I have an idea. Dunno if it has already been mentioned, but there is an extensive range of audio media that I love listening to!
I was thinking whether it would be possible for you to make the music on the site downloadable, if it was allowed of course. Thht would be sweet!
GOOD LUCK WITH THE REBUILD!!

I can download the music OK (just got one a minute ago) - there's a workaround, but I don't really wanna go publicising it without Spot's permission.
Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage, Nick! Further to the suggestion about us suggesting albums and tunes to review: assuming a reviews section is added to the new site, how about including an option for us to add our own reviews on the same page, as opposed to putting them in the forum like we might do now? It'd be a cool way for people to share their thoughts.

Well, the option is there Shelley, but for the concerts only.. eventually, I'd like to have a rating system for all pieces of the discography and review added there as well....!
Originally posted by anita Is there a way to have the videos downloadable? OR...if there is, can someone please explain it to me?:D:D:D:D:D:Danita
It is, just type the direct URL, instead of ".ram" put ".ra" and you'll get the file.
Since Real Audio sucks, I just don't see the point.. you know, most of us have those in a really much better format! Ask around!
I'd like to make all gig recordings freely available to everyone ideally, but this would have huge bandwidth implications and would be a massive task ! What I can do though is offer 30 second or so samples of each gig to give people an idea of the sound quality.
As many of you know, most of my recordings are still on tape rather than CD, so an army of volunteers would be needed to convert them to CD. Here's the deal. I send you the tape, you convert it to CD, you keep a copy and send me back a copy and the original tape. Everyone wins. Interested parties please contact me at the above e-mail address.

This caused us many problems in the past, we put several concerts online a long time ago ;)
One interesting thing might be to clip what is said between the songs and put them in the concert's page 
Serious suggestions...let's see...
Some more pictures of the group and group related people/place would be good if that's possible. Update it now and then.
Also, continue to leave out a fancy intro, it's not like it puts a spring to my step each time I come here.

Leave it out yourself, if you take the time to find out how (user menu).....
You need to add more pictures of JD/NO, the pictures that you do have of the two bands are of little interest, you need to find more rare and hard to find pictures, for example; I have four photos of Joy Division at their last gig at Birmigham Uni. I consider these more than mere photos I got off the web, but documents of historical interest, I also have a few colour photos of Ian Curtis instead of the usual b/w photos. Congrates on your marriage, I hope you and your one and only will be forever in love (I'm sure you will).
P.S. Since i just became a member of the Republic I have decided to change my avatar to a picture by H.R. Giger to celebrate my 100+ posts.

I didn't know they still had the intro. Look carefully above. I suggested to continue to not have it, if it's still there than I'm not getting it anyway. So no matter.
could we have popups about penile enlargement...and maybe just random links to porn...
I like porn, and that's the only thing missing from this sight...
although some people have told me that Shug knows all the good porn sites...I reckon I could e-mail the daft bastard, but then he might think I like him...
oh, and the concerts...I would love to have those back...didn't get to download enough of them!!! 
I need new product for e-bay!!!!

You would want pop-ups and porn!!...i like that there are no pop-ups in here!!!...and as for the porn...get off your lazy butt and surf for them yourself...like a normal guy 
....and why do you want the concerts, you havent made copies of the video yet!!! The site is great as is, maybe some more pics of the band would be nice, but in all I think it is perfect.....and I promis to be nicer to Jeff (and everyone else) in Seattle...well, I will try atleast 
you mentioned on a different thread about having the new order stuff you have listed in your profiles - any news with getting that sorted? would be good to have an itinery of the collection somewehere...
On the home page, "Today's History" could contain links to the particular gig page from the "Tours & Concerts" section as opposed to just being a list of events.
Had a look through the thread but saw no mention of this.
What about the videos made of gigs, private and pro shots, that are around? Could they be listed and linked to the particular gig.
Congratulations on this excellent site and please keep up the good work.
Judging from a couple of recent "I just discovered New Order...are there any other teenage fans?" posts, maybe it's time for a Kids Only page.
You know, downloadable coloring pages and stuff.

Do you have any direct connection with Factory? It's interesting that they are begging for somebody to start a Happy Monday's site, and offering unlimited assistance at http://www.factoryrecords.com/ the page appears to have Wilson's e-mail and if you are not in touch, well maybe it might be useful - not for the Mondays (although why not?) but just to add some 'je ne sais quoi'.
At present the site, although fantastic, is very slow loading each page (particularly the forum) - and I've got cable. Also, although the content is fantastic, navigation, in particular, and also design - for a site dedicated to a very design orientated band - is a little lacklustre. I think a marriage between style and content is really important (and i also apprecate very time consuming). I appreciate that you can't provide files of all NO's stuff, however, it would be useful if it were possible for members to set up an NO and related p2p file sharing system where we could exchange tracks, rare stuff etc., to remove (what I consider) the hideous spectre of commercialism over their material. I think I've made myself pretty clear about this regarding a certain David Sultan on both this site and his.
Any help I can give I'd be only too happy; I may even start a site of my own I'm that bored. Here's one I made earlier http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fennerhorne/.
After upgrading from Opera 6 to 7 (7.11), the cute blue/white menu-bar up on top stopped working. Actually, the blue part is there but the white text is gone and non-clickable.
A site map with old-skool "a href" links would be appreciated by those of us who don't want to use Inet Xbloated.

The Javascript menu bar is squished up in Safari too, but it still works. Ugly, though.
Isn't anybody else using Safari? Seb? Michael? Bueller?
