YCCMB Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Suddenly, I'm on a completely different forum!! What happened? And don't tell me you haven't noticed! Who is messing with my head??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The forum has been re-launched with the Living France, France and French Property News websites under the umbrella Complete France website and domain. The forum will be part of this new website so the URL will change although all old URLs will point to the new location. It will also mean that although the software isnt changing the forum will be able to be viewed and used on the CompleteFrance mobile site. Logins etc will remain the same and will stay independent to the main site login. Looks like there are some teething problems to me...anyone else having problems ?

Araucaria Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Took me a while to get to the forum - had to click through the rest of the website. But maybe that's the idea?Also my saved login and password had gone AWOL.And the initial (old) URL location was an error message which after about 20 seconds automatically redirected to the new Complete France site. Teething problems I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Why does it have a vast area of white space at the top of the page, so I have to scroll right down before I can see or do anything? I keeps jerking about up and down the screen.My old bookmark took me straight into the active posts section, that no longer works and as mentioned above we now have to go in via the site home page, community page and login screen before I get anywhere near the bit I'm interested in. But maybe that's the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have the same problem as Will but there is no compatibility button showing....[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Rabbie - just before I saw that I tried it in IE, and the white space problem didn't occur. But it wouldn't let me post a reply. I had the IE compatibility add-on in Firefox, which was necessary in order to get a properly-sized posting box and working hyperlinks. I have now disabled this and it works better, but I am still having to log in every time I want to do anything. There seems to be a caching issue, because I have to constantly refresh the index page to see if there have been any replies or new posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 This is the 3rd time I've typed this reply, grrrWhat I was going to say has now been said (I'm not loving it either)New shortcut to active posts http://services.completefrance.com/forums/completefrance/cs/forums/TopicsActive.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm looking at the same page on Firefox and IE9 and they both look the same.No large white area, no scrolling needed.No problem posting either.I expect the teething problems will become apparent as we use it...

Russethouse Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 It looks fine in Firefox but I still get a largewhite patch in IE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 After having problems, finally found the forum. No warning here (or in the other place!) this morning that the forum was about to change! First post disappeared; trying a second. Don't like the clinical blue/white pages, don't like the acres of white space at the top. Firefox doesn't give me a torn page to try.

pachapapa Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 testIf I post in XP without the compatability activated I get no white section above but any post is not processed.If I activate the compatability button then I get large white space above the active thread but it does process the message.Maybe it works better with Vista.IE8 + XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Stick with it - there are teething problems, hopefully they'll get sorted out in the next few days [:)]My page doesn't fit in either browser widthways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickP Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Can we have our forum back please? Who ever designed this obviously has never looked at the old forum and will never look at the new one. In my opinion the graphics are appalling and the layout is cccrapppp. What's it all about, was this a joke exercise done by failed graphics and design students sitting their retakes? Yeah, I know I'm boring and can't keep pace with modern thinking, but I bet I'm not the only one who thinks this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Sam Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Please, get rid of the background image and utilise the whole page width.Second, in Safari the reply box resembles the size of the box in non-compatible mode of IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenman Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I use Firefox and have the vast useless area at the top.What a shame nobody "up there" had the courtesy to email members to warn of the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nectarine Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 please change the colours! The post title box is a darkish blue, with darker typeface. Not easy to read. Some of us are getting on a bit, you know ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 But (looking on the bright side) the search facility is finally working, hoorah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 For info, this is a screen grab, as seen via Firefox 11 (and it looks the same when using IE9):[IMG]http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/clair46/6e23de4e.png[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
