Music Autograph Forum should be made that would be cool

id be up for that, theres one for sports so why not music?

Could we do that?

I know that this thread is kind of old but a music autograph forum would be cool because many people write to musicians & get autographs from them.

There is already a sports forum so why not have a music autograph forum.

i love that idea! thatd be really cool


theres a new version of fanmail.biz coming soon right? does anyone know when its coming?

yeah I'd like that too!

a new version? cant wait

Hey everyone

The new version of the forum should be available in January 2007. We are waiting on the next version of phpBB to be released.

The next version of the forum will include the following new forums:

- Music
- Film/TV

There may be some other new sections, but these are the ones I am aware of.

There will also be many new features added to the site! {thumb2}

Joel

great! im looking forward to the new year!

Wow, a Film/TV forum would be awesome

Will anything else change on the site, colors and layout etc?

Thanks Joel

Hey again

The default layout will be pretty similar, with some minor changes. Admins can upload different skins or change the color schemes if they want to. I’ll see if I can upload a screenshot of the default version of phpBB 3.0 in a few minutes.

Also, as you know, we should have a new logo for the new site.

I know that admin is working to get an indicator which will let you know if a feedback posting contains a scan. Some other custom ‘MODS’ may be added, I do not know of any more in the works.

Basic features of phpBB 3.0 include:

There are also some really cool administration and moderation tools which I’m really psyched about.

Please note that admin reserves the right to limit/remove any of the above features as well as the right to add new features.

That being said, I’ve used a beta version of phpBB 3.0 before and it’s really cool.

Expect more news about the new version of the forum in the next couple of weeks. ;)
