Board Info/ Site News

Everyone - just upgraded the Forum to the latest version and there are a lot of changes! The look, options - all sorts of things that I hope everyone enjoys. If anyone has any concerns or problems, let me know and I hope you all enjoy!

Hey all, just wanted to drop a note that the Bibliography page has been updated. https://www.brianlumley.com/books/bibliography.html Silky recently went through and gathered all the info and I have updated that info. This is the most current and complete listing of Brian's publications (first publication only - these have obviously been published in more that just these listings, as well as multiple languages - this is English only). Hope this helps anyone who is looking for specific items. The list is broken down between Novels, Stories, and Poetry. Enjoy!

If anyone is having issues remembering their old login info or not being able to access the site - let me know and I can reset or resend your info with any updates you need.

Just a note to let everyone know the new site design is now live for the main page and the FAQ page. In my opinion those are the two most important pages on the site so I wanted to make sure those were ready first. I will be updating the rest of the site as time allows and hopefully I will be able to incorporate the site design into the forum as well so the entire thing will be seamless. Bear with me as my free time to code isn’t what it used to be. Hope you all enjoy!!

Just letting everyone know we are running the latest version of IPB and everything should be running smoothly. Let me know if you have any issues and I will try and get them resolved ASAP. Also going to be working on the theme as some things have changed with the code and it needs updated to run properly, so we will be running with the default color scheme for now.

Thanks to all the idiots who continue to post garbage on the Forum, I have now made it so that you must login/register before posting, even in the free sections. Yeah, I know we still get people who are willing to go through the trouble of registering and validating but they are easily dismissed and then banned through whatever IP they use so that works out fine. Sorry for the small inconvenience but it is necessary.

After a long time - I am finally cleaning out the userlist here. We have a lot of people registered that have never posted or never confirmed their email addys. I don't mind the not posting part - some people just like to read and that is fine. If you have never confirmed your email address though you will find that you need to re-register as I have deleted your profiles. Also - please make sure your email address is current in your profile as I will be taking care of those profiles next in my house cleaning. If you notice - there are some new areas to play with in your profiles in this new version. Let me know if anyone has any problems. Thanks!

Added a new audiobook page to the site linking all the books available to date. 53 in total (some novellas and shorts are duplicated on some of the collections). Audiobook Page

Trying to breathe some life into this forum so I added a new subforum under Lumley Discussions to showcase the latest releases (mostly audio) for Brian's work. Users can post new topics but they can reply. Hope everyone enjoys having these located on here!

I've moved the forum to a new database that is more up to date and will allow future upgrades. Hopefully we can open the site back up soon if I can get the spammers to stop ruining things. Thanks for everyone's continued patience.

Spent some time today to get the forum updated to the latest version. While it has more features and is more secure, I don't have the ability to customize the look and feel as much as I could in the old version. Considering almost no one comes here anymore this might not matter, but for current members, let me know if you have any trouble with anything. Thanks!

Thanks to all the spammers and idiots that want to use this for nothing more than an advertising board - I have temporarily shut down new registrations to the site. If you are interested in registering please send me an email with a request and i will manually add you to the site. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The forum doesn't look or act like the old one but there is one key difference - it works again! Give me time and all will return to the look and feel you are all used to. Let me know if anyone has any problems and sorry for the delay in getting things back on track!

Hey there everyone - just finished the upgrade and style customizations in this major release of vBulletin. I might not have gotten everything changed over perfectly but it is close enough to make it a go. There is only the one style right now but as I get more comfortable with vB4 I will get all the ones you are used to having back on here. Hopefully you like the new features and changes and if you have any questions or problems - please let me know so I can get them addressed. Facebook is now integrated into the site as well as a mobile version of the site if accessing on your phone. Haven't gotten the chance to try those out just yet but hopefully they work! S…

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I will be moving the website to a new host this year - so if you happen to swing by some day and the site is down, that is the reason. I will post on here as well as on our Facebook page to keep everyone updated during the actual move and when I am done - hopefully things will be running smooth.

Due to a massive amount of bogus registrations to the site (marketing scams, website promotions, etc) I have - for the time being - turned off all new registrations to the site/forum. If you are a genuine fan and would like to register so you can participate in the discussions, please send me an email with your information and I will manually add you to the forum. I apologize for this inconvenience, and hopefully this temporary bother will pass soon. If you have previously registered and been turned down, feel free to send me an email so I can get you registered as well. Keep enjoying the site/forum!!

Just a heads up to let you all know - depending on where you look, you may see the new design of the site on certain pages. I will slowly be getting the entire site changed over to the new look and I hope you all like it. It may take some getting used to but I think in the long run, you will all appreciate it much better. And some pages/areas will be disappearing as they are no longer relevant from the past but some nice new error pages will redirect you in the right direction. Enjoy! Also - the new design will be selectable soon on the Forum here once I get all the kinks worked out.

Finally got the 'Turgosheim look' changed over to the new style. This was always Silky's favorite color scheme, so I had to get it changed over. It is also user-selectable at the bottom, so if you like it you can use it on every forum. If you don't - well, too bad because it overrides your settings - but just in Brian's Area of the board. Enjoy!

Not sure what I will do with it yet, but figured I needed to get around and post an 'official' Facebook page for the website. Any suggestions or comments are welcome on what should be accomplished with it. Thanks and hope you enjoy...

Thanks to all the bots and spammers that are trying to register on the forum, I have decided to try something new. When you are registering for the first time on the site you will now have to answer a question related to the site to 'prove' you are human and want to be here. The questions are easy and the answers are simple to find on the site if you don't know them off the top of your head. We'll see how this goes - if it eliminates the idiots - yay for us! If not, well, I'll come up with something new.

Along with the thumbnails being messed up for the Picture Albums, we also discovered the new user verification was messed up. Basically if you sign up on the Forum you are given an image to retype to verify you are human. When the image library got messed up, there was no image for you to retype. I apologize to anyone who has tried to register in the last month, but this is now fixed and should be working fine. Don't wait - re-sign up and start posting today!

Just a shout out to everyone to let you know the newest issue of the newsletter is up.

If you don't like waiting two months and then being two months behind to read the latest and greatest, join the Elite Lumlians now! And not to spoil the issue, but a long time columnist has hung up their pen...

Finally got around and updated the forum icons showing a new or an old post. We had the glowing skulls for so long, i almost forgot where I put the files! I did find them though and now the site has more of an undead feel, skulls reflecting what is new and old as opposed to a bulletin board with post it notes on it. Hope you like it - and it's only on the BL.com and Turgosheim styles...
