*skeek is weirded out by the strange and possibly wonderful interface*

i think i'll stick with interference.

 

[Foxxern]

It's weird cause there's no Radiohead discussions going on there.

------------------
Change is the only constant

 

[SkeeK]

...not to mention any other sort of discussion.

and one more thing. I thought interference had too many different forums!! good god!

 

[anitram]

I don't know why I have this gigantic problem, but the section called "Video's-DVD's" should be "Videos-DVDs". The apostrophe indicates possession, but in this sense, it is the plural form they're using.

 

[UV2001]

I haven't been on it yet but just got an email with the link. Gonna check it out.

 

[u2utah]

I couldn't log in with the password they gave me

Did it work for the rest of you?

It does have a few too many forums, but I'm sure it will end up where one or two are used the most, just like it is here.

My main concern is that, being "official", it will end up full of "Dear U2, please play ___________" or "Dear U2, you should do such and such" That gets annoying fast.

And imagine the "Hair Wars" that could occur if people think Bono might be lurking, looking for fashion advice!

(u2utah makes mental note to remember that if she's ever in a really foul mood and wants to torture people

)

I'll probably stick with Interference. It's established already, and how many forums does one need? I think they should have tapped one of the existing forums for their site. But then I think they should have hired fans with great websites to design and run theirs. After all, who knows what fans want to see better than other fans? I'm sure their site would be a lot better had they done that.

Hmmmm. Maybe when I get access I'll suggest it "Dear U2, why don't you...."
Just kidding!

Ha! That's why this board is called Interference; all this Radiohead stuff is interfering with talking about U2.

I couldn't log in with password they gave me either.
There are a lot forums but nothing going on.
Maybe the PLEBA girls should take over the Bono, Adam, Larry and Edge forums, teach them how is done or scare them away.

I logged in after a bit, it is case sensative.. I think it looks pretty cool but will we get the banter we get on here?? I doubt it

Dunno what the chat room is all about, I get into it but its empty and when you type in a message nothing appears. also its either always empty or everyones invisble and silent

That bothered me too, but then again I teach intro college composition, so I'm a trained dork.

Also the password wouldn't work for me even though I was careful about case.

P.S. Ace Rimmer, your name is yucky.

------------------
and I must be an acrobat to talk like this and act like that

U2! in Boston! in DC! with me!

 

[Se7en]

couldn't get in

 

[Bonochick]

I can't get in either.

As usual with U2.com - heavy on design, lite on functionality.

hmpf....

LOL Ace Rimmer

I couldn?t login either...it keeps showing the same message "the name or password you entered was incorrect - please try again"

I wouldn?t leave interference...got so used to it.

So far, Interference is the only forum I have come to love, although I did try to logon there just for the hell of it, and it didn't work for me either - Strange

 

[grace]

I agree with Mad. about it being low on functionality. It takes way too many clicks to read a single message.

 

[Nate Dogg]

For those who can't get in:
Capitalize the first letter of the password, it will work only if you do that.
(Thanks to U2log.com for that piece of helpful info!....)

OK, kids. the trick is to put a capital Z in the password. Ace-- where are you? I'll have a conversation with you over there.

And yes, Interference is so much better.

I used a capital Z and I still can't log on. Interference seems to be the thing to stick with anyway.

You have to tweak your profile so it shows all the messages in one thread.

Besides, I like it here better... people are ruder!

Everyone there seems way to conscious that the Band might be reading their posts.

Yeah that usually bothers me too! Just looks off--but I'll get over it

I went to Zootopia yesterday to look around, and it didn't strike me as anything special. We'll see, maybe if U2 starts joining in the discussion I'll take an interest
