Hey Omni...I have a suggestion!

Have you ever considered splitting the "Music You Created " forum into different genres?

When somebody posts a new topic they could state the genre of music it belongs to, for example trance, and then this would go into a sub forum marked, say, dance/trance.

I know it`s hard to cover all genres in a few sub forums but I was thinking something along the lines of dance/trance, beats/electronic, ambient/chillout, dnb/hardcore etc.

I just think it`d be a bit easier to find tracks from a specific genre?

Let me know what you guys think?  ;)

Dang, Bliss, you beat me to it.  I was gonna suggest that the Music That You Created board be broken down into sub-boards, but not for different genres.
Instead, I thought it would be cool to break it down into what type of post it was.  I.E.:
1-songs that are directly downloaded from here
2-songs that are linked to elsewhere and
3-YouTube links

While I'm making suggestions, I think it would also be cool to have an option, after clicking on a member's name, to list only the topics he/she made in the Music That You Created board.  Now, you can click a name and, on the page that comes up, you can click to see all of that person's posts, but to quickly get to a list of all of that person's songs would be nice.

actually at the top you can alerady sort songs by last post date, name, topic starter name (artist), amount of replies, etc. However this is an idea I thought about for a while because I never though there would be that many songs uploaded in 8 months. However, the problem is that I would have to listen to each songs again one by one to make sure I am moving them in the right section, not to mention I would need to move them one by one in the first place. I know for example 147 Crew only did DnB except maybe one song and Madnessxxi did rock/metal, though, so those would be easier to move but yeah it might take a while x.x

Maybe if I can find an hack for SMF that allow moving multiple topics at once it will help, or I could wait until SMF 2 is released (altough it could take maybe like a year or two)

147 crew

Yay my very own MUSIC created topic  :D

joke, sounds a good idea though

So many tunes and I can't remember which ones i've listened to, since the site converted all the posts say NEW  ???

DJ_Omnimaga

yeah i didnt liked when this happened. I think somewhere at bottom there is a Mark all topics or forums as read though

147 crew

yeah I think most things here are perfect, I'm not able to cast a vote in the poll sections though??
But I love the fact that when you go to MUSIC created and click started column, I appear 1st and it goes down alphabetically..  :D think I have 65 tunes! Madness, I reckon some could be deleted though

DJ_Omnimaga

i still need to check forum permissions. Unfortunately i can't find a multi moderation mod for SMF, I hope one is released when SMF 2.0 is out

147 crew

no worries, just the fact that you've created a masterpiece such as this is plenty enough, me giving MUSIC2000 9 out of 10 and MUSIC3000 5 I think is of little importance. fun though  :D

Yeah, and, if you click it again, my name comes up first. :)

After some googling I finally found out how to enable inline moderation on SMF forums. This might help me a lot there

DJ_Omnimaga

yeah, I've been searching google ever since this topic was created to figure out if a mod existed and if not then how to enable this feature, and eventually found it

I saw the addition of the child boards and it looks like I get a whole section (almost) all to myself!!!

:D COOL :D

DJ_Omnimaga

yeah some people got entire sections to themselves, or almost XD. 147 Crew is one example and I have more than half of the hardcore section.

Still a lot to sort though o.o

To split the "Music That You Created " thread into different genres is great idea.
Man, it looks really really good! Nice work DJ Omnimaga :thumbup:
Now it is easy to find music that I like without downloading each song.
...let the music flow through your vains...

Hey Omni, just seen the new look, great job man.  ;D

147 crew

Board looks totally sweet, feel a bit alone  :( ..the Dnb I have for company is great though..

Adam-(Pillage) Stick up "when a gladiator.." will ya. Love that track!!!

Going to sort out my posts a little,(as there is so many of them,)with a Before TIMGUL after TIMGUL. As the quality between them and even style is quite different. Also a LAMP symbol for cool tunes and a ? for questionable ones..So that way if you decide to have a look at my stuff you will have a better idea of the track. Hopefully

DJ_Omnimaga

I am wondering why Pillage didnt uploaded Busted Up remixes (hardcore, dnb, eurodance and trance) nor his other DnB tracks o.o
