Mike

The main thrust over last week has been the building of the Event Guide weekly map view Basically every week view/list in the event guide now has a corresponding map view The news article here has more info and details https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/soul-music-news/soul-event-guide-new-weekly-map-view-r5080/ A final glitch has been ironed out thanks to a member making us aware and now the 'map view' should be hopefully 100% As always if you do spot any glitches or do have any feedback then pass it on as most helpful and always appreciated atb mike

A glitch was fixed Some events with incorrect venue details entered were causing following events not to show on some of the maps This has now been resolved and all the listings should be 100% now Thanks to the member for making us aware of this issue, both helpful and much appreciated atb mike

freebasing always gonna be best place for any site questions also a support topic pinned in there https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/434540-site-support-topic/ as this was posted in the main forum will move and merge in a bit on cds if its a one off sale/list no great issues with posting in the record sales if wish however if its going to be a fair few or regular posts then the general sales forum be best sound ok?

on youtube not sure what's the thinking behind the SJ 45s going public to all on youtube before 'official' announcements @Louise any reason? SJ556 Alice Taylor - Sounds Ridiculous

no probs Joan, thanks for the feedback -------------------------------------- a general comment on it all as a example (to me) of one way that the 'review by promoters' can work well, is a recent review here https://www.soul-source.co.uk/events/event/78917-culcheth-two-room-soul-night-special-guest-john-vincent/?do=findReview&review=5356 ok you can always 'wonder' about the amount of stars given, that is unavoidable, but (to me) the wording and the manner of the review do make it a useful 'endnote' from the promoter to the event promotion?

Interesting list posted via x top tv shows all a bit usa 2020+ based imo what changes. adds, takeaways would you say are needed?

can you both take this discussion to pms thanks

Can't really get rid of the stars as the review system is a site wide tool and any edits like that could have a knock on effect elsewhere or in the future Another option would be to remove it completely for events and just say use the comments but as said I do feel it is a feature which does allows members (both punters and people involved) to give a more deliberate viewpoint if wish and so worthwhile I have added the below to show when a 'promoter' has posted a review so in theory all reading should be more aware where the 'take' is coming from Promoters view: Please note the below 'view' was posted by the 'promoter'

Germany, France, Switzerland and Netherlands going to be mine

thanks both of you for taking time to pass on ya views the problem is that the main and only workable place to give 'after event' views is the 'reviews' section of the event entry No real way can change this, We did once have a no promoters post 'reviews' policy but that was very problematic Any such system needs to be automatic and as the only way we can id 'promoters' is by the member posting the event - this can lead to various issues, as not every promoter is the actual event poster, plus we do have events being run by teams as in more than one person and we can't id every one involved . But ain't that that 'promoters' fault, I do read some 'promoters' give a decent worthwhile after event view Could/should people say ok that is/was a 'promoters' view and then be able to take that in to consideration? ----------------------- I feel it be better if we have a open and easy to use enjoyable 'review' system Where promoters are encouraged to pass on views afterwards and connect with members who have attended as Joan says if we stop all them posting then we wont get that imo Possible improvement may be to mark/highlight the review as promoters/authors/involved view/post, any others?

regarding people involved in the event posting reviews afterwards my take is as per below a promoters (or someone who is involved) viewpoint can be interesting, yep sure its not always going to be that way from every promoter, a lot does depend on the actual promoters style/manner etc, but most of promoters on here do give a interesting 'take' And as long as everyone is or can be aware that they are part of the event team and so are giving an 'involved' view, then there shouldn't be a problem, should there? any views out there ?

News News feature improvements still ongoing Events moderation a couple of reviews have recently been dropped as they where not actual reviews One was a comment on a previous reviewer being involved with the event, and the other was a couldn't make it message
