There is a hostess at each one... if you let us know which one you're going to we will inform the hostess so she knows and she'll make sure you're altogether. All you have to do is introduce yourself to her...the cafes all know where the group is as well so you can always ask a waiter, they usually have flags on the table or a pop up banner with our logo on. There are between 10 and 30 people at each one so it's not easy to get lost. There's tons of info about the coffee mornings and how to make friends in Dubai here http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_discover_dubai_How_To_Make_Friends_In_Dubai_10421.aspx HTH

Hi All, Why don't you pick one of our hosted coffee mornings to meet up at and take it from there? It's not allowed to arrange meet ups on the forum unfortunately. We've got 10 a week all round town and they will continue over the summer. Great, safe place to meet members from the forum and to make new friends. All the details can be found here on the Coffee Mornings page http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_events_whats_on.aspx#CoffeeMorning Warm regards, EW Admin <em>edited by admin on 29/04/2014</em>

Hi All, Thanks for the feedback as usual :) Yes next things to be tackled are smileys and avatars... watch this space! One user has also mentioned having oldest posts first.... we currently have newest post first in a thread- it always seems to be split what people prefer... we'll look into it again for you. The kudos stars are based on how many "thumbs up" your posts get over time... so you'll start earning stars soon. The ranking is based on how many posts you've made. Thanks for the support and sorry for any slight blips! EW Admin edited by admin on 27/03/2014 <em>edited by admin on 27/03/2014</em>

Dear All, Thanks for the feedback. The emailers are normally 3 a week (4 if it's a particularly busy period) and membership of the forum is linked to receiving these emails. We do understand but some companies send 2- 4 a day- so we do try to limit the number sent to an acceptable level. We send lots of different mails about lots of different things over the year. Obviously you personally may not be interested in all the topics of all the emails. It is your choice whether you open them or not... totally understand that some of you may not be interested in schools but maybe you have a friend who needs some information, or maybe you need to know for work etc etc. Thanks for your feedback, Warm regards, EW Admin

Hi All, Thank you for your concern- we do appreciate it! If you do notice blatant advertising you can email [email protected] but it is usually picked up by the moderators. Please be careful though as some new posters do, as a first post, write about something they have found and want to share the good news. The moderators also judge this and monitor. Imagine for a moment, if you're a new member and have been plucking up the courage to finally post something and the first response you get from people is quite negative? That's not the atmosphere any of us want on the forum. Spamming/ Flooding adverts usually happen quite quickly with say 10 posts in 5 minutes and they are picked up during the next moderation sweep and are cleared out then. Warm regards, EW Admin <em>edited by admin on 19/03/2014</em>

Hi All, Thank you very much for your feedback. As you know, we do strive to maintain the right tone on here- and it is an information board not a chat board- but it is easy for the written word to be interpreted one, two or ten ways. There is a massive mix of nationalities on the forum so misunderstandings can occur- what one person may think is a completely normal comment- another person may take great offense at. This forum has helped literally hundreds of thousands of women over the years and is an invaluable resource on all topics about expat life in the UAE and beyond. There is also heaps of information in the FAQ section that is massively helpful to newbies and residents alike. There will always unfortunately be "trolls" on the internet, people trying to cause trouble or people simply with differing but strong opinions and it is easy to focus on minority negative posts than all the positive assistance, advice and support that is happening. The best advice to follow is... ignore the "trolls", try and focus on the positive, give a post the benefit of the doubt if it can be interpreted a few different ways, don't enter into arguments, and remember that we will delete anything, at any time for anyone... you can email [email protected] It's all explained in the rules and guidelines of the forum which can be found here http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_faqs_forum_rules_8392.aspx Thanks for the feedback once again and have a great day! Warm regards EW Admin
