I've seen earlier today that the Forum team has been hard at work in the machine room.
Kudos to the admins, the info page made me smile  ;D

Oh good point. Looks a lot more phone-friendly than before.
I also notice that YouTube shorts now embed automatically. That's new.

However as I type this post whilst using the quote function, I notice that clicking the quote button has sent me down to the bottom of the page to "Quick Reply" Is that meant to happen?

I'm also not sure about the automatic centring of YouTube embeds. Looking at sone of my posts in Now Playing, where I've typed the artist/title, it's set to the left of the page but then the YT clip is centred, so they look out of whack.

Re: the smileys under our avatar, are they based on post numbers, or thanks or something else? Oh wait, they're not smileys they're yellow C's for Chems?

PS I don't believe those new rules are actually new, I think Y'all just didn't read 'em before.

Thank you all for your feedback. Glad you like it so far. It's been the first time ever I've done this coding stuff, so hopefuily I didn't botch up too much and everything is going as smoothly as possible.

Yes, this is intentional, I believe, as Simple Machines Forum (SMF) apparently decided that in their newest update the quick reply is now an always-there feature (formerly was collapsible).

Yeah, this one's on me (same for tweets and instagram posts). I thought it was nicer to have it centered automatically and I noticed that Pumisher is doing that every time so I wanted to spare him the effort. But I can reverse it if that's wanted, no problem.

These are the normal "badges" you get when reaching a certain amount of posts, just like on the pervious version. While I was experimenting with the new vector graphic svg-format that I used throughout the forum (instead of the pixelated old png images) I had this I idea to maybe give them a sort of individual touch. But if you think this looks too silly, I certainly can go back to regular uni-color images.

Haha, yes, these have been the rules for like forever (although I must admit, I hadn't read them either or forgot about them). Just touched up the formatting a little. WhiteNoise should get all the credit for it, I believe.

In the weeks prior to the update, I noticed that when we previewed our posts, we could see any embeds as actual embeds in the post (rather than just as links). Perhaps that was an update by Simple Machines?
But now the forum has gone back to showing embeds as links (which it used to do before a few a weeks ago).
I wonder if it's possible to show those links as embeds in the preview page again?

*EDIT* Oh I've only just clicked the theme button on the home page and got those psychedelic Dissolve visuals/colours. Am I slow to this or has it just been added?

Hm, I wasn't aware. I will ask the mod creator if the embedder is supposed to fetch media in preview as well.

Edit: Can confirm that embeds in previews has been removed so far by the creator as it apparently caused some issues.

@Csar - The new forum looks incredible!

Of course, I didn't feel like trying something new or professional looking when I signed in today after being away for the holidays because it is punk rock to like the old stuff for old heads, but I am overwhelmed with the work that has been put in.

Thanks to all involved!

I don't need Listen To Your Heart explained as it's one of my (and @Enjoyed 's) favourite sample uses in a Chems track (and weren't Roxette kind to allow it?!).
But my admission is: I've forgotten where "It's the Lifestyle We're Living" comes from.

Maybe we could have No-Judgement-January where we all ask things or admit things we don't/didn't know about the Chems...


PS: I think "You Will Live Again" should be "Yeah, we'll live again"

But my admission is: I've forgotten where "It's the Lifestyle We're Living" comes from.
Don't know the origin of the sample, but they have used it live

Don't worry, I think that's an inside joke that goes way back. I joined this nerd group in 2010 or 11 and this is even older than that. Not sure what it's abouth either.

Edit: Oh, I missed the part that it's an acutal receipe. I've seen it referenced now  and then and always thought it was some kind of inside joke.

I think it might be a good time to give We Are The Night a spin

HAH! Found it. In my head AMMC always was an complete instrumental, that's why i never took it into consideration.

A bit offtopic (https://forum.thechembase.com/index.php/topic,729.0.html):







Where can i delete attachments? Found out







Oh, and you ( @Csar ) have included "Ouhmmmm Beya-deh. Ahhhhhh Yeah!" but not "Oh, yeah, here we go c'mon!" which is one of the best intros to a song they've made?

I've added all of your suggestions but this one since you sounded unsure whether it was phrased like this. And I wasn't sure what it was supposed to be off the top of my head. Gonna be added.

I've never seen Hannah either, but I have seen 'Hanna'! ;)


Honestly, when 'Hanna' was announced and I saw the trailer I thought it was going to horribly forgettable. It took me a while but I streamed the movie via HBO GO and the movie actually wasn't half bad! I actually thought a lot of the scenes were pretty well shot, and the soundtrack is damn good! Container park scene is frickin' awesome, as is the track!

I think there may be more to Jerk Chicken than Steve Dub's recipe. The Orinoco/Miloco studios are situated on a back road behind where The Old Kent Road (A2) and Tower Bridge Road (which leads to actual Tower Bridge) meet.
I know the area because I worked around there for nearly 14 years. For most of that time I didn't realise that I was working within walking distance of the Chems studio, and that our "work pub" - The Vic was also Orinoco/Miloco's nearest pub, so it was probably their "work pub" as well.
( I worked on Mandela Way. You can see here (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Miloco+Studios/@51.494142,-0.0829731,15z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x48761ba314c9fe95:0x696610c3623cae83!8m2!3d51.494142!4d-0.0829731!16s%2Fg%2F1tk22dl8?entry=ttu) how close that was to Miloco.)

Anyway The Old Kent Road (A2) area has quite a large Carribbean presence and as such, there are a number of restaurants in the area that serve (or sell for take away) Jerk Chicken.
I suspect the Chems availed of these Jerk Chicken restaurants/take-aways whilst working at Orinoco/Miloco.

I bought it on DVD. Overall, I think it's a really easy watch, even if it feels a little low-budget in places.
The performances from Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett keep you engaged, and the soundtrack really does propel the film along. Gotta be seen!

Now can someone please tell me all about "It's The Lifestyle We're Living". And also what was @Enjoyed 's quote from?

EDIT. Oh "lifestyle..." is from this Sven Väth track at 19 secs. And the line has popped up in Chems live shows?

Yup. It's been there every now and then for at least 12 years, mostly after intense build-up, or intros. Check out Don't Think at the end of Believe.

You may want to check out CWU. Perhaps, with some imagination, you can spot the track this is referring to :) Or you can go watch Tomb Raider instead ;) wink wink, nod nod.

Ok, so this is Galaxy Bounce.

Do we know who provided that vocal? Is it a sample?
The credits (https://www.discogs.com/release/24389-The-Chemical-Brothers-Come-With-Us) jump from track 2 to track 5, whilst Galaxy Bounce is track 3.
Beverly Skeete - a vocalist - is listed under Additional Musicians, but it's not clear what track she appears on.
I've tried the Tomb Raider (https://www.discogs.com/release/4581337-Various-Lara-Croft-Tomb-Raider-Music-From-The-Motion-Picture) credits as well, but no joy.

WhoSamped lists ODB/Kelis: "Got Your Money" for the drums, and "Chill-Out!" by Free Expression for the "Huh". But nothing for that chopped up main vocal.
My mind is jumping to Kelis now, but that's probaby just the power of suggestion.
Anyone?

Currently on the Chems insta stories they've re-posted an insta story from Silly Yoshimo (https://www.instagram.com/sillyyoshimo/) who has done the Galaxy Bounce lyrics simply as "Ready? Oh Yeah".
And I think (Japanese?) Yosihimo who is ready for Chems in Tokyo live, may have done a better job with the lyrics than anyone here!

Nope, thats the work of Instagram. If you choose a song for your storie from the library Insta is offering, for most songs you can choose the animated lyrics.
