Hi again
A general question from me!
I received in my inbox at home a message from Colin on this site. He wanted to know the name of the company we used to move down.
I was about to reply to him (presumably on his home email) but the link was dead.
Is this a security thing or is it to prevent the publication of names of companies?
If it is the latter I can understand to some extent but if there are good companies out there why cant we say so! (I can appreciate the potential legal issues if a site is used to openly rubbish someone!!).
Dont mean to be awkward, I just want to know so as not to get moderated!! (Happend to me first time I used the BBC food boards and took ages to get back on!!!!)

Peter, you could try emailing him though there's not generally a problem if you are recommending a business with which you have no connection. The problem only arises if you are posting something negative in case of legal action from the company that's being named and shamed.

Hi Peter,
To be able to help and advice you can you tell me how you received the message from Collin, was it a 'notification' email that you had a PM or was it via a personal email. If it was a PM you should be able to go to the home page of the forum and select the 'Private Messages' link at the near top of the page. You will then be able to find it and reply via the PM system.
If you are trying to reply to a notification (which will contain the contents of the PM) via email the email will be rejected because if you look at where you will be sending it in the 'To' box you will see you are trying to send an email to the automated system that sends PM (and other) notifications.
If, on the other hand, you have received an email with Colin's private/personal email address in the 'from' box then he has a problem with his email system if your response is rejected.
The moderators (and other forum members) cannot see the contents of private messages so we would not have moderated the one you received.
As we are a commercial site we can't allow 'naming and shaming' but it is quite acceptable for you to pass that sort of information by PM or email to another member if they ask. Likewise is somebody asks something like "Does anyone have a car for sale" and you do you should again use the PM or email system.
Hope that explains it for you and if you have any further questions please feel free to either PM a moderator or post in to the Forum Technical Support section.

Sometimes, if there is a long link, the link 'wrapes' round on the page in your email and the last bit seems to get split from the link so when you click on the link it does not work. Still anyway it's working for you now.

Hi there
We are probably going to use Hunts as they have been recommended to us
by 3 different people. Not had a quote yet though but again our contacts
tell us that they are very competitive. We are moving to the Lot et Garonne and
apparently they know this area very well. Give them a call. I did just
that and they seem to be very on the ball and they offer maritime insurance
which is something I don't think many of the others offer - ie. if the ferry
sinks, (God forbid) your goods are still insured!
Good luck and perhaps let me know how you get on.
Foxy
