Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Not to be picky but what is the exact URL? Just link to it here and I will try to add it as one of the images today.

Spooky and I primarily use Mozilla which should be behaviorally the same as Firefox since they share the same codebase. The Javascript loads an image below those two links. Either you have disabled Javascript or loading images automatically.

I tested it in Inetnet Explorer and Mozilla 1.7.

Spooky and I just got new phones which support downloadable ringtones. From what I can tell, a lot of phones support downloading MIDI files from a PC with an infrared port. My laptop has one but our desktop PC doesn't. I found some EC (along with the Smurf and Monty Python themes) as MIDI files and ...

It is at http://www.elviscostellofans.com not one of the sub-pages. It has JavaScript to do the random lookup of images. Do you have that disabled in your browser?

I liked that one also. I found some others I liked a lot but the resolution on them wasn't that good.

Happy Birthday, Pip! Have a wonderful day. Maybe we'll eventually get up there to see you in your new hangout.

All you guys who live around there - make sure Pip has some party time tonight.

OK .. OK .. I implemented a new top level index page. It now has a list of about 10 EC images from around the net. No real logic went into picking them. I selected the first nice looking images that showed up quickly in a Google Images search (you know how it works, Crow). It appears that an image n...

Happy Birthday! Hope the day was all you wanted it to be.

Okay, we're democratic here - we can change the pic. Either post your favorite Elvis pic or post a link to where we can find it and let's vote on a new entry page. I had also thought of setting up a java type page where the picture would randomly change, rotating a small selection of EC pics. That w...

Okay, obviously this needs some work so that we can coordinate times to meet, etc. I want to add a link button to the chat on the main page of the board, but I need to finish the upgrades before I do that. Perhaps we can set up some times for chat meets, or every hour on the hour, or something. Any ...

Some php forums include "currently listening to..." as part of the user profile, and the song title is displayed automatically when you post. For this board it would be just as appropriate to have "currently reading..." "currently writing..." "currently contemplat...

I found at least one list. This article ( http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/179304_cdupdate24.html ) has some details with a link to the list of CDs provided to the Puget Sound Educational Services District. Read the article.. it provides highlights like 413 copies of "Greatest Hits 1971"...

I didn't write most of the text in the rules about CDs. I got that from an Elvis trading group on Yahoo. And they even mention getting them from some other group. So if there is some wording that can be improved, it is open for change. My understanding was that all that was allowed was to provide en...

Yes I do live in Alabama and nothing like this really surprises me. Normally these are just stories that upset me. This one turns out to be deeper and even more disturbing. Based upon what I have read since I found that CNN article, no I don't believe any EC CDs were in the list. According to http:/...

Great minds think alike, Storm. I had already planned on that, and just finished adding it to the main page. The Trading Post is now open. Please read the rules and play by them so that our site doesn't end up with any "cease and desist" orders. I think overall this will be a nice addition...

This topic is for offers to trade or give away EC music and memoabilia. We do not condone illegal activity such as for-profit bootlegging or unauthorized duplication of commercially available recordings. Improper posts, requests, or offers will be removed by the administration. Rules for Music: Musi...

I was shocked to see that the attorney generals of Kansas and Indiana have put out lists of CDs that must be removed from public libraries in their states. Quoting from this report: http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Music/08/06/library.cdsettlement.ap/index.html "... the Kansas attorney general h...

The bandwidth comes from the site that is linked to. We only get docked for the size of the characters in the link, not the size of the image. so don't worry about linking to things that are external. If the links move, I know that old posts can be edited to correct them. If someone rehosts their si...

Then we are saying the same thing. The idea of a vine/weave where physical media is traded for free is OK also and we probably should have that as well. Do we want this as a thread or topic?

I think this is a very classic album cover in the style of the other EC (Eric Clapton) and Slowhand if memory serves. I am sure there are other LPs out there that use a similar motive. But we have to be somewhere in 15 minutes so can't do much more than post and run.

Ignoring legalities for a moment, this site does not have the disk space or bandwidth available to support this. I want to even watch the impact of adding chat to the site since that will count against our bandwith as well. Some months we already use 80% of our bandwidth. 10-20 downloads of songs an...

Just an FYI that http://chat.elviscostellofans.com now works and is a bit easier to remember than http://www.elviscostellofans.com/chat/.

Remember, we are open to other suggestions that would improve "The Board."

Spooky and I wonder the same thing. The illness was some type of black mold induced lung infection. It can be nasty. It is more common in the US NE where the house are older and the UK from what I remember. A link with some info is http://www.applesforhealth.com/HealthyFeatures/blamolpoth5.html . I ...

And in related news, Dave Chappelle got a big contract with Viacom and Comedy Central which included "a multimillion-dollar deal at Paramount Pictures to star in an adaptation of the autobiography of Rick James, the funk veteran whom Chappelle has lampooned on "Chappelle's Show.""...

I have been asked by a couple of people about hardware firewalls/routers. Back to school time is hectic around here and I apologize for the delay. I haven't read all of this and want to add some more links and personal thoughts but this looks like it is a good introduction to the issues. http://www....
