Yes I enjoyed them too, perhaps other photographers will come forward, it’s quite a new forum at the moment.

Just to say that I do miss Oldblueraincoat and his photos of doors, cafes etc - such a shame he's not joined us on this forum Maybe he can't stomach all the popups. There are quite a few people from the old nff that have chosen the other replacement forum. Same format. No popups.

I don't have any on either my laptop or my tablet ? Edit : There is a blue box that slides up, very slightly, from the bottom occasionally saying 'can we talk' but no what I would call pop-ups.

Me neither; there are two boxes at the bottom that I haven’t noticed moving, usually an ad for proboards or a smile on the other, but at the moment it’s ‘please practice social distancing (by visiting us more often)’; messages change regularly. There’s a narrow band at the top about badges at the moment, which also doesn’t move.
I can happily keep such well-behaved messages but wouldn't be with pop-uos. I’m using my ipad - does it depend on what is being used?

I have no problem with pop-ups either. An ad box at the top of the page and 2 at the bottom but these don’t get in the way of anything. Am on an Ipad too.

There are quite a few people from the old nff that have chosen the other replacement forum. Same format. No popups. If you look closely on the other forum....there is a very big huge pop up in a thread with someone trying to use a forum to sell houses again. There are no pop ups on this forum. The ads here though are quite good to be fair and targeted. I have sale coming up at my local brico store. I would not have known that otherwise.

It's a photo in a thread about a property they're buying. They don't need a forum to sell their properties.

Forums were my biggest source of income. I could write something on a forum, and then 10 mins later paypal receipts would flow in. Over the years that I have been on French Forums, I keep seeing the same threads about houses.

About the two new other forums: I joined both. What I like about FIF is the quality of the photos and the fact that the letter font is very easy to read on my smartphone, TOFF text is very tiny on my Android device. To give it a try with a linked photo a birds eye view of the village Sancerre:

Oi, that was a piece of slanderous malice.You owe me an apology and at least a mouthwash with carbolic. I did not even think that FFS had stopped posting. I was thinking of a chap I know who used to call himself Chancer but also on here was I think emmerdeur, demerdeur or some such. I know his real name as we have met but not whether he has chosen another on here. In fact, how do I report a post to management, you deserve it you sad sod?

Photo size, two forums compared: on my 14-inch laptop display (1600 x 1900, Windows 10, Chrome) the horizontal dimensions of this Sancerre picture are: TOFF = 19.3 cm and FiF: 22 cm. Quality the same, only a 13% difference in size. Not relevant for the smartphone users, for the laptop brigade and some photo affinados it matters IMO. And I took note of the possibility to click to enlarge, it helps of course.
