Suggestions & Ideas you have for the Community

[Pedro]

Yes! In fact, as I write this reply, it says 13 new replies have been posted. At first, I thought it was referring to the message thread to which I'm replying. But now I think it must be total replies to the whole forum. Either that, or it's just a bug in the forum software. Have you updated it recently?

Yes, it was a bug, just solved. Thanks for your reply.

Reading a reply by oldrottenhead made me think about one thing. What if we created a song contest? I mean, people would upload their songs and then everybody would vote based on the song sound quality, originality, etc... Then there would be a Top for the songs listed. The only requirment to participate would be that song is created completely on Micro BR.

Added a cool new mini MP3 player for you to post you work with, now its not needed to download every MP3 to listen to it. Check it out here.

It is basically something like this:

Added support for playing Youtube videos on the posts and added two new avatar packages: Electric Guitars and Acoustic Guitars.

Hope you like!

I think we should have a "Present Yourself"-part in the sub-forum "Music & Other". It's always fun to know a little something about the ones you are discussing with.

Yes, very good idea. I've thought about that as well. Maybe a subforum of Off-Topic?

Thanks

New board created: Introduce yourself.

I feel that there are too many people that never posted and I hope this breaks some ice and make them post.

[Pedro]

Edited almost all the posts in the Post Your Work board to add the MP3 player. Hope you all don't mind.

I'm thinking about creating a new section on the links page for people to put their Myspace, Soundclick, or other website. I think it would be cool...

What do you think?

I would like to see more instructional videos on you tube or something
I find it hard as a newbie to understand the terminology used in the book or the site. E.G. > Panning, mixing etc.

Today I tried to browse the site on Firefox (in Ubuntu) and it showed all wrong: the contacts menu was on the content box and other things were out of place because of that.

Does anybody have a problem using Firefox on Ubuntu?

If anybody sees any bug please email me or post here.

Today I tried to browse the site on Firefox (in Ubuntu) and it showed all wrong: the contacts menu was on the content box and other things were out of place because of that.

I found the solution today. Search for ''msttcorefonts" in Synaptic Package Manager (it's under "Miscellaneous - Graphical (multiverse)") and install it. This installs 11 Microsoft TrueType fonts in Ubuntu. They are:

 - Andale Mono
 - Arial Black
 - Arial (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
 - Comic Sans MS (Bold)
 - Courier New (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
 - Georgia (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
 - Impact
 - Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
 - Trebuchet (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
 - Verdana (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
 - Webdings

After installing these fonts, the site's menus will look the same as they do in Windows.

This will also make lots of other websites look the way they were intended to look if they were designed with these fonts.

Great, thanks a lot 64Guitars!

Its somewhat crazy that Ubuntu isn't packed with such popular TrueType fonts by MS like Arial and Times New Roman.

Thanks again for posting the solution.

I stumbled across this forum the day I got my BR, and you guys pointed me in the right direction even before I got it out of the box. I honestly don't think I'd have got to grips with it using the manual alone, so for me, the tutorials were invaluable.

There's nothing I'd change on here, and I guess it's just up to us members to keep up the interest and involvement...
