Necron, we use some interesting way of vocal communication. One could call it a language, when you're not really into it, it might sound as primitive roaring.

This excerpt is very interesting about language :
"The Chamorro language is related to the languages of the Philippines and northeastern Indonesia. The language has changed considerably, however, during the thousands of years of relative isolation. Chamorro was not a written language . It was, and largely remains, an oral language. It did not become a written language until foreigners began attempting to write down the words they heard the Chamorros use. The Spanish, who were here for 400 years, left a noticeable influence on the original language. The Spaniards brought with them technology, food stuffs and textiles, all which the Chamorro language did not have words for. These words had to be assumed by the Chamorro people. The German administration, here for only 15 years, did not have a marked effect on the language. The Japanese who were here twice as long as the Germans, had only a minimal effect on the language. The Japanese influence on the eating habits was much greater. Seafoods of all types, including Sushi and Sashimi is a favorite among locals and tourists. Today many Chamorros speak some Japanese to communicate with the tourists. "

simple: the name will become a link to the user info page. However, there are some tricks I need to tackle (only logged in members are allowed to view user info pages, user should have given permission to show user info page etc. etc.)

What about the poor MSX fans without any info page ?
Btw, it's not my case, but there's another problem : I'm webmaster of 2 MSX sites and administrator of a MSX forum, that is on a third site ! 8) |

well, you can only list one...  but the info page in this case is the same page you'll see when you visit the 'contacts' section |
|

Ok, your idea is excellent ... but it means also that only the users that have "registered" himself in the contacts list can be presumed to have agreed about the link to their info page

GuyveR800 msx guru Berichten: 3048 | Geplaatst: 19 September 2003, 23:21   |
Yes, but everybody should agree to that anyway  |
