I've also wanted to use the Instant Messenger, but I've tried everything, and it still doesn't work. I've looked at the help pages, I've clicked the blue button, and nothing. Did I do something to make it not work, or what?

There is work occuring on the page currently, and it may not be reachable for a while. Hopefully, it will be up again soon.

oren:The esperanto message did read, like you said, something to the effect of:Also, there was "please be sure to re-visit the page!" or something along those lines. I'm sure it was intended to convey friendliness. Odd, though, that there was no English translation. There was Chinese, another asian dialect, swedish, a few other languages that I couldn't discern, portuagese, and some others but no English, even though a large portion of the users can and do speak English.

Have you noticed that the other forums are rarely used? Aside from the Esperanto forum and the English forum, the other languages are completely barren. It's like we're the only ones who ask for help. Odd.

If anyone there feels able and wants to be a vonluteer translator, contact the staff!
(Sorry for poor English!)

POOR ENGLISH?! That was amazingly good! I was shocked when I read that. Very natural English.

Regarding the translation of the error message - sorry about that! I do the English translations, and that particular phrase was posted to the system while I was attending the ELNA Landa Kongreso in New York. I didn't have access to a computer and I didn't get home from my travels until Wednesday, by which time it was too late to do anything about it.
