 Template Re-DesignWe've made some improvements to the design here at MusicTALK. You will especially notice the changes on the homepage and your blogs. Let me know whether it works on your browser. I know it works on FireFox, which all you guys should be using anyways!

Lightbox JS: Photography ViewerI just found this cool JavaScript script called Lightbox JS. It is a JavaScript made by Lokesh Dakar that overlays images on the current page, without loading a new page or opening a pop-up window. The code is OpenSource if you are interested in adding it to your own website (which is very easy to do).
Just go to your photo album to see the changes Wanna see an EXAMPLE?EDIT: Photo Album bugs are all worked out now! Go ahead and upload your image!  7
New Live ChatAs of right now the new Flash Chatroom is online! Check it out. It includes features such as: Private Messaging, File Sharing, Smilies, BBCode, ect... A very full featured chatroom
 It even includes themes, such as Mac OSX, Windows XP, ect... Hope you guys enjoy!Here's the link: http://chat.musictalk.com/ If you are not logged in you will receive a randomly generated Alias. 18
MusicTALK – Total RehaulHere we are, back again, bigger + better than ever. We've merged the last two databases to make a great base of over 125,000 posts, going all the way back to 2002! Very fun historically wise, hopefully some of the old members will come back.
Also, there is the new user homepages... e.g.: http://mud.musictalk.com/ — You can create yours when you signup, just edit the page you're forwarded to when you login. You have the options to write a blog, create a photo album, make a links page, ect... Check out the chatroom too! 15
New Forum Software!I've been working on some forum software on BandAMP for some time now. It's about ready to be used on MusicTALK as well... The reason for this, is I can add features whenever they are needed... And, I know the code.
Another benefit is, you'll be able to browse the OLD + NEW + PREHISTORIC archives in one place... we're starting with the vBulletin (120k posts) and the phpBB posts as a base... They will be all online in one place. Anyways, I'll keep you posted. This is just a heads up. 17
Double Post WarningSo, some people think there is a double-post problem for people wanting to boost their count, which I agree is lame. Post count gives you no spcial privilege or satus here, minus winning the "biggest not-having-a-life-award." Something that is equally lame, however, is people calling out double posts and jsut creating more unnecessary posts. Just PM a mod and something will be fixed. That's why we're here

Assistant AdminHi kiddos! I was nominated, and accept, so my name shows up in red now. I don't necessarily have the know-how to do all the giant things mud has been doing, so I'd personally like to stick to small-scale admin business, but I will be around often, since mud is admittantly busy.

MusicTALK — Newsletter...Hey, thinking about sending out a MusicTALK newletter. Last time we sent one out was when we got this place back up... and boy did it look ugly back then! We've added a lot of new features recently, and think some of the old members might come back if they knew how kewl this website has become...

phpBB v2.0.15 — DowntimeSorry for the downtime... just installed phpBB v2.0.15, which fixes some security problems. Some problems arose, but everything should be working properly now.
List of changes in the new version:

Photo Album... It's finally back!Just added the photo album earlier today... Looks like a few people have already posted some photographs of themselves... This one is actually much cooler than the old one, imo, because you can add multiple images of yourself... create a whole photo album about you!
You can find the link on the top navigational bar... or go here: http://www.musictalk.com/mxbb/modules/mx_smartor/album.php |
