If you add a show under 'your settings' that doesn't already exist, it will add it in.

I'm all by myself in my Joy Franz and Pamela Myers love. So cold...So alone.

At least there are plenty of Bebe folk to keep me company.

Is there some ranking among the people side of this? What determines a performer's number?

The ones that appear on the front page are the ones with the most members. Have no fear though, we'll be spotlighting the smaller, but active groups as well VERY soon in some upcoming features.

how do you join a "community"?, do you need a photo on your profile for it to show on the page?

Are there networks for composers? That might be useful considering the amount of discussion around certain composers.

Incidentally, can anyone NOT say "Showcial" without sounding like Sean Connery? (That is kinda rhetorical.)

Element BOARDTYPE is undefined in URL.

Something's not working on the board. After reading a message, and I click on back to the main at the bottom, I get the following error message:
--------------------------
The error occurred in /home/bway/public_html/bway/showcialboard/index.cfm: line 1

1 : Cfif #url.boardtype# eq 'shows'
2 : Cfquery name="gets" datasource="bww"
3 : select showname
--------------------------

It only worked fine after I post something.
