Thanks Karine! To be honest, I think it looks a bit more professional than the previous one. And, I love that picture I used for the header :D

I'll post it here too, but you can read the full story about how & why on the front site...

I had to delete/clean my 4Shared account since someone was way too buttonhappy for the "report this as abuse" button... I'm kinda pissed, since I had that account since 2008 and it gave me enough space to make sure alot of live videos and media appearances were available online on Solaced.. and if there's one thing I'd like to keep on Solaced, it's the amount of stuff that's available through download...

But it does mean for now the whole Other Stuff-Multimedia section is down, well at the least the links are. I'm looking for some other site/online sharing drive or anything like that. Anyone has any suggestions? I can't host them on Solaced, I have only 20GB storage space - which is almost full...

I'm sure it'll be all OK soon, there must be another way to make sure my visitors can download Sarah material ;) But for now, I kinda get the feeling someone out there is just trying to make maintaining a good site hard for me...

Hi Ellen! I'm sorry about that, did you found a way to keep your files available? I don't know if it's a good idea, but maybe you could save your downloads for people who registered and get involved in the forums. You could also send the links only upon request. I hope you won't have that problem anymore. :)

I was able to download all the files before I deleted them, and most of the files were already on my external hard drive. I've thought about making something where people have to register before they can download, or send link request, and I think I should be able to do that. The only problem is, I discovered that the one who reported my files as abuse were the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). Never heard of them, they sound kinda official :? It does mean that they'll probably keep checking Solaced for more of that material.. if in anyway I'm sharing files that don't belong to me they're on it, or something....

But I'll figure something out, thanks for thinking with me :)

If it's the RIAA, you'll have to be patient: Sarah is associated with Nettwerk and maybe you heard about that:

They probably hate Nettwerk and everything related to it. If the RIAA decided to block your files, I think you will have to find a better and safer way to share them.

Thanks for sharing that Karine, looks like they take their job way too seriously... But anyway, I guess the multimedia section has to stay offline for a while. I think I'll have to share them just like I'm sharing my bootlegs, I haven't received anything about that (let's hope it stays that way!). Or indeed, something where people have to sign up.... I'm working on it :D

And thanks guys for the support :)

Hey guys,

Last few days I was working on installing some plugin on Wordpress (that on which the website runs) to make a very flashy, more organized and way easier for me to maintain tour archive. It gave me a lot of problems - Karine already mentioned she saw that the site wasn't working, I hope that I didn't bother anybody else with the scary errors! But, I managed to get something working and I wanted your opinion/show you guys what the tour archive is going to look like. For the coming weeks it'll be heavy under construction, which doesn't mean you can't access it but some pages might look weird or won't have the full info. For now I only entered the 1988 shows, under a temporary page. Also, now the shows and Sarah's media appearances are split into two different pages, they'll be now under one page to make searching/downloading stuff from a certain year easier. At least, I think it's easier - what do you guys think?

Here is the page: http://www.solaced.info/?page_id=8406

Yes, it's more clear that way. If I understand correctly, you will merge all concerts and appearances under the Tour page: if I'm correct, I think it's a good idea.
