I understand, but I think it is a bad idea. That is supposing that the foreign visitor is looking first at this thread, which is not likely. When he will see all those questions, he will give up. Fortunately I am already registered
But still having no clue where to look for PM, where to upload pics, I just click randomly.

@Yunings: I think that you should also spread this message to HC, CoreWoG forum and anywhere else regarding WoG discussion. Some people don't go to any of the threads before registering. They are only having "headache" while watching Chinese.

@Salamendre: I think it's a good idea, though it can be better. There are two many advertisement spreaders here and they bring many things worthless to our forum. Yunings just have to do this to protect the pureness of our WoG forum. And if you want to upload anything, just click the link "预览帖子" and you can see the button "浏览" under the dialogue box just choose what you want to upload, no matter pictures or any thing else, and post the thread. As for PM, just click "短消息".

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Jason

Is it possible to switch to English version of the forum? i.e all UI are in English text.

or is it possible to show everything in Chinese+English simultaneously? show "发端消息" as “发短消息 PM”
“上传” as “上传 upload”

I we really want to reserve a place for foreigners to visit, we need to make sure they don't get stuck all the way entering into our forum.

For your questions on New account... you could show all questions both in Chinese and in English, and accepting answers both in Chinese and English. that may work.

I don't think it's possible.

I know it's not a good idea, but I'm afraid I can not find any other better idea to let foreign visitors to get their accounts. Sorry for that, really.
But perhaps, give me some time, I'll post a special thread for foreign heroes to show how to register and use this forum freely step by step. Please be patient.

Thanks, man. But I don't think it's a good idea. For most foreign heroes, this forum is too far away from their sight. This thread is just for those fans who really need to register here.

Sorry, poet, there is no possibility to do what you just said. The forum system allows you to enter only ONE answer for each question, either in Chinese or in English.

I hate spammers as much as you. However, there are only two [wiki]WoG[/wiki] forums alive in the whole world, chinese and russian. Slowly, people will come here for sure. I can't explain well, but chinese words look....alien to us. For sure if I had to fill chinese questions I would never be registered here and give up. I hope a solution will be find. I congratulate you all for being able to speak and read english, may us be able to do same with chinese one day.

Frankly speaking, block spamming with chinese-only questions is not a bad idea, it is an absurd idea.

if you cannot accept two different answers, consider give the option to change the question. i.e. if users cannot read the question, he can press a button to change the question. you will have english questions and chinese questions like this:

Q: 这是一个中文问题（if you cannot read this press "change question" button to change to another question）
Q: 这是另一个中文问题（if you cannot read this press "change question" button to change to another question）
Q: An english question here...（如果你看不懂可以点击“change question”按钮换一个问题）
Q: Another english question here...（如果你看不懂可以点击“change question”按钮换一个问题）

Then users will randomly got english or chinese questions, if foreign users see the chinese question he will also see the hint in the bracket and he will know he will have option to switch to another random question.

if you got 20 english questions and 20 chinese questions, you will have 50% chance to get an english question at register, and 50% chance to get an english question everytime he click the "change question" button.


All our effort, is to be friendly to the international users. Yes, the internet is international, wog is not something in a intranet.

Thanks, Poet, your suggestion is really good. Now, I've changed the 12 questions, half Chinese, half English. Though there is no "change question" button but only other hints, I still hope this will work.

So the problem solved?

And this post can be removed from "always on top" list?

I think it will do the registration much more complicated (thanks god, I am already registered ).
But I hate spammers too. May be your right,  yunings, it is the lesser of evils.

I don't think that there will be more people come here. At least until we release the new version, and if it will be able to recover interest to the WOG.
