as far as possible anyway.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I think that you will find that the file size has to be a max of 80Kb. It used to be that when I put my Fouga Magister on (that's the name of the aircraft that's my avitar. I own one, all be it a radio controlled glider with a 6 foot wing span [:D])John.
