==Deprecation and removal of the WikiForum & Chat== | |||
As these two features have seen less & less traffic in the recent years, we have taken the decision of retiring them fully. | |||
They will no longer be available. As part of this process, we are also merging the selected/featured tags for languages that the community & we particularly much like.

==Massive site upgrades== | |||
The Linguifex site has had its backend systems upgraded to run on a newer operating system, homogenized HTTP stack (backend & TLS frontend now use the same) and was updated to version 1.30. | |||
Linguifex will be updated to 1.32 as soon as possible | |||

==Sound files== | |||
We now have sound file upload supported (.ogg format). Just add them to your article using <nowiki>[[File:Whatevername.ogg]]</nowiki>. Please don't upload gigantic files though. I'd rather not have to limit it unnecessarily. | |||
==IRC== | |||
We now have an IRC channel on the freenode network. IRC stands for ''Internet Relay Chat'' and allows instantaneous chatting (live!) with other people on Linguifex. | |||
Think of the channel as a more relaxed, global talk page with live discourse. | |||
'''You can now chat with us at [[Linguifex:Chat]]! :D''' | |||
===Old instructions=== | |||
To join you must first have an [[w:Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients|IRC client]]. There are many desktop clients available, some of the most famous being: mIRC, ChatZilla, and XChat; there are also many web clients that run in your browser, [http://webchat.freenode.net/ freenode webchat], and [https://kiwiirc.com/client KiwiIRC] to name two. | |||
:'''1'''. Pick a nickname and connect with your client to the network [irc://chat.freenode.net chat.freenode.net] using port 6667 | |||
:'''2'''. If you did not chose a channel to join in the previous step, type '''/join #linguifex''' at the prompt (this will make you join our channel) | |||
:'''3'''. Chat to your hearts delight! | |||
''PS. We recommend that you register with the same username as on Linguifex to avoid confusion and any possible disputes. This can be done by typing /msg NickServ register '''password your@email.com'''. Do '''not''' reuse your wiki-password!'' | |||
==Happy Holidays!== | |||
The Swedes and Scandinavians of '''Linguifex''' and the [[Linguifex:Administrators|administration]] wishes everyone a [[w:Christmas|Merry Christmas]] now on Christmas Eve, and the rest of the world [[w:Holiday|Happy Holidays]] until Christmas Day!
