not that i like the asutralian flag, but i do hate the american, in which case is it worth getting rid of the stars and putting in the southern cross or something to show this is an australian board?

I see your point. But we are just using the promo pictures we've got, just to brighten the place up. We are working on a more Australian design when we've got some time.

or maybe if you want to sweap it around every now and then you could have it change each time it loads? say have a pic of each member, and maybe one of ginger and.. umm... guitar dude and swap the 5 around or something like that?
edit: its jeff ;D

oh geez guys, i didn't think this would cause everybody to go wah wah about it. no offence, but I just thought I would put up the current promo shots, because its a great shot of Billy. Just with the album coming out in the next few weeks I thought it would be nice to celebrate the artwork and style of the album. Plus this helps with the promotion works we are doing at the moment - we need to promote Zeitgeist as much as possible. Trev, are you going to ask Netphoria to update their Adore era pic? ... that doesn't have each original member. Also Scott, I can't go randomised images. It doesn't support the javascript that I need to do it, its something I would love to do. The banner will be changing on a monthly or so basis, just so its like a fresh look for the board. So things don't get boring.

I don't know what people are complaining about, it's a great pic of Billy (the lighting etc) and it suits the rest of the board...

Guys, Ozphoria takes a lot of work and we're trying to promote the band and Zeitgeist.
What better way than to use the official promo shots for that purpose?

jesus, i wasnt bagging it.. or complaining or anything.. it was one little suggestion, (and for the record i like it.. if it didnt look good they wouldnt use it officially) and after you wrote in the other thread simon about wanting to 'swap it around every now and then' i thought that might be the easiest option just making the MB change it rather then you ahving to change the script whenever you want a change...

Hey Everybody. We have added a new feature where we are now able to embed YouTube videos into our posts. It only supports YouTube, not other flash players like MySpace. But everything is pretty much on YouTube. Ok so to make the post just do the following: 1. You can click the button or just type ["yt"] ["/yt"] - without the quotes. 2. Copy and paste the youtube video ID in between the tags, so with this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KswlLsyoVn8You would just get the KswlLsyoVn8 part of the link. 3. Then you have this:

Alrighty, another new update to the board. We've wanted to do this one for a while, we think it will be really handy. Its a spoiler post, Im sure you've seen it around at other forums. It comes in really handy if you want to mention something about a movie, book, album, tv show - anything really! But you don't want to post something that could spoil it for people that haven't seen that show, heard that album, watched that movie etc. You can post your post in a spoiler tag. (there is a button just above the smilies or you can type: [_spoiler_][_/spoiler_] (without the underscores) This is what you end up with:
THIS IS A SPOILER!

Any questions just let us know. Simon.

you'll now notice you don't have to be logged in to view the board, but do need to still be logged in to post on the board.
we did this so that the board can start to be indexed by search engines, which means more traffic for the site.

i've cleaned up the tour discussion and put all the residency shows in a sub forum, split by the venue: The Orange Peel and The Filmore
Just for some ease of access, cos there will be still a lot of videos and audio still to come out
