Tower of Babel Forum - Climbing the Tower

Original TOwers?

Re: Original TOwers?

It is odd. Numerous oddities I've experienced include:

(1) The members counter DID say 10. I saw it myself. Then I looked at the list to find out who the two new people were and counted nine.

(2) Sometimes when I click on page 2 of a discussion it takes me to page 1. Other paging mergles include the front page declaring this topic had two pages, only for me to discover we are well onto page 3.

(3) Occasionally I've posted a response and seen nothing until I change to another page and then change back.

(4) I've occasionally visited the front page to be told (by those golden icons at the side) that there are new posts. I go and look but there aren't. I can even refresh the front page and it still claims there are new posts. Sometimes it seems to be referring to mine but they don't go away (yet it seems to sort itself out at some future time).

Oh, and 100 isn't the next level. It's some levels ahead. I don't know the actual numbers for level changes and only recently figured out that the number of posts affects your "title".

Re: Original TOwers?

Hmm... yes, there seem to be a few bugs... however, it's free, and I never had real problems with it, so I'm not worried too much.
I could drop the provider a few lines, if you insist...

Not necessary. Just tell me if I get another promotion at 200 messages...

Re: Original TOwers?

Post three more and find out... it would take me another 93-ish.

PS: Has this topic started digressing?


Re: Original TOwers?

Hey Arti, what did you first write when you joined the forum?
"Ich sei, gewährt mir die Bitte, in eurem Bunde der Brite"?!? *gg*

Re: Original TOwers?

Ah, Fawlty, I see you've become a Mason.

I couldn't resist running that sentence through FreeTranslation:
"Let I be, lasted me the favor, in your alliance the Briton".

That's almost good enough to feature in that Monty Python sketch...

And what DID I say when I first posted here? Ich sprechen kleine Deutsche?

Re: Original TOwers?

While we are at it (and I think it'll re-inforce what a solid language job god did on us at babylon...)

here is babelfish at it's bets:

Tower of Bable computer game remake =
Aufsatz des Bable ComputerspielRemakes

on the other hand...

The original version of "Tower Of Babel" had been developed by Pete Cooke in 1989 =
Die ursprüngliche Version "des Turms von Babel" war von Peter Cooke 1989 entwickelt worden

I leave you with this beauty

I am glad that this forum is populated by lateral thinkers. Otherwise this thread would have been moved by now =
Ich bin froh, daß dieses Forum von den seitlichen Denkern bevölkert wird. Andernfalls würde dieses Gewinde jetzt: verschoben worden sein)

have fun
