Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I think I have Flash enabled. The syntax is [flash=width,height]URL[/flash] I can't seem to find a good example and make it automatically start but this seems to work once you right click and select Play. I tried to get some Britney Spears game for you all but that never worked for me. :) http://www...

This is new to me as well.

The complete documentation is online here: http://www.phpbb.com/support/documentation/3.0/

And there is a Flash tutorial here: http://www.phpbb.com/support/tutorials/3.0/

Maybe one of those will help.

After downloading 5 CD images, burning them, and testing them twice, the operating system has been upgraded to GNU/Linux Fedora 8. It appears that the site is back up. As with any upgrade, there are some things I need to tidy up. I am now in the process of dealing with those. There may or may not be...

Go to the User Control Panel > Edit Profile > Upload from your machine and select an avatar from your local hard disk. It is possible that the avatar does not meet the current requirements. minimum dimensions - 20x20 pixels maximum dimensions - 80x80 pixels size - 16 Kbytes Notice the use of BBCode ...

There was a little time after the upgrade where we didn't have the search index rebuilt. Try your search again and let me know. Maybe I haven't clicked the right boxes. * <sigh> I was also planning an operating system upgrade for this week but the server only has a CD-RW drive and Fedora Linux now c...

There are definitely a LOT of new features. The attachments feature should be handy. There is also some chat capability which I need to look into. I noticed there is a check for size limits on signature images. I will be slowly investigating the new features.

That's nice but certainly not necessary. I was just curious. Was it good?

Yep. UK Only.

Check out the new attachments feature. I used it to upload a family Christmas photo in the Photo Gallery.

This is a picture of the Spooky family visiting Santa Claus at a local doctor's house. It is a very festive scene including live reindeer.

Note: It is also a test of the attachment feature of the new board software.

Well Spooky and I have confirmed one thing -- the user uploaded avatars do not appear to have been automatically transferred as part of the upgrade. The easiest option is to upload the Avatar again via the User Control Panel > Edit Avatar menu. If you don't have your avatar image anymore, the old on...

Well the basic upgrade of The Board has happened and it looks OK from here. There is no customization yet so we will have to wait for that. The default style looks a bit fresher to me. For sure, we could use a replacement for http://www.elviscostellofans.com/phpBB2/styles/prosilver/imageset/site_log...

You may not know it but Santa traditionally visits Polish homes on Christmas Eve. He must love us. 8) Merry Christmas to all !! He comes here the night of the 24th also. Is it different elsewhere? Do you have the tradition of a nativity scene with the 3 kings starting away from the manger (like at ...

Although we haven't gotten it out yet this year, Spooky and I really enjoy Phil Spector's Christmas Album. It is funny knowing Sonny Bono was the drummer on it and we just try to ignore the creepy abusive person that he became.

Although our kids are a bit big for this now, I did it for my nephew last year. A couple of years ago they had video of holiday greetings from celebrities and Ringo was one of them. I don't see that video now. But he was last sighted in New Brunswick so I guess it is getting close for me and Mrs Spo...

You Brits have much better work parties than I have ever been to.

Arabella Spencer-Churchill, granddaughter of Winston Churchill and founder of the Glastonbury Festival, has passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 58. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/12/21/churchill.granddaughter.ap/index.html EC gets a passing reference as someone who has played the ...

Thanks for the encouragement.

The first project now is just to finish shopping.

Hi, I plan to upgrade both the Operating System and Board Software during the Christmas holidays. There has been a major upgrade to the phpBB software we use to operate The Board and it is time we moved to it. With this major upgrade, I am hoping to refresh the look of the site a bit. So there may b...

Happy Birthday! I hope your 18th goes better than mine did.

Spooky speaks very highly of you.

See http://www.elviscostellofans.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6774 Wow!! What a trip!! It looks like you had a great time and saw some great music live. Not to be picky but is there a torrent yet of the 28 Oct show with Suit of Lights? Spooky was excited about that. Maybe someday we will all be able ...

Hi,

We had a bad storm here overnight and lost power for about 3 hours.

There were no black helicopters, free masons, or Illuminati involved in this outage.

Even better than Bruce from the 80's -- Bruce from the 70's!

But I want to know who those old men are on the cover? It is hard to believe that could be the E-Street Band.

Apparently PayPal has something broken right now. The one time donation with no specific amount is just not working. I regenerated the button multiple times. If you put a specific donation amount, you get a valid click through. I just went ahead and added the USD5 subscription to the top page since ...

Fixed. As best I can tell, something expired and I needed to get a new magic key to send with the paypal click through. Looking back at my original post, we are now at about 32 months of hosting the site in our house. The same computer and internet connection are also hosting JohnE's Wiki. That requ...
