Here's a screenshot:



Lign should be line. It is misspelled twice in these instances:

Insert a lign

If you wish to aerate your message by inserting ligns


Also, shouldn't aerate be seperate? Would make a LOT more sense.

The dot is too much

Thanks! I'll go ahead and fix these as soon as I can.

Hey, i am from Estonia.

The topic is only for English forums.

Hello,

A friend pointed out to me on a forum I run that there is a misspelling on the FAQ page on my forum. After double checking to see, I also went to check another forum to see if it was something I had done but it seems to be part of the default FAQ.

Below is a screenshot to show that it is spelt "Issus" on the page but should be spelt "Issues". Both of the screenshot images are on PunBB Forums. I'm not sure how much the forums versions differ when it comes to FAQ content.



Just thought I would pass on the problem.
Thanks,

Well its usually that "Goto page", when it suppose to be "Go to page". Almost in all forumotion.com forums.

AP >> General >> Username Censoring >>

Original:
New usernames won't be allowed to contain this words.


The correct way would be:
New usernames won't be allowed to contain these words.

In the following area, the word "servimg" is seen.

Admin Panel > Misc > Image Host

~BoraO

BTW: how can i volunteer here/?

I don't know if this would correspond here, but I'm posting it anyways. When you are at Forumotion.com and you read the article regarding Invision well at the bottom part of the article, the last paragraph, well it says bloggor. It should say blogger. Just want to get that pointed out. Here's the link to the article if you want to read it yourself

Forumotion.com (Invision)

BoraO, helping forum mebers you can receive forumotion Helper rank. Some examples of members:
MrMario, Darren1, APE.

When removing a user from the "Inactive users" list, you are re-assured by the message:

These users has been removed.

I would think it should be:

The selected users have been removed.

p.s. BoraO - "Servimg.com" is an image hosting website used as forumotions default image hoster. So this "word" is actually correct.


Also: I'm not sure if this is wrong or if it's just something I don't understand, but when you do something you're not permitted to do regarding reporting posts you get the message:

You are not allowed to use this part of the Report Post Hack!

I'm not sure if it's just that I don't understand it or if it doesn't make sense

This is Big Brother

AP > Users & Groups > Inactive users > message stating user/s is active is incorrect - it would be correct had of it been just 1 user, but there's usually more to activate.

Says:

This user has been activated

Should state:

The selected user(s) have been activated

Also, when deleting users via this option it says:

Removed Users (2)

Should say:

Removed x user(s)

That is all for now.

God what's this host made up of? Socially inept people!?

Good catch Ryan.

Actually no, the company was made by a just a "few" French people, and they don't know much English (as far as I'm aware?) back in 2005. When there was a full English Team, devs and all, there was a major language correction blitz but missed a fair bit

Thanks for tipping me there, man. Seems pretty bad for quite a popular forum host.
