Can newcommers still join the Zenwalk forum?

Hi,

I want to join the Zenwalk forum, even though I do find I am getting excellent help regarding Zenwalk here as well.

Every once in a while for the past few months, I try to register to the forum (http://support.zenwalk.org/ucp.php?m...gister&coppa=0) but this is what I get:

Return to the index page 
General Error
template->_tpl_load_file(): File ./styles/bo2Soft/template/captcha_qa.html does not exist or is empty

Please notify the board administrator or webmaster: webmaster@tulipe.kergonna.fr

There is no way to register and I tried contacting the webmaster but got no reply. Anyone is a member and knows who to contact for this issue? Is the forum closed to new members?

If they closed the forum to new members, that wouldn't be the way they did it - that's just a misconfigured server (looks like a file's gone missing, or they haven't set up their CAPTCHA properly). However, if it hasn't fixed in a couple of months, and the webmaster's not replying to eir email, it sounds like the community's dead, so joining won't be of much benefit...

Bump!

There is still activity within the forum; as recent as this morning even!!!

But still no way to register due to the template error; basically the bottom half of the form is missing including any save button, and there is no way to scroll down.

Can any members please alert the forum admins. I assume that they have not realised that there is a problem....

Who have you emailed so far? I couldn't get any forum-specific email addresses, so I would email someone on http://www.zenwalk.org/modules/tinyc...index.php?id=6 or even go to the IRC channel they mention on that page, and tell someone there.

Hello Snark1994,

I had email a few key people on that email list but got no reply as well (this was a while back so don't remember exactly who and have no time to check right now. I don't remember if I tried their IRC channel but when I have the time I will try that idea. BTW so you are a member of their forum?

Nope... Or I'd have PMed one of the admins myself, or started a thread on it. I use Arch Sorry!

I did? It's entirely possible, if that was listed on the website... I remember searching for an admin email. Are you on the forum? If so, can you help the OP with eir problem?

No I am not on the forum I found the same error if trying to register.

I am not a member either, but I looked up the dns records for zenwalk.org and sent an email to JP.

Finally I was able to sign up on the forum.
