It won't let me create my own thread. Do I have to subscribe to something to be able to post a new thread.

Bartender, about the Hall Of Fame, you've got me down at 13 but I should have 15, not sure which ones you've missed (I do have one review-within-review) but if you could update it that would be just splendid :)

I know they have. But still...

[QUOTE=Med57]I'd guess your re-review of BSSM by the Chili Peppers would be one of the ones not on his list...just out of interest, is there a policy on concert reviews? I always got the feeling they were discouraged unless it was some sort of major event like Reading, or the Metallica/Linkin Park/Deftones shows a while back, but if not, I might do one.

I'm doing a review of Hammered At Xmas at the minute. So if they are discouraged.....well, you can all go poop yourselves.

I'm gonna say it now so if anyone sayd anything I'll have this to look back on. I'm gonna write the review for both rufio cds and the motion city soundtrack. :thumb:

Has anyone called dibs for Mars Volta-Frances the Mute? I have an advanced copy (thanks to Soulseek) and would like to do the review.

You have to wait until it is released officially. Just dib it a couple of weeks before it comes out and write the review after the album comes out?

How is it?

I dibbed it on page 2, I dunno whether that was too early or not. But if you are American, it will probably be released officially there first, so whatever. I'll just post my review in yours

It's brilliant. No Deloused, but it is certainly impressive. 5 tracks, 88 minutes...

I just did my first CD review, on Hell Yeah! by the Horrorpops.

Plus one review within a review.

You're trusted, so I've updated you to 15, but if you could tell me which are missing so I can update my text document list, I'd be thankful.

Med/Iai/anyone else interested - no problem with concert reviews, so long as as much effort is put into them as would be put into a CD review.

Okay, after 6 months of relative peace, the character limit in the List is becoming a problem again. So far I've done okay in handling it, by moving the 1-9 reviews to the last post instead of the first, streamlining links, not adding my latest reviews to the List, and just being lucky in shifting reviews up and down to find room.

Hopefully it won't matter soon anyway, because of the new format mx is working on, but ideas on how to reduce the characters in posts (without doing a full overhaul, please) would be appreciated. One big problem is the Rolling Stone colour code, as the character limit counts tags toward itself, so for example;

[b]Alanis Morissette[/b]
[url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210215][color=darkorange]Jagged Little Pill[/color][/url]

is not just 32 characters, but 138 (with a streamlined link), and so the posts race towards 10,000 characters much more quickly. At the least it'd be helpful to change the colour to something slightly less lengthy (darkorange is a prohibitive 10; "red" or looks tempting), or maybe something else entirely to denote Rolling Stone reviews. Not sure what though, so, any ideas?

What would it entail to change things around so that character limits just wouldn't be a problem? Making a new post and shifting everything sideways a bit?

I'm also a complete idiot that can't count, and I've just realised that actually the right number would be 14. So sorry for being a pain :(

[QUOTE=Med57]Doing it in red definitely sounds like a good idea...failing that, could you put links to Rolling Stone 500 albums in bold or something?

[B] [ /B], only done properly, I think I'm right in saying takes up less characters than any colour.[/QUOTE]
I was thinking that - but the names are in bold, so it'd look confusing. And italics may be a little [I]too[/I] subtle.

[QUOTE=Iai]What would it entail to change things around so that character limits just wouldn't be a problem? Making a new post and shifting everything sideways a bit?[/QUOTE]

Something like that. The last one took six hours, although at the time I was simultaneously alphabetising it and adding some three or four months of un-added reviews. I'd still rather avoid it.

Yeah, I thought that, and came up with the same possible problems as Iai. Bold is looking tempting though.

Not a problem, I'd rather have a little extra work to do and have it all correct, than not. I'll go fix it in a minute.


EDIT: to the middle point - or asterisks either side of the link, or something.

No.

Unless you are Pixiesfanyo, which I can't remember, you probably won't get it. He's been wanting that review for a very long time and will probably dibs it on the release day.

I like the asterisks.

Haha......I got your Med57 quote confused and thought it said Ned.....:lol:

I haven't listened to the leak yet. I want to wait until I can get the real thing. There's just something about hearing the whole thing with the ideal quality in the correct order all at once that appeals to me.

I'll buy it when it comes out, but I still got the leak. I wonder if they made it 88 minutes just so it was harder to burn to CD-R? Oh well, it's on the good ol' Zen

[QUOTE=Med57]You seem to be asking for an e-slap. :evil:[/QUOTE]
You really should have changed your name to 30743262. Or whatever the mod's name is, with a '2' on the end. :)

It won't be 88 minutes. It's impossible to get that much music on to an audio CD. It's either a double CD, or they'll edit it before the release.

Best suggestion ever.

I've done the first post with RS albums in asterisks. Let me know what you think. More asterisks, should I try bold, etc.

Also (credit to The Ashtray Girl for this), about streamlining links, does anyone know if there's any difference, in hyperlinking like this between starting links;

[url]http://www.musici[/url].. (what they are at the moment)
[url]http://musici[/url]..
[url]www.musici[/url]..

If either of the second two could be used without disadvantage, it would help quite a bit. I'll investigate myself if no one knows, but I thought I might as well ask, see if I can be saved the trouble.

/lazy.

Getting rid of the HTTP is a BAD idea. The second one should work though.

If you put [url]www.blahblahblah[/url], it should automatically put the HTTP in when you click it

I'll try out a few different ways on the first post, then. What about the asterisks?

Tell you what Bartender - would it be easier if another thread was made just for the Top 500 Albums? Get rid of all the indication of them on the main list, and include a link at the bottom to this new thread. That thread could then just have the Top 500 copied over from the current Can All 500 Be Reviewed thread, with links to the reviews, and the names of the albums that have yet to be done, without links.

I'll make the thread for you if you want.
