Hmmmmm., I'm not allowed to use an animated GIF as an avatar any longer! Anything wrong or changed that we should know?

"You may not upload animated images."

 

That's news to me BN - we'll check the settings (sounds like a new setting in the new version of the forum software).

Must say I quite like the idea of having no animated avatars............................but that's just me!

 

I agree :icon_confused:

 

- I dare you to change yours ... :icon_wink:

 

I wanted to change it to one of these;



But it wouldnt let me...

:icon_frown:


EDIT: Inappropriate image removed, PB Mod

 

... I'll maybe have to compromise by including this ...

Hi

Had a idea that might be useful and potentially an income generator for tMP. It's not a fully developed idea yet......... so feel free to let me know why it wouldn't be practical

In the same way that there are separate forums set up for people involved in tMP events (eg Hadleigh) where only those people involved have access to the forum, could something be set up for individual bands. You may need to have a contact at each band to approve entry and possibly a mod could be appointed from the band if you didn't want to overload the super mods any further (that bit probably needs a bit more thinking about.....)

The benefit to the band would be that they don't need to set up their own forum and tMP has much more functionality and is more user friendly than the run of the mill free forums. They could use it for notices and keeping the band updated as well as more fun subjects specific to the band (and you may get rid of some of the in-band banter that no-one else understands on the other forums ). Also ex-members or friends of the band could be allowed to join if the band is happy with that.

Benefit to tMP - well, you could charge a small monthly fee - alternatively, as each band member would need to be a tMP member to get to their band's forum, I would think there would be a nice increase in membership and potiental advertisers/supporters/or even just clickers on the ads !

What do you think ?

 

I just registered and the quick regsister failed in both firefox AND IE and threw me to a blank page (register.php I think) which just hung :-(

Obviously the old way is OK
