Dear @ll visitors,

As you may noticed, the portal website seashell-collector.com is always enhanced. Beside the several articles to be published soon, I am working on several projects, especially on live shells pictures to be accessible via species name instead of the actual way of displaying (I will keep this one also though).

I need your help to Improve the website and the forum too.
Any idea is welcome. if you notice any trouble or broken link also please let me know via this topic. if you have any idea about a new page or service, let us know too.

Some collectors asked me 2 years ago to host a shell auction.
I am thinking about it. It shall be free as all services on this website unleast I have to pay for the service of course. That's why I am looking for sponsors (4 at the moment) to be able to rent some more services by the future.

Concerning the forum, if you think that I shall add a new sub-forum, please let us know and explain reasons.

UPDATES TO COME :


= Online Auction Free
= Adding Worldwide Collector Database instead of Html pages
= Transforming the live shells page in a real database
= Live Chat Room Done ! (*)
= Shells Shows special page New Subforum page created
= Monthly Newsletter Done !

Very nice, interesting and usefull web site.
A shell auction would be interesting specially if free which would make the difference with the others. Also a page advertising the various international shell shows ( including dates, addresses, organizers contacts etc... )  would be usefull I reckon .

Oups... I just forgot to mention that a live chat would be great too.

Anyway, take it easy, all the best, Vincent

Hello Vincent,

(ça fait un bail depuis la bourse de Paris en 2000 je crois)
- Chat will be one of the priority is I can find a Free one
=> The main problem is that it will be difficult to gather many peoples at the same time I tryed one several years ago but it was difficult though.
- Shell Auction will be done and free in the future, the problem is that I need to pay someone to make the stuff And for the moment it is not my financial priority If I can get more sponsors maybe it will be done faster
- Concerning Shell Shows, I have no time to gather the informations, but I can make a page and update when visitors anounce me the shows... I had one before but nobody never send me informations...

Thanks for your comments, hope more will come

ps: alors koi de 9 sur le Cailloux ? J'y ai fait deux séjours
quand j'étais à Tahiti, trop fort la richesse en coquillages !!
Que de souvenirs, on a failli s'installer là-bas mais j'ai un peu peur des dates d'auto-détermination car je suis sur une optique d'acheter une Pharmacie et bon faut pas que je me rate Actuellement on est en Métropole dans le Var.

Hi,
I tried to use the link on this page to get to the live chat.It comes up but then flashes a message en francais that I think means that the site doesn't exist or isn't functioning. Two years of high school French forty years ago doesn't seem to be much help in translating what ever it says.lol

Hello,

Effectively It seems not to work anymore...
I'll try to fix that !
