This may need to be placed elsewhere. A very real and serious problem is cropping up on the old site. “New” members are accessing current members PMs and posting scams that are fraudulent. I and many others received the “I’m a dying woman in West Africa” e-mail. I would seriously suggest a moratorium of 48 hours before any new member is allowed to post anything. If this type of behavior continues, the BS site will soon acquire a reputation as a garbage dump. No one who really cares about the services BurdaStyle provides, wants to see this happen. The regulations/standards have become woefully lax. This problem should have been foreseen and some form of restraint put in place at the beginning. I don’t want to have it follow us over here. I will provide a copy of the message if you tell me who should receive the information. Nehmah

    I have received an e-mail from Team member Alden. They have taken steps to halt this abuse of the website. I cannot wait for the relaunch. BTW, has the relaunch already started? When I went to the Burdastyle.com site today, I had a pop-up/over that said the burdafashion site is now burdastyle.com and is now located in Germany. What is this about, anyone have a clue, because I surely do not. BTW, I am registered with both sites. Nehmah-who is very confused.

      Yep, I was wondering too and also very confused (but that I think is a side effect of my allergy medication.)

    Hi, I thought I post this link. It explains why Burda is originally (not as of recently) from Germany. Because of this great Lady:

    Hello BuzzyBee and thank you for the link. I had read a similar post, some time ago, when I first started researching websites that focused on fashion, patterns, and construction. Back then, the larger part of the content was meant, and reasonably so, for German-language readers. This one has more complete data, for English-language readers. Cordially, Nehmah
