What's New
New Website Features
Since the new Christie website went live last year, we’ve been listening to all your feedback. Thanks so much for your comments. This week we’re unveiling new features on the site which we hope you’ll enjoy. Do remember to let us know your thoughts, and we’ll do everything we can to make the site as good as it can be.
Christie Actors
There can only ever be one Poirot or one Miss Marple. And they live in the minds of the reader. But over the years they’ve been portrayed on screen by some marvelous actors. We’re sure you have your favorites, so scroll over the masthead to customize the website. The site will remember your choices for your next visit, and you can change them at any time.
Christie Timeline
Agatha Christie led a truly fascinating life. She lived through the roaring twenties, the great depression, two world wars and the swinging sixties. All had an impact on her novels as did events in her personal life. The timeline puts it all in context. Search through her life; see the influences and also her legacy. With such a rich history to tell, it isn’t surprising that we’ve more to add. But keep coming back and if you know of any events from her life that we’ve missed be sure to tell us.
Christie Talk
We hope you enjoy using the forum. We certainly enjoy reading your thoughts on our favorite author. We’ve made several changes to the forum that we hope will make it as user friendly as possible.
The Book Club
We understand the forum is used by a range of fans; from those just discovering her work, to those with the most in-depth knowledge. We’ve therefore created the Book Club. Here fans can openly talk about all her stories, without fear of giving the game away. We advise those who have yet to read a title to avoid clicking through to that topic as spoilers will be everywhere! We know that Christie fans know a great deal about her work; the value of your comments is much appreciated so we’ll be taking the most insightful comments and adding them to the stories page. We hope your advice and knowledge will help those less familiar with her work.
Featured Topic
To help navigate the forum we’ll be featuring the most popular Topic of the moment. This may be one of her books, which you choose to read together, or may be about the latest film release. We hope it will spark the most interesting debates!
Classified Ads
Fans asked for an area to swap and sell their old Christie books and products in. Here you’ll find second hand copies for sale, DVDs and Christie memorabilia. If you choose to sell through the site, it will be completely safe, but we advise you read the Rules of Engagement first.
My Profile
We hope this may become one of your favorite features of the site. From here you can safely contact others users, create a wish list of Christie products, and keep track of the stories you’ve read and would like to read. It will also show all your posts in the forum and blog.You can choose to make your whole profile public, private or reveal some details. It’s entirely up to you.
Shopping Basket
One really useful feature for avid collectors of Christie products is the shopping basket. You can add all the products you’d like to buy from the site to one place. Once you have everything you want, it will take you through to Amazon. There’ll be no need to add them again. You can even use your wish list as a “shopping list” and transfer the whole thing over to buy in one easy step.
Christie Events
We’ve moved the Events section to “About Christie”. Please remember to add in any events you plan or hear about, be it stage, screen or radio. It’s always lovely to let others know what’s happening so they don’t miss out.
Games
We've also added new Games to the site and new Quizzes. You can test yourself and keep track of your score.
We’re working hard to add new features to the site in the coming months but in the meantime, tell us your thoughts.
