Rare Silver Spectre Posted December 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2012 When I bring the SS website up on my laptop it now defaults to german. If I change my country back to the UK after a few days it gets defaulted back to german again. Is this part of a cunning plan or maybe an Oceania takeover. Or is it to curry favour with german speaking Argentines. Actually that is not all, even though the website is reset for the UK, all the banner displays are still in German.

CanadianKate Posted December 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It could be that somewhere along the way a cookie has been put by the site on your computer that says you want German. Deleting all the cookies for Silversea and the accessing the site might work. Quite often something similar happens when I do a google search while in a foreign country. It sees the IP address is in Germany for instance so sets a cookie that says I need a German interface. Even when I arrive in the UK, that cookie remains so I have to wipe it before I can get English with Google (unless I specifically ask for Google.com/ncr) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 22, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I agree. I would delete all cookies associated with the web site and try again. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted December 23, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It was not the cookies, it was the website itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standardgirl Posted January 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It was not the cookies, it was the website itself. I'm having exactly the same issue - kept on getting a German website :( I couldn't find anywhere to change my country to the US or UK for their English site - where did you change your country to the UK (as mentioned in your first post)? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAP16 Posted January 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2013 On the very bottom of the page you will see a small Globe symbol with a text box next to it. The box will say Change Your Location (but probably in German). Click on the box and it will let you select another country. The box is next to the Facebook and Twitter symbols. You will probably need to do this every time you go on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted January 10, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Surprise, surprise the German version is back again. Resetting the country fixes most of the problem, but the rolling banner is still in German. Now, I generally do not delete cookies from my computer, unless I have a really good reason, however I did clean up IE yesterday and that includes deleting temporary files. I do wonder if the SS site is doing something non standard with Windows/IE as my other cookies are still working correctly. The same thing happens with Firefox.

Rare Silver Spectre Posted January 10, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I know I could phone the London office and ask, but do not see why I should use a number that I have to pay for, and as for emailing them, well we could wait until 2014 for an answer.

Rare Silver Spectre Posted January 10, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hmm, my version is in english. Host Dan Weird isn't it. I would believe it was my computer if I was the only one. Off this topic, is there any chance of either getting the Roll Calls back here, or could we have all of them on the Roll Call section. Currently we have a mixture and therefor a mess.
