Managing Uploads


Recommended Posts

As you know, Young Composers is creating its own Music Notation Product, and this product will be a focus of our community (for those of you who wish to adopt the product).  The vision is to allow the ability to showcase music directly through this product.  This will leave our current system obsolete.
 
Because of this, I've decided to revert our "upload" system back to how it was originally in 2005.  Traditionally, we had 8 or so forums and allowed members to "attach" their music to the forum post, allowing members to comment.  At the time, I had reservations about that method due to the lack of uniformity and the fact that some people linked to works and these links could be "broken".  However, because the current system requires far too much maintenance, and since I do not feel that a music management system would really do much in terms of helping this community, I don't feel the need to even have a music management system any longer.
 
For me, the maintenance and complexity of the website would be greatly reduced if we had the old traditional way of uploading works, leaving me more time to focus on our new product which could potentially be more beneficial to some folks here.
 
Thus, I am going to shut down the way we currently upload music, but will leave the directory as "read-only".  I do believe by simplifying this site, and moving it to the "homepage", we will increase participation and cohesion.
 
Read Only Directory

 

Upload new works to appropriate forum, by either attaching or linking to a file.

 

Also, with the deprecation of our directory, we can now upgrade our forum software, and the look and feel of our template to something a bit more "cozy".

 

Thanks!
