Thank You Expat Blog!!

Thank you very much for your support veechansa, the Expat.com team and I really appreciate

I'll make you a confidence ... the Expat.com design will change very soon ... stay tuned !

I was gonna say something nice until:

am I just slow or do others, too, get lost and frustrated whenever a site gets redesigned?

A learning curve that's totally uncalled for.


Edit: I'm liking the 'new' interface. Definitely an improvement.

Moel I do know what you mean. MSN recently changed it's interface and I'm currently lost. Will need some time to learn the ropes. However, we should wait to see the Expat.com's new interface first. It might be for the better!

No big changes, just a few optimizations & new colours

Thanks Vee,
Now get off this 'platform' and come meet us all for a drink
LOL!

BTW Julien, since you are revamping the interface, could you also consider to add a "like" function similar to the one on facebook? Would be pretty cool! Cheers!

you mean the facebook like button or our own button ?

People sometimes want to dislike things. not just like them.

edit.

I mean our very own Expat.com "Like" (and perhaps, considering Moel's comments, a "Dislike" button as well!).

Something for you to consider!

To be more specific, I simply mean a "like" button (or even a "dislike" button too!) that people can press when they like someone's comments in particular. That's all.

Forum could do with a decent 'search' function, that filters all previous forum topics/content. Currently the search box returns results for all forums - and not the country alone, as far as i can tell.

e.g. search 'dentist' and i get results for Cancun, Budapest, etc (would love to go but not with a tooth ache lol)

This would improve the user experience greatly, and reduce repeated questions/answers   

hope this helps

Whereas entering "Libya, Dentist" into the search box brings up a thread on dentists in Libya as the top choice....

Try calling the wimax hotline number as on your CELA.C.M setup disk. You will get a Dr. Sameer, a dentist. Wonder how many wimax users he got calling in asking about a different service. (Or could be my setup disc wasn't an updated version).

P.S: he even quoted for Veneers!
