Site news

During tonight's downtime I've upgraded two key components of Rave Adelaide, the portal and the forum.
Unlike the last upgrade the changes are somewhat more minimal, but there's still a good chance there will be a few bugs that need a fixin', please report all bugs in this thread

The 10th SADMA’s is coming; Monday, June 25th 2007.
Festival Function Centre, Findon.

The South Australian Dance Music Awards is the pinnacle of awards within the
dance music industry.

Held annually, the South Australian Dance Music Awards recognises those who
have endured and worked so hard throughout the course of the year to bring you the best in entertainment throughout South Australia.

Since it’s conception in 1996, the SOUTH AUSTRALIAN DANCE MUSIC AWARDS have been a celebration of the efforts and achievements of our DJS, CLUBS, PROMOTERS, LIVE ACTS, PRODUCERS and more whom set new standards and achievements in their field.

Now in it’s 10th awards year, the SADMA's is continuing to forge the mantle of the only true recognition of outstanding achievement within the Dance Music Industry. Backed by industry associated sponsors and community organisations, each awards year have been sell out events, paving the way for bigger and better production, and venues more suitable to such a prestigious occasion.
For the Dance Music Industry, this is the ‘Night of Nights’ with all the glitz and glamour you would expect from any iconic awards ceremony

For more info go to the official SADMA site http://www.sadancemusicawards.com.au/info.htm

As you may have noticed, Rave Adelaide looks a bit different.
Over the 4th and 5th of August we made some changes to RA.

We upgraded our forums to the latest version of invision and in doing so we made some changes to the look and feel of Rave Adelaide.

Essentially most things are the same but there are some differences

The main difference is the post order. We have reversed the post order and it is now like it is in nearly every other web based forum on the internet. The reason behind this is because the way we had it meant that certain essential forum features would not work.
Now when you enter a thread it will take you automatically to the very last post you read, and you can just continue on from that point rather than searching for where you last read.

For this to work properly from the start, you will all need to mark the forums as "read" which will remove all old thread cookies. To do this all you need to do is CLICK THIS LINK

Also the problem where clicking on a thread took you all the way back to the last page doesnt happen anymore.

You can also quick jump forums through to other forums through a pulldown menu at the bottom of each thread page.

Other changes include the right hand menu is now gone. We have put your personal menu on the left hand side and we have also taken individual forum links out of the main menu.

As its a new upgrade we will be adding more features as we go along and also we do expect there to be bugs or questions that need answers. Please create a thread in "Help & Feedback" if you need help or if you want to let us know of any problems

Thanks
Rave Adelaide Admin Team

Well its still a little under construction , but the Gallery is now back for you guys. About a dozen albums from 2005 are up, including Blind, Revolution and One courtesy of Lightning Chyld. We will endeavour to bring back all of the other albums from 2003 and 2004 in good time. Enjoy!

Welcome back, we hope that most of you coped fine with the down time and that I didn't sent too many into shock with the return date of September 19th (which coincidentaly is National Talk like a pirate day). So perhaps we weren't totally up front and truthful with you, RA was down for a little bit more than just a 'rebuild', we've been talking about upgrading the look and feel for a while now so this was a good time as any.

Unfortunatley due to time constraints we're haven't been able to implement everything that we had hoped to, and new modules will be appearing over the next couple of weeks, what we do have for you though is a totally new look, latest stable version of Invision Board, a great little CMS driving the front of house, shoutbox, chatroom, Games Arcade to waste your working day, a brand spanking new shop and pretty icons. Before you all panic, yes the gallery is missing but this is only temporary and will be back soon as well as a revamped navigation system for quick forum access.

With most of the 'back-end' work done we welcome you back and would love to hear feedback, things you love, things you hate, changes you would like made, leave a comment and let us know.
