UPDATES
I've been working on the site for the last couple of days writing the code for the tune database. If you have had any strange error messages when trying to post, don't worry - they should be fixed now.
When a post is made in the "Compositions" or "Public Domain Tunes" fourm you now get the option to enter the tune information into the database. This information is displayed at the top of the post.
All I have to do now is to write a new page which will allow people to search the database, and perhaps an alphabetical listing. Should mangage to do that this week...

Tune Database Completed
If you look at the top of the page you will see a menu item which take you to the "Tune Database" page. This allows you to search all the tunes in the "Tune Files" category. The search is pretty simple right now, but I will add more advanced features as time goes on.

A couple of small bug fixes
I've fixed a couple of small bugs:
+ The search in the Tune Database now automatically uses wildcards so make the search easier to use.
+ Fixed a bug where if you were creating a new post in the compostitions forum and were attatching a tune, the tune database fields were lost when the page refreshed.

Invasion of the spam bots.
I noticed a few dodgy looking username registrations with their websites pointing to totally unrelated commercial/scam websites. Turns out the spammers are at it again with a spam robot that targets this forum software and registers users with a certain website in an attempt to push up their rankings in Google.
Luckily I found and applied a modification which should keep the bot's out. Now when someone registers they have to type in a validation code (which the bot's can't read).
So we are safe from the spam bots again.....untill the next time..........

I've updated the Tune Renamer utility (to version 1.1) so it now works with PiobMaster files. The utility can be downloaded from the "Software Downloads" forum.

New hosting
If you have been having problems getting this site over the past few days then my appologies. I was upgrading my hosting package to get more bandwidth and disk space and ended up having to resore the site from a backup.
Anyway - things should be working properly again.
I've added a couple of new forums - a drum score request forum and a picture post forum. Have fun

Ahhhh - thats better! My web site hosts kindly migrated the site to another of their servers and things seem to be running a lot better now.
A few recent additions to the site:
+ Added a drum score request forum.
+ Added the "Piping Picture Post" - share your pictures with us!
+ Added a "Make a Donation" button so you can help me by contributing to the running costs of the site.

Changing servers
Hi,
Sometime over the next week I will be moving the site to a different hosting server. During that period there may be times when the site is not accessible.
The address of the site will remain unchanged at www.viperpiper.org
I'll post another update when the move is finished.
