Punctuation mistake alert!
There is a punctuation mistake on the forum. If you look at the text below the link to the "Custom Adventures" link it says: "Post, Download, and Discuss Custom Adventures", there is no full stop at the end!

*comes to realization*

I assume this is a joke, right?

No, look for yourself. There seriously is no full stop.

I meant this topic.

Wow.

I don't understand.

That's not exactly what I meant. Anyone can make a mistake. The keys are right next to each other.

I meant your overreaction to a simple punctuation mistake.

That was a joke.

You said the topic was a joke not the overreaction.

I know, but I was just making sure someone corrects the mistake.

So, is this going to be fixed?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 8:58 pm

Is one dot really worth it for MS to come onto the forum and revise it?

Post by **billy bob** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 9:01 pm

Well, is it hard to fix?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 9:02 pm

Not really, but MS is a very busy person.

Post by **billy bob** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 9:10 pm

Well, how much time would MS have to spend to do this?

I don't know.
Instead, MS, PLEASE DELETE THIS TOPIC.

But what about the punctuation mistake?

One sentence missing a dot is not something to make a topic over just to get it fixed. It's not hurting anyone.

Post by **billy bob** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 10:23 pm

Well it confused me when I read it. I thought it wasn't the end of the sentence.

Please tell me you don't seriously think that one missing period is worth making a topic all about. Really now, it's not as bad as the spelling mistakes in the RTW Editor (once it was "Did remember you to save?", and now it's "Did you rememberto save?" or something).

I'm just saying.

I'm just saying.

And when it does say: "Did you rememberto save?" the options are:

No, thank you.
Yes, please

How do those options make sense to the question? If someone says: "Did you remember?" You don't say: "No thanks."

But anyway - What other options did I have than making a topic? It would be wrong just to go "Off topic - ...". This is serious though. It is a spelling mistake on the main part of the wonderland forum. Think about the confusion many others will have if I am having this confusion with this missing ".".

And yet nobody (not the user) has noticed it, so it must be a trivial error that no one cares about (No offence)

wtf

This topic is a worse problem than that missing dot.

I can't believe you think this is serious.

I can't believe you think this is serious.

I think it would be better if this was solved in PMs.

PS Profanity alert

How is this topic a problem?

It is serious.

This is a mistake that 11857 users witnessed (and think of all the people that haven't got accounts to). And many future users will continue to witness the confusion of the missing punctuation unless it is fixed.
