How do we access the Proms threads?

[Pulcinella]

I was thinking that the BBC Proms Archive might be a useful addition to the "Useful Links > Other Links" column - to enable Forumistas ready access to verify the last time a favourite composer was featured in the Proms, sort-of thing.

That was my thought/reasoning too!

It's a good thing he had his pizza delivery container to lean back on!

Easy to get wet feet when queuing for Proms tickets in the forties ..... never knew there was a canal around the RAH

That's easy.

Do people really want to access the forum archive to check the old threads? I've constructed the empty category (bottom of home page), but don't want to go to all the labour of moving all the Proms boards if it's the BBC archive that's more useful.

There are so many valuable posts about music that are worthy of revisiting.

<sigh>All right. I'll do both … But they will be closed threads for reference only. If anything is worthy of resuscitation, a new thread can be started.

Only for reference, no need to resurrect the discussion - apols, I should have made that clear.

All the years with available threads are now visible as the bottom category on the forum homepage. As you'll have worked out, you can 'collapse' all the forums within each category by clicking on the small up arrow on the right of the red category band (blue arrow on jpeg below). I can either leave the category visible as it is, or hide it entirely and put a link in the sidebar.

I'll put a link to the BBC Proms archive in the sidebar tomorrow (french frank isn't high enough up in the chain of command so I have to put on the Field Marshal's regalia first).

I see the excellent Andrew has corrected my html code so that the homepage sidebar now has links to both the Proms Archive and to the BBC Genome (Radio Times since the year dot), under Other links. I've moved the 2016 Proms listings to the bottom of the sidebar, but it can be moved up when/if we have the information for 2017.

Scroll down the Genome homepage to choose which channel or station you want to look up.

No - nothing wrong that I could see. I typed it back in in the end, and it worked!

from me too.

That's not fair!

Thanks for this, a really good facility
