Lay My Hat

Hello I received an email allegedly from an official French body RE: Rappel pour [name] l'affichage obligatoire 2017 ... I haven't opened it, just seen the title and sender and was suspicious - a quick search on the internet revealed it is a scam email that's been doing the rounds for some years - l...

Thanks Cassis - yes, only 4 listed in my department of the Charente too. What have I got to lose really with a freebie? Maybe it'll take off with firms and individuals who have to work away from home .... fingers crossed eh!

Hello One of "those" emails came in with details of yet another rental listing site: http://www.gites-professionnels.com/ I normally just ignore them and often find after one or two searches that it is a scam. Nothing coming up on LMH (a good start) nor other scam / arnaque sites. Not over...

Well Kerri is at it again - I just received a call offfering a quarter page feature for two weeks, plus 12 months on their website for an enticing £130 (instead of the usual £595)! Not enticing enough - at least if I set fire to my money it would briefly give me warmth and light - not sure handing m...

Thank you oasiscouple for your reply - helps me feel that perhaps my antenna is still working without being completely paranoid! The email address you have given with the edwardhunt111 is exactly the same as I received - sorry I over-simplified my representation in the subject heading by only puttin...

Hello Really unsure about this one as it doesn't have the main alarm bell ringers - main reasons for concern are: - 2 week family holiday when weather won't be that great (we're very rural) - Time it was written (4am) - can't pin down email domain - no sign off other than merci - Anglo sounding name...

Hello As part of another post re OD listings not rotating it transpired that I and tavi had noticed a change to the OD layout which meant that photos weren't displaying properly (squashed, stretched, bottom half missing ...). My listing has returned to its old format so no problem at the moment, but...

Thanks Tavi.

Also - On the matter of the seemingly "temporary" change to the format of OD I've also had a response so will post a new topic as they say it's being piloted and they want feedback

... wonder if this is a lead towards the commission based book now site ...

Well whatever role each party plays - customer, supplier, distributor - I would prefer to carry on dealing direct with the holiday maker and paying a fixed fee. It makes it simple for me to try to keep my cost base tighly controlled. I also like the pre, during and post stay relationship with the gu...

We've still not moved and OD have come back to say that it is a known fault on some properties and that it is with their Tech Support people. Here's what they said: "I have spoken to the Technical Support team and have been informed that this is now a known fault and affecting a number of prope...

Good to hear you've not stalled - we've still not moved and no word from OD so far today. Seems like it's a problem on our area page.

Also no word so far about the apparently temporary format change that didn't display photos properly.

TTFN

Pleased you're moving again Villarais. We're still rooted to the same place, but hope something will happen tomorrow (Mon) to get us moving again.

Ah tavi, not all bad then eh! I just replied to OD about the format change to let them know it seems to just have been for a day - but putting them on notice that there might be some work to do to the upgrade/new release if they want to avoid a backlash of advertisers all tasked with re-doing/re-sub...

Yes, we are in the same position again as are the rest of the properties on our location page. I replied to OD last night to tell them exacly how I was doing the search so they could recreate it - no further word as yet. Yes Tavi, we noticed the format of the OD pages changed drastically for a day -...

Ah well, at least it looks like it's not affecting every property then. OD responded quickly and are looking into it - will post more when have more.
