Dear valued Members,
I would like to inform you briefly on a few changes here at the forum.
1) We have slightly altered the layout and the design of the Japan Forum in order to reflect the new overall design of Japan Reference. If you happen to find any errors or glitches, please report them right here.
2) Needless to say, that this update is not the BIG ONE. While we have made significant progress in converting the database to UTF-8, there is still a lot of work and experimentation to be done. The import into the new forum software in particular seems to be a major issue that needs to be solved. I do not expect the forum conversion to take place before summer.
3) In the wake of last week's hard-drive failure we have upgraded our automatic backup system and now run more frequent backups.
4) We have added a new subforum to the Nihongo section, dedicated to translations. I have moved most of the previous translation requests (including many of the infamous tattoo threads) to the new subforum. Please note that we do not allow the submissions of entire songs and anime/manga episodes.
Thanks for reading this, we are looking forward to hearing from you!
