I can get used to this. Still the best site on the web.

Thanks, Joe.

As always, I agree with Zig--been the best Beatles site for years!  Cheers, mate!

Nah, no insult taken. I got the point you were making. Message boards have been around for ages, but they still have life in them. You only need to ...]]> Thu, 09 May 2013 16:38:59 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/forum-changes/page-3/#p73909 Getting better http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/forum-changes/page-3/#p73909 Check you out, Joe...  Impressive.

I appreciate that you didn't take my comment as an insult.  These types of forums really are a throwback to pre-2003 internet, so it's nice that you're aware that linking them to newer social-media sites is important to keep them relevant.

I know it's a different platform (and I'm not too knowledgeable about this sort of thing) but if there was any way to integrate with Tumblr at all, that would be my focus.  

Hell…  It's 2013.  He should be amazed that these forums still exist at all.  These things are ghosts of the old internet.

It got me thinking about the way conversations online are happening. A lot of sites use social logins, and most people seem to have Facebook, Twitter etc accounts. So I've signed up with a third-party service that allows up to six different account logins for the forum, in addition to the normal registration/sign-in. So, more options to encourage people to join in.

The current services are Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, Blogger, Google+ and Disqus (the last two might ...]]> Thu, 09 May 2013 12:35:40 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/forum-changes/page-3/#p65382 Getting better http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/forum-changes/page-3/#p65382 I had to re-enable the spam filter as we were getting quite a few rogue registrations. It sometimes catches false positives - ie legitimate messages are sometimes held as spam. If this happens to you don't worry, I'll approve it as soon as I can (and sorry for the inconvenience).

Who'd have thought there'd be more threads dedicated to "Love" than to any other non-SPLHCB album?!

I can create more sub-forums if people think they'd be useful, for example each of John/Paul/George/Ringo's solo albums. I'm not sure whether it'd be useful though.

I don't to overload the forum with sub-sections because it might become harder to navigate (for example if there were a sub-forum for every Beatles song), but I'm all ...]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:48:45 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/forum-changes/page-3/#p53015 Getting better http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/forum-changes/page-3/#p53015 I'll have a look and see if I can fix it. Not sure what the problem is though.

EDIT - there's now a preview function in the edit screen, so you can check how something looks before publishing it. Hope it's useful.

Thanks for your work in all of these bits and pieces of the site Joe.

No idea where this should go but it fits here so there here it is.

No idea if its been reported elsewhere but the quote thingy isnt working properly in places, just lumps everything together without actually highlighting that its a quote. Done it manually when replying in the Let It Be thread.

Testing

EDIT - does that look wrong to you? It has a box around the quoted text - seems clear enough to me.

And the 1965 pics at the very top look fabulous - if they are still there, its great how those pics change.

Yep - colours work again.

Thanks, Joe!
