Hi all,
Please make sure to enter all available details when generating a new Blue Board entry - and please refrain from entering a record that simply contains a name and a country, such as this one, which was subsequently duplicated with an entry saying "unknown" in all fields.

The Blue Board can be very useful, but asking about experience with "Henry Miller in the US" tend... See more
Hi all,
Please make sure to enter all available details when generating a new Blue Board entry - and please refrain from entering a record that simply contains a name and a country, such as this one, which was subsequently duplicated with an entry saying "unknown" in all fields.

The Blue Board can be very useful, but asking about experience with "Henry Miller in the US" tends to defeat the purpose...

If you have additional details, drop a line to the Jobs Area coordinators - there's a bunch of moderators actively working to update records, and we rely on your support in doing so.

Thanks, and best regards,
Ralf ▲ Collapse

I've spent 50 BrownieZ to see it, but it's been worth that.

By the way, I've sent two messages to report an error in a name... Nov 17, 2003

but the error is still there. There is an agency that appears twice, one with the right name and the other with a typo. Since they have very dubious payment practices and have cheated several translators (including myself), it's important to make the correction so people be forwarned about them. However the mistake is still there despite my messages.

I'm sorry to hear that, but who did you sent these messages to?

Best regards, Ralf

MODERATOR
Please contact ProZ Jobs Area moderators concerning BB Nov 18, 2003

After seeing MZAL's message, I wrote and requested specifics concerning the double entries. I have now fused the two entries so all the information and ratings appear under one entry now.

If you notice an information error in a BlueBoard entry (wrong or outdated address, non-functional Website, mispelling, double entries, etc.), please do contact one of the ProZ.com Jobs Area moderators and let us know about it.
