I hope everyone can take advantage of the Pink Floyd I just posted. Please feel free to request something, and if I have it , I'll get it upped as soon as possible.
Thanks to our fearless leader for helping me get through all the start up jitters.
Regards,
oldgoalie

Very nicely done!
We do, however, like to follow some conventions. Look at some of the other posted albums and follow their lead. Generally, the title should contain [Album]. It may seem a bit odd in a section that is filled with albums, but you could also post [Single], [Bonus CD], or [Misc. Tracks] and it helps to understand what you are looking at in the "View New Posts" list. CDUniverse.com is a good source for album images and track lists.
I hope this helps you some and I hope you keep up the great work. I am a big fan of Floyd, so thanks for the uploads. I'll be busy downloading for a while now. :)

Because it is both my desire for great presentation and a great pat on the back, I'll help you tidy up a few of the posts as st4 suggested...It may seem a bit anal, but hey...That's what you signed up for right..? :P
As the others have said, AWESOME fucking job my friend, thanks for the efforts and the Pink Floyd..!
I've never used CD Universe, but using the search plugin for Amazon in Firefox is awesome...It has all the information you could want as well as image art, which may be able to be hotlinked...I just use tinypic.com for album art....
Like for 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' :

Which I tidy'd up just now:

That's just how I do it, HL65 does is a bit different:

Whatever suits you is fine, nobody is going to flame you for not following the format, lol...
Here is the BB Code that I use:

I just copy, paste, and fill in the blanks as I'm uploading...This forum has a great little feature call drafting, which will essentially allow you to save a post and come back to finish it later...I use it all the time, espeically if I'm uploading through the cue...Just put your infos in while the album is uploading, and then click 'Save' instead of submit...Then when your done uploading, go to your user control panel, click on drafts, and you can edit or submit your post from there...It works for replies as well...
I'm usually doing a million things, so while its on my mind, I do a draft, save it, and then when I calm down, I plug in the URL and post it....
And as always, I'm here to help or on IM...Cheers..!

I've been here a while now and I don't ever remember signing the anal contract!

I have to admit, I feel a little dirty thinking I was a party to that....
