January 2, 201411 yr comment_173870 As soon as the frosts have finished for winter, I have pleasure in confirming that TPM will be growing a flower bed celebrating 10 years, similar to this one....
January 3, 201411 yr comment_173980 not sure whether it's just my internet settings, but don't seem to have the issue with any other websites... is when I click on a link on the forums it replaces the page with the link, so after looking through whatever is on the link, am having to close it down or keep pressing back which is somewhat annoying haha - anyone else get this problem?

So you're wanting to open links in another tab, if I'm understanding correctly? Hold ctrl key and left click on the link and it'll open in a new tab.

January 3, 201411 yr comment_173987 might as well ask... I've created a photobucket and flickr accounts and uploaded pictures so I could post it on the forum, but I go to embed the photo with the url, and then when I post says something along the lines of error, this url cannot be added? any idea why as I'm sure that's what someone told me to do before?
January 3, 201411 yr comment_173996 Make sure the photos are not set to private. On photobucket use the second link down of the list of four to the right of the picture, marked 'Direct'. On your post here click the little thing that looks like a picture underneath the smiley and paste the link there. If that doesn't do it it'll need someone more tecy than me!
February 18, 201411 yr comment_176775 Recently I've been reading a few articles from Theme Park Tourist (https://www.facebook.com/ThemeParkTourist?fref=ts ) and they've been really interesting reads. That got me thinking, there's a lot of people on here who have creative ideas and are good at writing blog posts, so why don't we have something similar on TPM? I'm sure a few people would be up for writing articles for TPM, they wouldn't specifically have to be Thorpe related, but could be about any Theme Park news/views. I know we have the 'blogs' system, but this could be something seperate that could go on the TPM website, it would definitely get more people using the website as well as the forums and could even bring more members on board if these articles are posted on our Facebook page. We could have people writing about what rides they'd like to see at parks, the future of the theme park industry etc. I think it'd be really interesting and we'd get some cracking articles. Just an idea I had, thoughts?
February 18, 201411 yr comment_176783 One thing I would love would be when you get a notification saying _____ has liked your post in this topic it would be great if clicking on the link took you to your post and not just page 1 of the topic

It's a good idea and natural progression as people start to visit more parks but I'm not sure how impartial certain article topics could be while keeping the Official Fansite tag.
February 18, 201411 yr comment_176812 It's a good idea and natural progression as people start to visit more parks but I'm not sure how impartial certain article topics could be while keeping the Official Fansite tag. Perhaps if articles are moderated so it has to go through the mod/admin team first, then that wouldn't be a problem.
February 18, 201411 yr comment_176813 But any park review of something say in contintental Europe would make Thorpe look rubbish by comparison and hence bad for the 'official fansite' moniker... It's a fair worry from Turtle there...
February 18, 201411 yr comment_176817 Turtle does indeed raise a good point, but I think Ryan's idea could still work. We have the blog features on the forum and, no doubt, if someone wanted to write a blog entitled 'Why I think Thorpe is rubbish' (or whatever), and give a good argument for why they think that, then it would stay on the forum. The forum itself is all about free speech of course, so there'd be nothing wrong with that. Indeed, I would love to see someone write a good blog post on why they think Thorpe is rubbish (if that's their view), as it would no doubt lead to a good debate. But I think having articles written by members could work as well. Yes, of course, with TPM being the official fansite, it would be unwise for the website to publish an article giving heavy critique of Thorpe, but there could be articles praising Thorpe, people giving their views on what they'd realistically like to see at Thorpe in the future, or reviews on other parks, just to mix things up a little bit. It could generate more discussion, leading to more membership on the forum, and then more balanced debate, meaning that we're not going to see 'THORPE PARK IS AMAZING' everywhere and, at the same time, avoid publishing negative-Thorpe articles on the main TPM page. I definitely like the idea and think it could work if the articles were of the right topic. Would love to see it trialled out if the Team think it's a good idea!

February 20, 201411 yr comment_176900 What like Bakken and a review of Furius Baco? Minority issue Has someone limited the amount of pics in posts again? Seems that on my Efteling blog post it decides it doesn't like the coding anymore and leaves the pics as links...
February 20, 201411 yr comment_176904 Hmmm, just tried doing some of my pics manually on the blog post and it still doesn't show them as pics, but links... Silly website...
October 16, 20168 yr comment_243077 Would it be possible to add topic alerts? I'm saying this because some great topics that are basically dead, I can't really revive then without deleting the last post, which I don't like doing (e.g. Instruments). Editing the last post doesn't alert the topic so I was wondering if this could be a possibility.
October 16, 20168 yr comment_243080 There is no problem double posting if you are posting something new and relevant to a topic which just happens to have had nother posts since your last. It's only really annoying if people just finish off a thought they were having instead
October 16, 20168 yr comment_243083 Just now, pluk said: Or not muti quoting. Things like that. I think an alert type system would be a bit of an over complex way of solving the problem. I might be wrong though, I don't know what others think.
