shoshin. Can you see your own name in the 24 hour list? Or is it a quirk that we can see all other members who have logged in except ourselves. Because I can't see my name there yet I am in the 'Online' box above it.

Third of the new remixes (Fred Falke). Racking my brains about that guitar riff. Features in some other famous song but what?

^^^^ I totally understand what you mean about the balance between picture posting and discussion/debate. But it's a difficult one to judge on what is essentially something like a 'Favourite Picture' thread. How much does one discuss before the nature of that thread is changed? It's why I think maybe there should be and out and out Gallery as there is on the other forum which could still have a few comments attached and informative responses. But pictures could also be used in other threads at times to embellish a debate. Like you say, it's about striking a balance and about making the site user friendly for those who want to chat as well as those who want to find a particular photo. Or both.

It's good that we have this discussion. Sometimes we forget how young this forum is so it's natural that it'll be still in the 'tweaking' stage. The two issues are getting visitors to become members and then members to become more pro-active. I wonder if a more prominent 'Welcome to the forum and sign up here' feature would help with the first? Maybe a small sub-section above the main boards? Looking at the Members list, it's surprising how many have made very few or no posts at all. There are even a few whose last visit was on their sign up day. Strange. Why become a member if only to ever view? The balance over discussion and picture threads is one over how this forum see's itself. A place to chat and debate, a gallery of photo's for fans to peruse and reminisce, an archived wealth of ABBA related information to look back on. That last one was a major reason why the loss of A4E stung so much. All of it gone (4E). I don't think there's a lot wrong that a little re-organisation wouldn't help. Sometimes folk need 'steering' in the right direction to what they might enjoy more. Pictures can actually stimulate discussion so I don't think they should be confined to the photo threads. Likewise discussion can be enhanced with a picture now and again. The same with Polls. It would be nice to see more debate on the Official Albums sub board and that may be another section that could be placed more prominently. I know it's been alluded to elsewhere that, in place of A4E, we now have two forums and how they operate alongside each other. There could be two schools of thought about this. One, that it is splitting the numbers that could be involved in one busier site. And Two, that 'more the merrier' is better, there's enough traffic for two and in light of A4E, there is at least a back up should any of these two unfortunately also fold.
You're doing a great job Roxy and mods. Much appreciated here.

Fighting a cold or that old singer's routine to keep the vocal chords in good shape?

That is a terrific shot. Is that the image hanging on the wall of her "apartment" in the video? Yep. And the one in the developing tray right at the end.

Thanks fafner. Always nice to see shots from unusual angles and was disappointed to not have a better image. You've come through again.

Got to go for 'Arrival'. I love how Benny tapped into Scandinavian folk music for this. A lovely connection between the band and their roots.

Midnight Special, October 1976.

^^^^ Agreed on that. Think the 1984 look was a big improvement on the latter ABBA days though. Edgier and she may have been in a 'happier place' too. Whether it was straight hair, wavy or curly perms, the longer the better imo. And the same with Agnetha too.
