OK

I'm sorry, i really am but I've held my peace as long as i can.

The random music playing on the biographies page is DRIVING ME UP THE WALL!

For those of you that have the little music players that don't play automatically i salute you, those i don't mind, if i want to listen i can.

But those ones that play automatically, i don't want to hear. I have my own music playing and do not want little clips of your music forced upon my ears often drowning out my awesome play list that i have constructed with a great deal of love and time and effort.

If you are desperate enough to have that music on, put it in the 'read more' bit of the bio page so when im browsing the main bios it isnt going to start playing.

This is a good point. I will

This is a good point. I will make a general post about it and sticky it in that section. I think being able to browse via a list (which i am setting up now) will help, but really auto playing music is not a good idea on a site like this.

Thats great, thanks

Thats great, thanks *huggles*

Some of the players are ok they dont start on loadup, but others are and its those ones that are annoying. It is nice to see the bios the way they are now though a list will also be good - especially for those who have a slower connection.

Maybe suggest that all the players are placed in the read more section then there isnt a problem.

In said sticky, maybe you

In said sticky, maybe you could put how to make it non-autoplaying?
On Mixpod.com, just go to the customize tab and click the blue word "Settings". Then select no for autoplay. :3
I think it might help. Smiling

It'll be wonderful to no longer have heavy metal music blasting into our ears spontaneously. Smiling

-thumbs up- I'm always afraid

-thumbs up-
I'm always afraid to browse through the Biography section or someone else's blogs, because there are suddenly 50 music players starting automatically. Which doesn't help anything to hear them.
Please, guys, put them on non-automatically starting, I won't hesitate anymore with clicking on any biography. 8<

I second this in a way. All

I second this in a way. All this auto-music is harsh on my bandwidth, as I get a limited amount per month. Bandwidth that could be spent playing TEF. |D

But yeah, I agree. Do not want. D:

I completely agree, that's

I completely agree, that's why I took my music out of the browsing category and into the 'read more' when the new layout was released. Now you only hear it when you click to open his bio. It's very annoying! Especially when I'm already listening to music.
