Great to see so many new threads and MI users migrating over. Still miss that site immensely though.

Another former MI lurker here (1 post in 9 years!).

Aloha! saw a new site up and running. I became more of a lurker past few years but metalireland was my go to when I had a spare few minutes in work to check out what was on or more additions to the tale of Scott fury!!

The legend that is Scott Fury. Wonder what he's at nowadays.

Part of the migrant caravan from MI here as well, glad to reach a safe haven! Nice one for the link leoos

Yeah the loss of all the reviews, classic write ups etc  is a crying shame. Even if it could have been transferred over to the Irish Metal Archive or something...

 Thanks for setting this site up. I, like many others, had withdrawal symptoms when MI was shut down. I hope this site is here for many years to come!

Same username from MI - you'll either know me or you won't, been there since day 1. Good call spinning something up.

Decided to sign up as I can't have enough places to be asked if tickets will be on the door.

Quick q to the admin - I just posted a few gig threads and linked the show poster but the image isn't showing. Any idea why?

I've lost count of how many times I've done that.

Am loving some of the things I can do on this site - how did I manage to go so long without the option of having Christopher Lambert as an avatar?

Anyways....site looks great, could we get some Brush posts and Shoctopus bashing threads going just to ease us into the new world?

Technical answer:
That's due to security configurations on the site. The forum runs over https:// (secure) and your images were linked from an http:// (non-secure) source. The site is configured to block insecure elements from loading on secure pages as a security precaution. Kind of like if you had an armoured truck to transport money, but you left a briefcase of money sitting on top of the truck, which defeats the purpose of having the armoured truck. I noticed the DME site supports https;// so you're generally always best using the https:// version of the site over the http:// version. I believe most major browsers will be implementing this in the future too, so it'd be good practice to link all images or links to the https:// version. I've configured the forum to proxy all http:// content so it shouldn't be an issue anymore. Might require a hard refresh (shift+f5 on a computer) to get it to display if it's not showing for you.

Short answer:
Fixed. Should be working now. Thanks for the heads up!

Was more a MI lurker myself, a few posts here and there, good to see this taking shape. Hope it goes well and can be a good replacement for MI. Fair play to all involved.
