Beta testers wanted for new Brighton community music site

[babyshambles]

Evening all.
If any of you could spare some time to help us test a new web site it would be much appreciated.
We know it's a bit ugly and some of the graphics overlap, please ignore that (we intend to fix the templates last, don't worry). What we need to know is what function don't work on the site, so this is where you guys come in, please try and complete one or more of the following tasks:
>sign up as a user
>add an event in the calender e.g. a gig or a club night you know about.
>add the details of a brighton band or dj or group etc
>put an item up for sale in the free classified ads section.

BUT.
Please try to only add real Brighton related content related to music.

When stuff goes wrong please email us or post it on the forum.

the site is at:
beta.b-mu.co.uk

thanks in advance.

once the site is ready it's going to be pretty much handed over to the people of Brighton under the control of community moderators.

features to come soon:
mp3 - any user can post up to 3 tracks they have composed themselves. Other users can listen to the tracks 3 times then have the option to buy the track direct from the artist.

Looks pretty nice.

Signed up although I don't have anything to add I'm afraid.

Will check back in the future though. Particularly interested in the free ads.

Top dog

I should add a problem we know about is in the user database. This particular problem means users have to sign up seperately for the forum.
We will get this fixed.

Techie stuff
The problem arose because the site has had to be re built recently using a different CMS package. We are having problems importing the old forum database, so far we have been able to import threads but not replies, we will get there though, apologies for the delay.

Cheers Bluejuice,

 

[babyshambles]

Thanks alot to the chaps that logged on last night and entered gig content on the site, nice one.
Still need more help if anyone can spare a few minutes.

 

[Easy 10]

I only have VHS. Will this be a problem ?

 

[babyshambles]

yes I'm afraid we cant export the database onto analogue VHS tape, sorry.

 

[desprateseagull]

took a while to load..

might help if the main page said what it;s all about- just the brigthton scene, or music listings, resources etc?

 

[babyshambles]

thanks for the feedback, any one else think it's slow to load?
We will put some explanatory text in there, thanks for that, top feedback.

Thanks to the people who uploaded gig listings at the weekend, nice one.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

I'll try and check the site out tonight if I get a chance.

 

[babyshambles]

cheers D'Angelo,
Please let me know anything that is broken or obvious stuff that is missing.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Easy bro - just trying to put some stuff up on the site, and got this when I tried to put a photo up with my artist bio...


User Error

BAD_PARAM

Invalid input for admin function createhook() in module dynamicdata : Picture = invalid Error Found: No privilege for AddUploads -

Just looking at the rest now...

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Now it won't let me go back and re-enter my stuff without the photo...

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Whats the max size for uploading a photo? Doesn't seem to say anywhere...

 

[re-al]

A really minor thing...
when you sign up it should be 'Create Your Account' rather than clicking on 'new user'
Also once you've signed up the underline of website administrator runs into the blank text, its the little things that matter

+ http://beta.b-mu.co.uk/index.php/admu/ cnt access the extra info

 

[babyshambles]

Thanks alot chaps.
We'll get onto these points today.
We are getting closer to launch everyday with your feedback, cheers.

I suppose the thing to remember about this site is that it is for you, so do let us know anything that you dont like and we'll try and sort it now.

Once again thanks for your support, this is pretty much the only forum in Brighton where people have intelligence! The response we've had in other forums has been terrible.
Come on you seagulls.
