I did a maintenance on the forum, apparently the spammers are back again, so I updated it to date and I have enabled the spam protection on the forum.

Now, let me know (Facebook is the best way since it shows up on my phone) if you have issues with false positive detection of spam.

Other news, been working hard lately on responsive websites, and I must say I'm looking at NOOL and I'm tempted to just trim the site, make it very lightweight, a news section, these forums, a twitter feed to help with news posting, etc.

Could be an interesting project, I'm very concerned my cheap webserver will become an issue, it's obsolete, slow, and well, I cannot update it anymore (it's Windows Server 2003) and upgraded server would cost twice the price I pay right now every month.

But with the news going on about the band, I think it's worth the effort to revamp a little and give access to some key people to post the news, I know I've said that for years now, but it's really tempting. I wish I had a graphic artist to help, but that's another story.

Stay tuned.

I've haven't been login in for a while because of many things about people doesn't care about my private life, but i find it pretty sad when whenever I'm trying to have some news about my favourite band on the net (google, youtube, whatever) I'm not actually finding anything decent about them or even the forum. A group without a proper forum now means nothing and this is so important that if we want NO to go on that they actually have this place to rely on [skeptic]

Decided to take a look at it today, gathering ideas of course, here is what I've been doing so far.

It's only a proof of concept, nothing actually works on that site, so don't get too excited, you know me I'm lazy ;)

I'm not crazy about the "10 days ago" style dating of posts now. I prefer an actual date on the posts myself. Just my two penneth worth...

I notice we can now embed more stuff in the [BB/] codes bit. Is it possible to also include Soundcloud? And is it possible to increase default size of the font?
