One language forum please?

Thorgue

This forum is unusable. There are English, french and german threads all mixed up. This should change. I don't want to see the same threads 3 times in languages I barely understand.

That is very rude. I guess we share the same forums with Europe and in Europe there are many languages. German is the most spoken language in Europe, not English. And beside, there are also other languages spoken in America than English, like French (Canada has French as official language with English), Spanish and Portuguese (Brazil).

"German is the most spoken language in Europe, not English."

And apparently statistics is the least studied course.

Willowleaf

Like I said most either have German as first language, or have German as one of the languages they know.

What's funny, I just saw a message alert at the top of the page in french. I mean seriously? The entire board is disorganized and it's a wonder anyone can find anything. The beta forums were so much better than this, what were they thinking?

I would have to agree. I am of course aware that Europe is a multi-language continent since I live here. But having three separate language categories, announcements and alerts is simply confusing.

If there was a way to select one or more languages (for example in account/profile settings), I am sure it would become much easier for people like me to browse the forums. And no, English is not my first language, but I still understand it way better than French or German.

Willowleaf

I agree with you Mabo, they should add in our profile the ability to chose in which language we want to see the forums, that would be much more practical than the current forums.

I also found the forum fairly confusing to navigate, not only because of languages but also the structure with sub-forums.

What I found helpful is the "Categories" window to the left in the forum. Going straight to a specific language category there helps a lot.

Well, sorry tot think it's rude. I live in Europe myself and the problem is we don't speak each others languages. The one language most people in general speak is English.

That being said, I'd like to point out that I'm not asking for one forum in only English. I'm asking for a toggle that lets me choose a language so I won't see the ones I don't understand.

NVM I see someone ressed a dead thread.
