Sorry if this is being discussed elsewhere, but does anyone know what was up with TVF earlier? I tried to go on but got a "We cannot broadcast this forum" page instead trying to direct me to some very good YouTube music. Anyone know what happened?

Generally when some more major database works needs to go on, it's easier to send people to that page than them continue to use the site as things are being updated/changed.

The change yesterday was interrupted by someone at the door as soon as I switched to the message so that's why it was only up for a couple of minutes!

Hello, Im a french high school student and I'm preparing a play about the X factor for my english lessons and I need the musics from the show (theme, beds and stings) so I wondered if you could send me them.

Thank you very much,

Thanks for the reply Asa - I just wanted to make sure it was an intentional slide and not a sign that something had gone hideously wrong! Wink

How is that spam? The person isn't selling anything and as far as you know, you may be the only person to receive it.

I just found it odd that I got sent it, when I've never uploaded X Factor content to this or any other site. Oh well...

It doesn't need to be selling - that person wants something - and that's why he was asking, to see if there was anyone else.

I also get random PMs from people I don't know asking for very specific MP3s, I find it rather odd and quite rude to be honest. If you're going to ask why not use requests?

Also, davidlees, I note you signed up in 2004, do you not remember / were you not the victim of the nightmare days of craiga and his little minions asking CONSTANTLY via PM to swap music? That certainly adds to my distaste for the practice.

Is anyone else getting an error when you try to edit your post?

Having attempted to edit the post three times, it said 'edited 3 times' at the bottom, but the alterations I made weren't actually implemented within the post.

All the posts in the mobile version are blank - just the poster's name shows. Also, would it be possible for the mobile site to be sorted in some manner such as latest post first?

All fine now Andrew and follows the same format as the main site with the latest first.

Nice to see the wap site getting used anyway! I keep meaning to look through the usage logs.

Many thanks for that - especially the sorting. It makes quick checks a lot easier!
