New user here, so apologies if I'm missing something. But all of the forums are in French!

The main site is in English, the location in my profile is US, and I choose US (English) from a popup in the beginning about what language I want.

Why are the forums in French? (" Nouveau message Rédigez correctement pour obtenir des réponses (évitez l'écriture SMS))"

There is an American Flag in the upper right corner of my screen. It links to http://www.tomshardware.com/us/ - this again is the main page in English. But as soon as I click the Forums link from the red bar, everything reverts to French?

Any help? thanks!

Just about everything the forums is in French. The titles of the forums are in English, but all of the "standard" messages are in French. For example:

1) In a minute I am going to push a button that says "Valider votre" to post this comment.

2) On the main forum page, I see "Il y a 487 utilisateurs connus et inconnus. Pour voir la liste des connectés connus, cliquez ici"

3) If I go to a particular forum, the column headings are "Sujet Dern. page Auteur du sujet Nombre de messages Rép. Lues Date du dernier message"

4) The email notification that someone replied to this thread is in French:

"Bonjour,

Hey,

I have reported this error. I still haven't seen it though. When you are seeing everything in french, can you give me a URL that appears in the address bar?
