I notice that when question marks are used there is a space before them. There is no need for this. Also, periods are missing in places where they should be present.

Examples:

1.You are not registered
Would you like to register ?

That should read like...

You are not registered. Would you like to register?

2.Who is Online ?

Should read like...

Who is online?

Just a couple minuscule things that could easily be fixed. It would be appreciated if you could fix this for our forums.

EDIT: I've encountered another thing that really needs to be fixed. When a two users happen to post at the same time, this message pops up...

"A new message has just been added while you write it your.
You can consult the last messages posted below and thus to decide if you want to modify it or to record it."

The second sentence reads fine, but the first, just no.

It should read something like...

A new message has been submitted at the same time as yours.

I would have to agree with you here. It makes the Forum(s) look cheap and unprofessional.

Very good

I hope this isn't overlooked, because it'd be really nice to have these fixed.

You would need to add a poll so others can say what they think (so the staff would know if this is wanted or not).
If the poll was there, I would vote yes. Especially with the replying at the same time message; I've noticed it as well and I don't like it.
