Hello admin.
Are you aware forum message subscrition link attach to "new reply" message is not working. User is send to "homepage" and not to corresponding forum post.

I guess the "view post" still point to the ild url domain. I wonder how much the new domain cost.

A 1995 domain, congrats julien.
http://whois.domaintools.com/expat.com

The biggest issue is that I receive emails with links and that links cannot be opened because the pages are changed.
So find a way to connect again the old with new, so I can find the discussions I saved because interesting.

Congratulation for the new name. I thank you for all ur hardworks in order to bring easier life for the expat. Really appreciate it. Best regard, Tim.

Great! Congratulation! You guys did a great job

I wonder if my comments are published?

Thank you,new post about Expat.com

Hi Julien. Nice fresh clean look. Just had a bit of look around and noticed a few issues. In the country by country forum on the topic listing pages the header is way too deep and takes up a massive amount of the screen even on a large pc.

Clicking "Forum" continually takes you back to the last country visited.

Does not seem possible to edit personal details.

Hi Julien,
I'm pretty much of a "Trog," and don't like complicated online presence, but your new site is great for me!  BTW - I LOVE that we have a short time to edit our comments.  Sometimes I read with horror what I've submitted and really appreciate being able to change my post.  Thanks for all you do and good luck!

Hey i suggest the website need an application on ios and android

great change sounds proffessional

Congrats to you and your team of the launch of this new site..

Unfortunately I missed the D day because I had connection problems but I am really excited that after many months waiting finally the new site is in the air.  And I am very proud that I had a very tiny small part in the developing process.

Give me a couple of days to get used to this site and I will be on full strength again!

Hi,

Thank you for your comments

The website has a responsive design: you can easily access it on mobile and tablets.

Thanks,

Just my 2 cents on the changes.

There seem to be too much white spaces. Takes up lots of desktop real estate. Can the fonts be smaller and paragraphs compressed a little?

Thanks a lot for the handwork of the team to develop the new website, its amazing and so far nothing wrong noticed.

this makes it a real fun to be a member

try to make fonts and paragraphs smaller in your browser maybe this will help,

in most browsers (Ctrl & + or -)  will do the job

Hi, New messages are not in my mail box ???

On each forum index we used to see who the last poster was in each thread, but that is no longer visible, so we can't see if the last post was our own post.

This new forum isn't easy to get used to after the old one, even after a few days using it.

I keep finding I end up at the first post in a thread too often when I want to be at the end.

Getting back to the index is also not easy. Nothing to click on anymore..

example: Looking at one post, in the Philippines Forum (https://www.expat.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=201) the top breadcrumbs bar is:
All forums  Philippines  Manila  Forum  Work

All forums  leads to https://www.expat.com/forum/
Philippines  leads to https://www.expat.com/en/destination/asia/philippines/
Manila  leads to https://www.expat.com/en/destination/as … es/manila/
Forum  leads to https://www.expat.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=590
Work leads to https://www.expat.com/forum/590-5-work-in-manila.html

Nothing leads back to https://www.expat.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=201

yeah a preview of the replied post whilst replying would be useful. I find myself having to go back and finding the index can be rather annoying also.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedbacks.
All your remarks and suggestions will be recorded so that we can work on them and improve the website.

The process is the same as on expat-blog. While replying, should you want to go back to the post, you can click on "Back to topic".


For any questions not related to the new website, I invite you to create a new thread.

Thanks and have a nice day,

I think ABCDiamond has explained it better than I did. Lets say for example, I have replied to a particular post in a thread without the use of Quotes. Whilst responding, often we may need to refer back to the post. Clicking on Back to post will take you to the start of the thread. Finding the actual post within the thread can be annoying depending on the thread's length. The suggestion is to put a preview of the thread possible above the reply box for easy reference. I guess one can also use the quick reply right?

I understand that you guys have built your platform from the ground up and takes lots of time to implement another module.

When I write a reply, such as this, on a pc, I only need to scroll up slightly if I want to refer back to a recent comment. I just use the mouse scroll wheel.
