TA:MOU = Themed Anniversary: Moving On Up




DA EVEN NEWER ROOLZ

Each Tuesday a theme will be decided based on the Anniversary of some significant event. All you have to do is trawl your reviews for any that relate to that event and post them here with a link.

You can post as many as you wish, so long as either the film or your review clearly relates to the theme. You can only post during the week of the current TA:MOU.

You don't have to say you voted unless you really want to - but you are expected to visit all the links posted. As a courtesy to the majority of fwfrs, you may only post a link that uses the http://www.fwfr.com domain name.

From this week each TA:MOU # will be removed when a new one takes its place. This is to deter re-visiting of expired threads.

Yours truly
Da Management


ON THIS DAY
in 1793 the troubled period known as The Reign of Terror began. In a slight change to our normal programming, please present any review which suggests terror. Dunno about you, but I'm terrorfied!

Been awhile since I ventured in this area. THought I might as well. One always needs votes. But it has been too long. I cant remember how to single out a review to post? Hopefully I'll get it and be back.

Welcome back, TPa! Actually, since the Great Benj made it easy-peasy ... it's, well, uhm, easy-peasy to isolate your reviews. Just i.d. the film/s you want to feature on the week's theme, then there's a drop-down menu contained in a little beige lozange at the top of the page, which says "my reviews only." Click that and voila! your reviews will appear as if by magic. Then all you have to do is copy the url which will now appear and go back to the TA:MOU page and paste it. Do as many as you want.

Can't wait to see yours!

PS - How's TitanBaby?

Hi TitanPA... to isolate one review you need to alter the address of the page you're looking at in the address bar. For example if you have two reviews for a film and want to just show the second one you could alter the end of the address from start=1 to start=2. It can be a bit of trial and error and will alter according to the order you have the reviews displayed, but chronological or votes ordering should be the most useful. If that doesn't make any sense PM me an example of what you'd like and I'll show you a way to do it.

Are you going to change the rules in the middle of every round now?

It's best to use true chronological (i.e. not antichronological) order and then amend from there. See full details here.

Yup, birds flapping around seems to really get to a lot of people's psyche in a strangely fundamental way, and he tapped into that really well.

Edit: Just looked it up after that. Never knew it was a story by Daphne du Maurier!

It's odd you've got the two indentical woodpecker reviews in your set Salopian. I think I undestand how that happened, but shouldn't you really delete one of them?

I reported it years ago.

Just to confirm how it happened... After the first one was unsuccessful, I submitted the non-article version. That was approved, but I preferred the full one so I resubmitted it and that was approved too.
