We can create different ranks according to the number of posts made by people. Do you have suggestions for names for these ranks? And suggestions for logos to go with these ranks?
I was thinking the first rank on 250 posts, second on 500 posts, third on 1000 posts and then every 1000 thereafter.

Eh, the forum looks good andre, but I feel this coffee lay out is very messy to me ... maybe we could go for a slighly more clear one? :D

Or you could just choose one of the other themes from your profile, Sander.

As Benjamin said, you could choose another one. Go to your profile, go to "Board style" and pick one. :wink: Anyway, I agree the coffee one (as appropriate as it is) is a bit busy, and have thus changed the default style.

Just a curious thing : when I use the tags (bold, italic, underscored, image, URL etc), they never place at the left and at the right of the part of text selected. They either go both on the right, and sometimes just one goes to the right and the other one is lacking. Is it serious doctor ?

To count the total number of posts on 31 of December. Who has sent the least posts will host the 1st Meeting of Langcafians next year :twisted:

Well, if you could create a Nordic language forum, a few of us would appreciate it - but instead of the former "Skandinaviska Språk" title, might it be "Skandinaviske Språk"? The former is Swedish, the latter is Norwegian, and "Skandinaviske Sprog" is Danish. Guess which one's "intermediate". ;)

Right, I'm running a test on ranks. It seems to be working. :wink: Suggestions for ranks, and logos, please?

I'll have to give it some thought. Meanwhile, how about giving us a variety of font styles?

As far as I know, the font style comes with the board style you pick, unless you download font styles yourself. But I'll get back to you on that. :wink:
Meanwhile, can anyone perhaps design a logo for the site?

Before we get creative on this, are we going to keep the "Langcafé" name? Do y'all think we should stick with a "coffee" theme like we had originally planned or should we think of something else?
Also if we're serious about continuing Langcafé, do you suppose someone should try to inquire whether the langcafe.net domain is available for purchase? I don't know too much about how this all works... is it more trouble than it's worth?

I suggest we see first whether the forum grows. I'd be willing to purchase the name (it should be available), unless someone else wants to and take over the running of the forum.

Are you sure the problem is the domain has no longer been paid for? If this were the case we should get a message like "the website cannot be found" or "the page you tried to access no longer exists", or a page proposing to buy the domain or a commercial portal.
What we have is a phpbb error message. The file sessions.php is still on the server, but the SQL query returned an error code. According to me it means the domain is still ours and the php files are still on it. I guess the database is still there too (otherwise we'd get a "couldn't connect to the databasse" message) but is corrupted. Can someone confirm/infirm?
By the way, doesn't Kirk have the password to download from / upload onto the old server?

Or you're free to use any one of my simple designs.

Andre,
I got to tell ya. I really dig this forum, and sincerely appreciate the fact that we have user registration on this site. But I propose that we have a history section for the forum, just as we have one for politics and culture and things of that nature. Most of us are inclined towards historical topics, as we are interested in various fields of social studies.
So, I would suggest that we have a "history" section. Is that something which is considerable?

Pauline

I think that this forum is really great. :)
Especially, the subjects - everone can create a thread for what is interesting to them, and this threads not are dleted whne we discuss related topics, but a little differnt that the exact title.
Also, the emoticons, avatars, membership, PMs, and the just moderation.
Please moderate my messages if you consider the content isn't good or something. I will be happy not angry, but please to send me a PM and explain me why have you moderated. Until now, 2 of my messages have been moderated, and it was a very good reason and i received a PM.
I'm vyer sorry that sometimes I write some crazy things. it's not deliberate and mostly i write normal things.Thanks.

Thanks for the new history section Andre! Dank!

Yes, an history forum is a good idea
|
Porthos

Well then Fab, why don't you start a thread in our newly created "history" forum?

Hi
I'm wondering if I can be a moderator of a thread please? For example the german one I can be the moderator as well as harrenys because he's very busy so he doesn't often visit, or a dutch thread would be okay.
Thanks.

Ja, selbst wenn ich hier bin, macht es keinen Spaß, der einzige Moderator vom deutschen Forum zu sein. 
En iets nieuws wacht op jou bij de grootste nederlandstalige draad.

Hi André and all the Moderators
Thank you very much for the decision to make me a moderator on the german and ducth threads!!! I didn't expect that you will accept me as moderator, and especially not for so many threads (I mean all the german & dutch ones) !!!

Es ist jetzt ganz toll, daß wir zusammen die Moderators sind.Ich habe schon die andere Leute vom fred ein Bericht geschreiben um zu erklären, daß wir Disziplin dort halten und deshalb auf zu passn sonst werden wir ihre Berichte wegschmeissen  Auf dem deutschen fred ist es natürlich total gemütlich und es ist nie passiert, daß Moderation notig gewesen ist -darum konnte ich solche Bemerkung machen

Yesterday I nearly edited aquatar's message!!! I was replying her but I didn't noticed I've clicked edit because I thought that it was the quote one!!! I'm not accustomed to see so many things at the right of the messages (edit, quote, IP , delete etc..) fortunalty I noticed ; how I noticed was when there wasn't [quote] so i thought it wasn't as usual and when I controled it I saw that it was editting   What a good luck that I've noticed before to post it!!! It woudl be terrible to edit her message!!! Now I will be very careful to chose quote !!!!!

I'm fed up that all the peopl are angry with me adn accuse me that I've done somethign what I didn't do, for exmaple here and on antimoon. there they've put a message with my name but I didn't wrte it: Pauline Mon Jun 25, :35 am GMT
I want to be a moderator. I am nice, polite and educated. And I love to kill those evil people who hate me.

As I've told you: Antimoon est une place du trous du cul. So you'd better ignore it.
But Langcafé is NOT Antimoon.

Pauline

Langcafé is btter than Antimoon for sure, but all the poeple here had secrets behind my back as well, and some are angry with me and accused me somethings what I didn't say or mean.Then I'm fed up and hurt so it's better only have the PMs and write on the german thread. I don't want to discss it more.

To answer your question from this very old thread:
The domain has not been updated since mid 2005. It expires July 11. I do have the contact info for Yann, if anyone is interested in contacting him...

Really? Then let's grab us some pitchforks and torches and... so, have you had any contact with him yourself?
|
Elaine

As much as I'd love to hear from Yann, I think we haven't heard from him for a reason (I don't know what that reason would be but I'm sure he has one), and we should respect that by not contacting him.
However, it would be nice to get that old domain back since the url was easier to remember. But then what would happen to this one?
