The forum software is great however correct spelling and grammar (not grammer ) is a sign of professionalism and very important to some people, and especially reviewers who are usually word-people!

I'm sure it would only take a short time to put ALL of the forum files through a spell checker (FrontPage maybe).

Most errors are hidden from the public, maybe the reviewer is referring to items in the Admin section, comments and other included files. They all count.

BTW, I was very careful to use the included spell checker on this posting...

Mostly I just see little things here and there

The main thing that sticks is "forum's" where it should say "forums"

ie "There are no forums to display" ...or whatever the phrase was, I can't find it now that there's a reason to, heh

Hey Bruce, this is on the top left of default.asp doesn't sound right to me:

The time is 1:57pm on 30th May 2004

Hi,

In the file named view_groups.asp line 156, we can read :
Quote
There are User Groups to display


Instead of :
Quote
There are no User Groups to display

Quote
Response.Write vbCrLf & "          Thre are " & intTotalNumMembers & " forum members on " & intTotalNumMembersPages & " pages and you are on page number " & intRecordPositionPageNum


Instead of :
Quote
Response.Write vbCrLf & "          There are " & intTotalNumMembers & " forum members on " & intTotalNumMembersPages & " pages and you are on page number " & intRecordPositionPageNum

lan file line 788 :   "If this message is spam or you find offensive please contact the webmaster of the forum at the following address"

it should be : "If this message is spam or you find it offensive please contact the webmaster of the forum at the following address"

******

pm lan file line 119:  "You are blocked you from sending Private Messages to"

it should be : "You are blocked you from sending Private Messages to"

First I want to say I TOTALLY agree with Wendy.  I don't think anyone could have put it any better. 

second, isn't herve's usage of     an other    wrong too?  shouldn't it be   another??   I only point that out to show we all make errors, even when pointing out others errors.

and in webwisers last post..

I don't think there is a difference? 

"You are blocked you from sending Private Messages to"
"You are blocked you from sending Private Messages to" 

I appreciate so much that you want to clear up any potential problems that users see/find.. I can see if there were obvious errors, but these seem to be more of a matter of opinion to me?!

Keep up the good work BoRg.  I think you have more people thrilled with your products then those who aren't.
