Just replied to a review of Goa Vibes Vol. 1. Discogs says it's from 1995, but it's in the 1996 section. Am I wrong? Am I right? Or am I just dreaming?

 

Yes, I worked a tune from Erasure into my request for you to move the thread.

 

You're welcome.

I see more ads, but no search?

I still see search in both IP.Board and Deviant3. What browser and skin are you using? There should be a search box at the top of the page.

Using Firefox and the Deviant.

Same here. My search box is right at the top above the psynews logo, at the left-hand-side of the bar with the "Sign Out" button. Is yours not there? Can you provide a screenshot?

From Psynews's Faceboook (inbox):

 

Hello there,

Can you please approve my user "Anjuna" in the forums? I would like to post my new compilation released in Anjuna Records.

Ps. there's a psynews credit in this album for this great community

Rgs,

i've a question and I don't know where to ask it, so I do it here.

 

Shall I add some tags when writting some reviews (and opening a new topic for it) ?

It may look as stupid question, but like the autor and the title of the album is already in the title of the topic, I dont know what to add as Tags.

Hey darkill, every reviewer does things differently, but I would recommend giving credit where credit is due by tagging and labeling inside the post.

 

Examples of information to give:

 

Album Artist

Album Title

Album Label

Artwork Artist

Mastering

Genre(s)

Date

File Size

 

----

 

Also, admins, how do users get that "Family of Light" added to their account? :P

It takes years of work, I'm afraid. AFAIK there are only three people who have it.

I concur with Rotwang.

You have to be super awesome. ;)

 

Honestly, the Family of Light members were chosen for specific reasons.

It's not you, it's the forum software.

 

Not sure where/what the plain text editor is !

In the top-left-hand corner of the reply box, there is a button that looks like a light switch. Press that to toggle between the rich-text editor and the plain-text one. The rich-text editor tries (and fails) to be clever with stuff you paste into it, and in particular if you paste something that looks like a URL into it then it sometimes (but not always, for reasons that escape me) puts tags around it. If it's a YouTube video the tags override the embedding function.

Ok, since I already give label name, album and artist title in topic's name, I will add all these as tags as well.

 

What do you means by mastering ? You means the guy who has done the mastering ?

Right, there is usually a specific person chosen for mastering since most producers do not do it themselves.

I have an opinion and a suggestion. I think that the Off-Topic forum is great, you see there's a lot of people who post most times there than in other places in Psynews. But the 'Movies', 'Books', 'Arts' and 'Religion' sub-forums are not so visited and thus not so appreciated as they cold. I think it's because they're separated from the rest of the other topics, it's just some centimeters in a computer, but it's a barrier. Looks like a separate room in a library. My suggestion is to merge the sub-forum, but keeping them always in the top. Another suggestion is to create a 'Politics and economy' sub-forum. My 2 cents.

Regarding the merging, I tend to agree. Those fora came about after the old off-topic closed, but mars wanted people to still be able to discuss some non-psytrance topics without the chaos of the old OT. Now that the new OT exists I don't see why those other subfora are still necessary. It's not up to me, but I'll run your suggestion past the rest of the mod team.
