Whoa! What happened to the old website?
It’s still all here. We’ve just re-formatted the old and added some new. For the first time we have a search engine, but more importantly we've added a forum where Mixmag readers can communicate with each other. We've also got other exciting plans up our sleeves, so watch this space.

So why do I have to register?
It’s nothing sinister, honest. If you’re registered we can store your details so you don’t need to input your username and e-mail address every time you want to have something to say.

I've registered, but my confirmation e-mail hasn't arrived.
It's likely to have been caught up in a junk mail filter somewhere between leaving us and getting to you. This is especially an issue with some of the larger ISPs (Freeserve, Tiscali and AOL, we're talking about you). So check your spam settings, or try a different e-mail address. If you still don't have any luck, get in touch and we'll sort it out.

Do I need to know geeky code stuff?
Not at all. Links are turned into clickable things automatically, and you can embed YouTube and Google videos either by copying and pasting the address of the page the video is on into your entry, or by using the code they give you.

Do you offer RSS feeds
Yes. The homepage news stories are available as a feed.

Are there any posting guidelines?
Only a few - we trust you.

People who ignore these guidelines run the risk of having posts removed and, after repeated instances, their accounts blocked.

Can I use the forum to plug my new record/mix/club night/website etc.?
Yes, but only in the relevant section of the forum. If you want to advertise on the site, please contact us.

How do I add an image to my forum post?
You need somewhere to host the images yourself. Lots of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) give you some web space as part of the deal, so that's worth checking out. The other option is to find somebody on the web willing to host your pictures for free. There are a few options out there, including http://photobucket.com/, http://groups.msn.com/ and http://www.imageshack.us/

Once you've uploaded your image to the site you've selected, you need to get the URL (address) of the file. It will look something like http://www.foo.com/image.jpg. Some services will automatically generate the code you need to copy to embed the image on another site, but if not, it's easy to get it yourself:

PC:

Mac:

Now just add the address of the image into the field where you write your post or comment on the Mixmag site. You will need to surround the address of the image with a little bit of HTML code, like this:

<img src="http://www.foo.com/image.jpg">

Use the preview button to make sure your image has appeared and looks OK.

Remember:

You mean that’s it?
Yes. Simple, isn’t it? It’s likely that we’ll be making changes to this page as time passes and we learn more about how things work and what you want, however, so it’s worth checking back from time to time.

Hold on a sec, you haven't answered my question!
