Pass The Marmalade now has a forum! A la the British Horror Films message board, you'll find sections for each era of British fright cinema (we've even got a 2020s forum! Be prepared), as well as an AOB subforum, and places where you can post about TV/Netflix/streaming/YouTube etc, books and mags, and so on. The forum is in a rudimentary form at present but I hope you find it easy to get here and to make regular use of.
I'm sure many of you from the British Horror Films community will surface here and that some of you might even continue with the same username! And let's hope we get a few newcomers along too.
Any tech problems or any suggestions for site improvements, let me know. I can't promise that they'll be dealt with immediately (or at all, frankly), but it might make you feel better whinging about any issues.
Do bear with me, as I'm in the process of updating the main Marmalade pages (take a look at those while you're here, won't you? And our blog too), and will be fine-tuning the forum too.
And I hope you like the 'Forum Beyond The Grave' banner! Took me all morning to design that...
Anyway, in the word of Bela Lugosi - vellcom
Good work Chris. I am filling myself with hope.
Latest tweets from Chris:
" Okay, the website is back up and running but the forum remains down for the time being. It was the forum that was causing the problem... the anti spam protection had run out.
I need to figure out costs and also what technical stuff needs doing. Bear with... "
I think I've changed the id
Don't suppose there's been any further word on the old homestead?
Whatever happened to Jells?
Any more for the Skylark?
Hello playmates! I was away in the land of the Scrotes and this is what I find on my return? Whatever, good show DB for doing this, if it be you. Pity about t'old board. Our rabbits!!! What's gonna happen to them? Let's see if this works... I don't even know if I'm tuned in and switched on. Enough already! PING, Hey Presto and....
Well done Darrell lad, you're getting the band back together.
Am I signed in then?
Hello there!
Despite being pretty rubbish with technology I have managed to join here.
Quote from Chris: "The British Horror Films website is currently out for the count (Dracula). Rest (in peace) assured this is not a permanent situation and the site will be back... back, I say! As soon as I’ve passed the marmalade and sorted out the niggle which brought it down."
Chris has tweeted that the BHF board will return.
They dug me up again. What has happened to the BHF board? Requiescat in pace ultima, or might it return from the grave?
Well I didn't expect this! Looks like the old place didn't get a Grade II listing after all :( However I love the fact this place feels like the BHF in it's early days. Oh and I am Corpse Candle for those who know me under my real name and not this made up fictional character I use on Facebook.
Now I think of it, I'm sure Moods is the one who can give Mal the heads up.
Anybody able to send a map to Mal?
Yo yo yo muthafuckas! It's the artist formerly known as coolerking 'ere. Marvellous.
ETA: And is still known as coolerking thanks to a bit of jiggery pokery.
You can change it, I think, Paul. On your profile page. Add an avatar while you're at it - ask CMM how!
Hello all! Moodie here. You'll just have to get used to calling me by my proper name, it seems.
Jolly good work. Hello all.
*Ortega posts under the name he should have originally chosen in 2003 in the first place if he'd gotten around yet to reading M.R. James*
Darrell, thanks for doing this, and Mike, thanks for dropping me a line.
Uh... what exactly happened? Admittedly, I've been pretty sparse around the BHF the past several years but I hadn't realized there were any major problems.
I even dusted off the old moniker.
Hello all :)
And yeah, we need Mindy here for sure. I hope he knows we've set the forum up.
My pleasure, CMM. Really enjoyed putting all this together earlier today, and even impressed myself with my work on the forum banner
BTW, big thanks for doing this, Darrell!
Hopefully he will make a comeback.
No innuendo intended....originally :-D
"I was mucking about trying to drag and drop"... blimey, I thought Mindy had turned up for a minute there!
I thangyew!
I was mucking about trying to drag and drop
Click on the circle itself and it should open up to allow you to select and upload a pic, CMM. I look forward to seeing Hank Marvin or Naschy glaring at us a.s.a.p.
How the f do you add an avo to your profile? I've been messing about for ages with no results!
We're gradually putting the band back together...
Here's Craaaaazy!
Ok if we still refer to you as 'Sladds'?
Blimey, I made it through tunnel B. And am here as my true self.
Just figured out how to put up a pic meself. Strewth!
Well you're the only person who has worked out how to create an avatar so far!
Can't seem to lay my hands on the combination to the minibar, but otherwise all looking most ship-shape. Nice one, D!
