I am glad to announce mobile theme is back! It should appear automatically when you visit the phone on mobile devices, if not, as you may know, you need to click the link "Mobile" at the bottom of the page.
yep there is definitely topics which would have gone above the 5th page with mfumu and matebu's precious contribution i hope mfumu will come back since he still is active on youtube
Don't forget guys the fact that while on popular social media sites everyone can have their own space and don't need to conform to others, at those sites the moderators can delete the channel just any time, in case of any little mistake. You don't follow some minor rule, and you can be banned. Just like Vibes D'Afrique, that was running on a subscription like service, or there channel of DJ Omega or INA Congo. Especially if your share links to albums to download, and discuss where and what to download. The advantage of having this forum is that it can not be banned, even if it is banned at one server, I can upload it to the next,so the things go on as usual. And as I mentioned earlier, if anyone needs his own section, I can create it, even can ban users they wouldn't like to see there commenting. Anything you share here will remain, unlike at Facebook or Youtube, where it can be wiped in a second if the moderator feels so, or an angry fan or manager reports the channel. Like in case of Rigo Makengo reporting Ina Congo.
Secondly: I needed to ban some servers in the US for large scale hacking attack activity. If some members were using those servers they might have got locked out, but I left an error message for them to inquire about lifting the ban on Facebook. So far noone inquired.
The mobile theme is off, is someone needed it they might be less active recently. But the updates still last for 1-2 weeks. Until then I cannot switch it back. The forum core features were 10 years old, there was no more time left to wait, elase it could have collapsed and we needed to start everything from scratch.
Recently I added some new necessary security measures to the forum to keep spammers and hackers away. It may result in that some of the members here get locked out. If you cannot access the forum for a longer period of time, and no notification about servicing is presented on the screen, please visit our page on Facebook, and inquire for lifting the false ban on your account. Hopefully noone will fall into this situation, but in case yes, just do as mentioned.
Not yet. I had to switch it off temporarily until I am servicing the forum. I am waiting for some information from my helpers, there is a break now, but until the whole process ends I cannot switch the mobile theme back, it will mess things up. Soon it will be back. But if all goes well, that security issue you always have with the Brave browser will be solved. At the moment I am working on that.
I modified your post. You got the Tiktok link from the address bar, it did not work, I copied it from Share -> Copy link. Unfortunately it happens in case of some sites. I am trying to sort this out.
I am glad to announce a feature that may have been long awaited: from now on if you insert Instagram or Facebook video links in your posts, they will display as videos after submitting the post. The function works for these sites as well: Tiktok, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Soundcloud, Spotify and of course as always: Youtube.
Some glitches may happen, this feature is still under development. If you notice an error let me know.
One known glitch is that if you post multiple Facebook videos in the same post, it may happen some won't appear. You need to insert those in the next post then.
If all goes well, soon, inserting Facebook Posts will also be available, I am still working on it.
Due to recent upgrades the forum might ask you accept cookies as part of a privacy and security measure. This is a recent requirement by Google to ask for you decide if you want to accept the cookies or not (choose whichever you feel like). You can make your selection in the popup window appearing. I am working on to be able to skip the display of that popup in spite of Google requiring it, but during the next few months we need to live together with it. Thanks for you patience!
My friend is in Congo and is collecting money to make a DVD video lesson with Bijoux Bass of Zaiko. They need to collect 500GBP. If you would like to donate please message me in private message here in the forum, any little amount helps. You will get a free copy of the lesson once it is released. I will notify you about that.
You may know guys I am in contact with Mboka Liya, and I told him about a special guitar, and since then he is absolutely excited about that. Recently I am not on top financially, if I had some spare money I would buy it for him right away. But that guitar is rare, and I was lucky to have found it just now in England, where he lives. It would be a very good chance to buy it now, as I wouldn't need to ship the guitar to him from abroad, that would mean 2-300 GBP extra cost. I decided to ask you guys about whether you would be willing to donate for that guitar? I can assure you it is something you haven't seen before and represents a whole new spectrum that has not been seen in Congolese music yet.
The guitar costs 710GBP with shipping. Me, I can donate 50GBP alone, if there would be another 13 participant who would be willing to donate 50GBP, I could buy the guitar right away.
The donation would go to my PayPal account, maybe partly to my bank account in the UK or US to avoid tax. You know me guys well from here, I won't steal that money, cos where would I hide as the admin? As soon as the money is there I buy the guitar. If the purchase fails for any reason, like someone buys it sooner, I send you the money back to where it came from.
Contact me in private if you would be willing to donate, if 13 person apply, I send the details out for everyone to what to do and also create a follow up post here.
In return the minimum that I can offer is that Mboka will of course mention the names of the donators on one of his new songs or even albums if he creates a full disk of songs, plus I can send out his 2 DVD lessons in downloadable form for free to anyone who donates.
