Life In 19x19

AFAIK it is possible to modify the menu bar of the forum so that links from “quick links” appear next to the “Notifications” link, as it was before.

I’d much appreciate if “New posts” and “Unread posts” would be put back there, and ideally also “Unanswered topics”, “Active topics” and “Members”.

Thanks, Robert, I obviously missed that – because I got much less active here due to rising engagement on the OGS forum.

It appears that still no email has been sent out to L19 users – or have I missed it?

How are we to get John, Bill, and others to return here if they don’t know that L19 has been resurrected? I’d imagine that many regular users would have given up after a few months of L19 being down, and I also ...

Rest In Peace, Richard Bozulich!

Today, a sad news arrived: Richard Bozulich passed away on March 09, 2026.

Just an hour ago, his grand-daughter posted the following in the largest English-speaking Go group on Facebook :

Richard’s name is well-known in the anglophone Go community ...

Pls forgive me for replying once again instead of editing my former post but this is about something VERY different:

Now that L19 has been successfully updated to the latest phpBB, I believe it would be a good thing to migrate L19 to a more modern forum software , for example to NodeBB or (my ...

I wonder how all our “old timers” would learn about the resurrection of this forum if they don’t receive emails telling them about it … I’m not sure they all check SL’s L19 status page regularly or the OGS forum thread about L19’s crash and resurrection or the similar thread on r/baduk … I for one ...

• I dearly miss being able to click “thank you”

Just noticed that in another thread there’s a button that I could click, apparently it’s not everywhere?

Thanks muchly , @apetresc :bow:

Some things that I immediately noticed:

The “Quick links” menu has these links:
Your posts
New posts
Unread posts
Unanswered topics
Active topics
Search
Members
The team

Formerly, IIRC most of these used to be on the right side in the first or second ...

If Admins won’t send out a mail to all the veterans of this beloved forum they will, at some time, give up checking in here – and L19 will lose them all.

Still missing you folks … I wonder why https://prod.lifein19x19.com works but https://lifein19x19.com doesn’t … is “prod” just used for hiding L9 from probable bad players (script kiddies, hackers)?

Very normal stress response. Hahaha, I appreciate your humour :D :bow:

And what will come next—should we accuse Japan and Korea, and then the whole “West”, of culturally appropriating Weiqi?

The traditional name "Taichi" and the false name"tengen"
Mh… “traditional” vs. “false” makes me prick my ears

Oy, I can hardly express my joy <happy happy>

Colette Bezio’s beautiful comic story “Aji’s Quest” has finally arrived IN PRINT , released by Board N' Stones.

Hello KOCMOHABT, I’m a big fan of this plugin.

But now I switched back to Safari (on macOS) for several reasons, and I find I am missing your Web Go Board.

Would it be possible to load it as a script in, say, Tampermonkey? Or would you release it as a plugin?

I’d be willing to spend something on ...
