Le 47 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hello to allI have helped to set up a forum for local matters in the Lot et Garonne, Dordogne & Gironde area. I hope you will have a look and perhaps contribute to help develop this local resource for discussion, chat, local venues , classified ads and what not.Like any new forum it can only grow if you give it a chance. Please give it a try on the link in my signature.Thanks to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryansmith Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi BIlltried to access your site via the blue link in your message. The green 'indicator' bar at the bottom of the screen took several minutes to get to half way and then stopped completely. Will try again later to see if the problem is my end or yours[*-)]Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le 47 Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi BryanThanks for the information.I have tested the links on the post and they seem to be slow. For me, the link in the body of the text seemed slower so I lremoved that one left the link in the signature.I will monitor the situation and if it proves necessary seek help from my web host.

chessie Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well done - excellent. I have felt for some time that the geographical area covered under'south west France' by Living France is quite large - but then so isFrance !!However, the information on 'south west France' is really excellentover a very wide range of subjects and I have found the site to beimmensely helpful; particularly so when the birds are migratingnorth/south - early warning signs from other 'birders' is muchappreciated and shows how useful a site covering such a large area canbe.But - having recently moved from the UK I am missing -Car Boot SalesAuctions - of any typeFlea MarketsYes - I'll admit it - I'm a magpie !!! Having 'down-sized' and 'clearedeverything out' - I'm starting again - much to poor other half's greatdismay....I have found that, unless one is close to a fairly large town it isvery, very easy to miss any 'special' event that might be taking place.I'm sorry 'Living France' - this isn't a criticism - but this othersite has put up a list of markets, not all of which we knew about, anddetails of flower festivals and flea markets - yippee, yippee,yippee......!!!!!!!!

Le 47 Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hi ChessieI have tried logging on a few times myself during the course of the evening and sometimes it didn't work. For some reason the site was not responding. I will check with the web hosts to see if the server was down at all.The 'full' website for the area which will include the forum is under construction and I hope to go live soon. Any suggestions or contributions are welcome. Can I say I fully intend to stay with Complete France as it is in my view 'the forum'. A local forum can successfully deal with local matters on a scale that is not IMHO really suitable for a site that emabraces the whole country.

WJT Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 It is not available for me either, I have broadband so that shouldn't be the problem. Hope you can get the problem sorted. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inca Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Just clicked on your url, instant connection via my (uk)Broadband.Good luck with this Forum.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggimeggi Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Sorry, but I also cannot get into the site. Have had "site not responding" , and, in French, "you are not authorised to access this site" plus several timeouts just waiting. Have broadband but only 512.Will try to remember to try it in a day or two.Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lecasse Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Most odd, sometimes it comes up as quick as anything and sometimes I get a 'no go' message! Wish you the very best - we have had a holiday/ part time retirement home near Castillonnes for the past eight years. Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I can access the site but it's very slow to do so - on broadband so that shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bradford Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hi, Just accessed it immediately using your link. I do have broadband though. I haven't had time to check it out completely, but it looks like it will be useful. Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le 47 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi everyone. The Aquitaine People & Property forum has been relaunched with a new name, "In Aquitaine", new software and most importantly a new web host which so far has served us well.The experience of a terrible web host is one we hope to never repeat - the service and problems were incredible. In the end we have given up trying to transfer the old database and just started afresh. Sorry for the lost postings to all concerned but it seemed the only way to cut the Gordian knot.Please join in and make this local forum a success.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llantony Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 There's one for Quercy on French Vie - sorry don't have the address at the moment - which is nice as more local than the SW France one, but it'srather quiet. A sleepy area I suppose.Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
