FAQ Feature requests

How about a fanart and fanfiction topic?? I don't know... Most of the Japanese forums I went o doesn't have a fanfiction topic and being a big fiction lover reader w/e, yeah.. I dunno... Like Um... I gone to some Korean sites- they have fanfiction place for translated fictions, made up fictions and its a big hit so.. yeah.. umm.. its just a suggestion ><
 
What I think would help.......

When you type in the site address in the address bar, you have to go to something like forum etc to login. Couldn't the homepage just have a login sign above the sign up sign. It would help people like me alot when we want to login. Not to mention that this sight is very hard to navigate through. Maybe it should be cleaned up and set up neater so that people can find their way around. (This would be good for new members like me. Not to mention those thousands of guess who don't sign up...maybe it's the navigation that confuses them and makes them give up.)
Also, sometimes I get logged off the site without logging off and have to sign in again. Once it even directed me to another members name. This site has a lot of technical kinks that need fixing. :p Overall though, it is a good place to be a part of.
Ciao!

Well, you can just click on "Forum" in the top bar displayed on every page and you'll reach the forum. You could also keep this URL in your "Favorites" : Forum list

Could you explain a bit more what is difficult. Do you sometimes use the site search, the category links in the header (Directory, Forum, Gallery...) or links in the footer (bottom of page) ?

This shouldn't happened. Anyway it is not due to this site, but to your computer. How often do you clear your cookies (if you use Internet Explorer, go to "Tools" => "Internet Options" => "Delete cookies") ? All your passwords form other sites will be cleared too, but you should do it from time to time as some sites' cookies (=passwords saved in your computer) may have conflicts with each others and then you are logged off for no reason, as you said.

Suggestion taken into account. I have created a new Fanfiction & Fanart subforum. :-)

Hi, Nice2!
I wasn't aware the forum had this thread, so just checking, and found your probelm somewhat similar to what I had when I first signed up. But now the problems are gone. Let me tell you what I did.

After suffering various quirks for about 2 weeks, I finally decided to reinstall my WIndows XP. But you might wonder whether you would lose all your goodies stored by reinstalling, including the "favorites."

1) I keep all my data files (files I've written, mail, pics, downloads, etc.) on drive F:. (I have two hard disks. partitioned into C: D: & E: F:) So all my personal data is intact.

2) I make a back up of my "favorites" on drive F: before reloading windows.

After reloading windows, all the strange things that I had disappeared. My hunch is that the problem you are having has little to do with JREF, but is some unknown setting change that certain spyware has left on your system.

To keep things simple, I'll stop here. If you have questions, post here or PM me; I could answer your particulart questions about reloading (assuming it is XP that you have.) Cheers! 🙂
 
i would like to see a sport place.... i would love to talk about soccer, bassball and other j-related sports....

hope im not the only one who watch soccer in here....

Ohhhhh can we have a bishies section? See, it can't go into celebritites, because it could include bishies from anime or games... Such as Cloud. Yum. *drool*

Ahem... moving swiftly on!

I don't reckon we could put it as one thread because there's a lot of bishies and sow people ike me would get confused >.<
JREF is in need of this kind of thing because it's invading other topics.
 
Hiragana, Katakana only japanese forum

This could be a plus for us that are bad at our kanji! And since I have plenty of dictionarys that are hiragana katakana only.

I know plenty of our learners will enjoy it.

Very often writing only in kana is so confusing that it may not be beneficial to Japanese learners. There is a very easy method to read kanji you don't know on the net, just copy and paste them in an online dictionary such as these ones : https://jref.com/language/japanese_english_dictionary.shtml
It is also one of the best way to learn kanji.
 
I'm very aware of the on-line dictionarys. :-) I guess I am use to the "Japanese for busy people (kana version)" books. I'm sure you have heard of them. That's how I learned to read and write it, and as I got better, I started learning what the Kanji are so I can replace the kana with Kanji.

It was only a suggestion though.
Cheers :-)
 
When I came to this forum, I was hoping to chat with more Japanese people. But most of the posters here are non-Japanese. Guess there's nothing one can do about that, eh?

Not that I'm an admin or anything (obviously) but that topic is small and restricted enough to fit in the anime or video games section.

Anway I was going to suggest a subsection within the jpop section for individual band/artist discussion, but after looking around the forums, I noticed there aren't any sub-sub-forums. Oh well, nevermind. My motivation was due to the large number of posts in the jpop section devoted to individual bands, with new posts sometimes overtaking a whole forum page within a single day, and some organization there was due.

Not that I'm , you know, too lazy to click on Page 2 or anything. 😊

Oh yeah, I'm just curious, but why is the Entertainment section the only subforum that has a different layout? I don't mind it so much to want it taken out, but it's kind of disorienting.

Thanks for pointing that out. I have changed it to the default style.
 
Work subcategory.

you can ask your questions about work, in the practical area, but i think that there should be a subcategory about it, because a lot of people who come her, want to know more about work, and can tell about work!!! so i think its important to have a WORK section!!!!
 
What would be fun is to do a sort, or search of members by country....E.g. how many Danish members are there? And how many Japanese?
