front part of site having a update/upgrade over weekend and so it may be down for a short time if it is be aware that the forum part of site should be still up and running throughout.... hopefully ta mike

ok seems no probs it mainly concerned security and logging in and updating blog shouldnt see anything different unless theres problems the logging in now has to be done via the forum and only covers the forum for now ta mike

just so aware a upgrade will be occuring over the next few hours or so there is a chance that forum may have a few problems while this is going on ta mike

the news/articles section is due to be upgraded in next 24 hrs or so once done will add above as a news item got to be a worthwhile thing, anyone any ideas/thoughts on how site can assist ta mike

what's this then moans against the members or the site if members: every member can comment, reply, pass views on any members post if site: if have any problems with any aspect of sites policy please post up in the site section here /index.php?showforum=8 ta mike

After a look at how the news/articles section( front part of site) is working and the way the forum and rest of site is intergrated, its thought that there is room for improvement. Main concern has been speed of site, ease of use, while offering the best features and content. As felt that not achieving the above , next few days will see a bit of a change

The adverts are from google google scans each page of site and determines what are the keywords on each page (if this case I assume New Orleans is one ) Google then selects "related" adverts and displays them dynamically on the page. Unfortunatly there is always going to be a chance that due to real world occurances and the dynamic way it works, some adverts may not be appropiate. If site considers them offensive they will/have been blocked.

on radio playlists etc, the radio london website has a extensive charts bit form 60s, which is interesting as london based it varies a bit from national ones, and some of the bubblers and djs picks are interesting as well havent link but google should point it out

dunno if its just the retro crowd who are only ones stuck in 1970s, going by posts above seems like some promoters are as well main reason water is recomended to be freely available is due to drug use few clips below dunno what legal side is but would have thought any major event organiser should be aware of stuff like the below and while maybe feel not a major problem or likelyhood, if its good enough for rest of uk, then it should be good enough for soul events 22 Availability of drinking water 2.18 It is important that everyone attending dance events keeps themselves hydrated with water or other non-alcoholic drinks. This is particularly important for those who have consumed alcohol and drugs, especially ecstasy. 2.20 It is therefore imperative that there is free and unrestricted, but monitored, access to cold drinking water at all times. Licensing authorities should be aware that, in order to maximise bar profits, several owners and promoters have turned off water supplies, supplied only warm water or discouraged bar staff from supplying free cold water. The provision of free water is often a standard condition of a licence where dance music is being played and any breach should be considered very seriously.

ta for replies always going to get stuff like this on forum, where quick comments can have 301 meanings and the instantness of it all can lead to sharp replies dont seem any damage done, quite restrained for a monday so gonna take it matter closed

Have to say was sort of suprised to read in this topic that at some events bouncers search and confisicate water out of customers bags and the only source is to pay what seems to be a high price at the bar /index.p...ndpost&p=166877 Many events that I get to nowadays do provide free water when asked. Below govt guide does recommend that free water is made available. Going by aim of guide, myself would say then any major event organiser should ensure free water is available, and allow water to be brought in. Can't think of any valid reasons why this should be a problem Any Thoughts ?? Promoters already taken care of this? unaware? not bothered? Punters views ?? The Safer Clubbing guide contains comprehensive new advice for club owners, dance event promoters and local authority licensing departments on how to ensure the health and safety of anyone attending dance events in England. which recommends that free water is made available

post moved to correct forum

overlooked post or not much interest

ok I know its monday but.... suggest if gonna comment on peoples sales prices then suggest try and do it in a way that doesnt invite a dig back suggest if going to call some one a wkr then do it via pm that way can kick off and do /say what you like without dragging us into it or perhaps it could resolve misunderstandings quickly ta mike
