Jane,
I understand that HR has had a lot of feedback, and it is mostly negative. None of the advertisers I have spoken to is happy about it.

meishka,
I don't think that can possibly be true.
If it were true, we'd all be on a sinking ship.

Yes, it is a mess to look at - it's not clear where to go. Left, right, down, up - the eye has to do a lot of work & that isn't user-friendly. Apparently it was done for the search engines. The good news is that the jumbled text that I referred to yesterday is a glitch which has only affected mu...

Except, John, that there won't be anyone left in the north to pay for a holiday in Malta.

Enid: " isn't global warming supposed to make temps rise not fall?" No! Or at any rate (the rate that counts), not in the long term. Don't forget the gulf stream. This is the scenario judged most likely by a number of environmentalists (please don't ask how many): If the temperature rises ...

I took a deep breath & went back to hr to check on our other units.
Ross, it's even worse than I thought: I found another crazy piece of text on the web site which I want to erase but when I log on I find that this text isn't in the home-owner's section ..... which means that I can't erase it!

It's also cheaper to pay a cleaner on a Saturday - you have to pay about double rates in France on a Sunday.

Nobody has commented on HR's new format. Does anyone like it? My reading of it is that the new directors have thrown out the format that Marcelle & her team spent 8 years perfecting & substituted something that dispenses with the most elementary rule for web sites: simplicity. The new web pa...

Paolo,
That (bigdomains) is one of the most pleasant sites I've seen. The smalldomains site isn't great but they're both interesting.

At least one property on HR gives the owner's eban details in full - several times. This is pointless, of course, but does show how different various people's attitudes to security can be.

"between you you have already clocked up 7 posts" This is amazing - can we keep up with this? Missbev & Robster, are you owners of the same property in Torrequebrada?? Enid, maybe it's just a coincidence that they both posted at the same time and have properties in the same place. They...
