But a less stern, more friendly reminder is often posted: 请勿吸烟。 It means "Please do not smoke here!"

Looking at this sign, what does this say?

Yes, "smoking is prohibited", but on a door sign in the UK "no smoking" is standard.

:
严禁吸烟, which are the exactly same words now written in Simplified Chinese, is a stricter version.

Why did the menu change?
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
More information on the changes...
Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu?
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
I cannot find something
If you are having trouble finding something with the new menu, please
