The new Anaïs Mitchell is very enjoyable, but a bit too samey to be great. The other voices and the concept really saved Hadestown from this problem but Young Man in America doesn't have those things.

Sinnerman, because it just overpowers Death and the Maiden.

Damn, The National would've been my #1, but I forgot to vote. Wouldn't have made a difference though.

That video is private nic. But if you make it public I'll add it to the first post.

Okay, yeah, it seems like it just doesn't work. I'll get back to you later today. Edit: Alright, I have fixed it and simplified the embedding method. All you need to do is copy the link in the URL-bar, i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk3mAX5xdxo and put that between the youtube brackets. You do ...

You still need to use the full embed code, so you can change the size of the video. Simply put the embed code in between the [youtube] brackets.

oh no, not my 2 picks against each other ! (bracket 4) Well at least I'm sure one of them will pass haha It's surprising that this is (I think) the first time this has happened since I have completely ignored who nominates the songs in coming up with the brackets. But yeah, I like that you're think...

I've added custom phpBB codes for both sized images as well as YouTube videos, buttons (and small instructions when you hover over the buttons) for which you will find when you make a new post. Also, if you spot a spam post you can notify a moderator by using the report option (the ! ) above that pa...

I accidentally allowed registration without email confirmation, that led to quite a few spam accounts being created. I deleted the users though.

Henrik basically has two options for the old boards, a free forum or a premium option for which he has to pay money. The free forum only allows a small number of topics, so he currently has the premium boards but they run out in August, at which time all oldest posts will be deleted until there are ...

2. AC/DC
3. Van Halen

All lists posted in the old forum have already been counted, please only vote here if you haven't voted already. You can post a list of anywhere between 5 and 20 films (or more, but only 20 will be counted) from the year we're covering. The deciding factor in terms of release dates is the RYM list ...

Yeah, that would be good.

That is entirely correct Gillingham.

It would be best if you could copy all the lists into one single topic for every year. That way all links on acclaimedmusic.net can point to one topic on these boards; the links to the old forum will be useless in the future so we don't need those. Oh, and please post them in the EOY archives forum....

I sent you an email with some spreadsheets to help you out Moonbeam!

If you have a look at the "Films.." section, you can see how I did it with the film poll. That's probably the ideal option, because people will tend to have put quite a lot of work into the polls. For the older polls where there is less layout I'd say you can simply copy the text.

Perfect!

The html layout we used on the old boards does not work on these new boards for security purposes, so you will have to convert some of the layout. This should be pretty simple if you just use the 'Replace' function in Word or Wordpad. Here are some common tags that may need to be changed: <a href=ww...

While several people have already helped out a ton (thanks, Zorg, Listy, nicolas, Gillingham, Moonbeam--hope I'm not forgetting anyone here) there is still some work to be done. For the people who have claimed one of the things to be transferred, please let me know if you're still planning to do so....
