Not sure what the OP was referencing, but we made a couple of minor mobile speed improvements late last week, and a little improvement to the top navigation bar today to make mobile searching easier. But those were site-wide, not message board specific. Glad Catsbroadwayfan approves.
Folks, I suppose I understand why the topic of the Mean Girls Fan Day might make people feel the need to insult and antagonize people, but let's please put an end to that. We locked the other thread yesterday, and don't want to have to do it to this one too.
If people on this thread continue to allow the conversation to devolve into personal attacks and bickering, instead of locking the thread for people who actually want to discuss the topic at hand, we will in
We do not monitor PMs, however, everyone is able to report abusive PMs by clicking on the report button. If you feel that someone is being abusive in personal messages, please report it, and we will look into it.
For everyone else, please get back on topic, if you want to discuss Mean Girl's Day. Or we can close the thread if the conversation has reached a conclusion.
Alright everybody, let's stop the bickering back-and-forth and get back to the topic of "Means Girls" Day. Let's cut out the insults, accusations, etc.
This is an obtrusive programmatic unit that comes from systems like Google AdWords that are not native to BWW. We make every attempt to block them beforehand, but some still sneak through. If you get one, please copy the URL and email it to contact [at] broadwayworld [dot] com, and we will send it on to our ad server to block moving forward.
Opening and closing night curtain calls, and other such videos, are either provided by the production (as was the case with "Hello, Dolly!" if I recall correctly), or, as is more often the case, the production invites media organizations to send photographers/videographers to capture the moment. Those are legal and approved by the production. That is a far different situation than covertly captured bootlegs.
Folks, while in general we allow discussion of theatrical bootlegs, because it's foolish to pretend like they don't exist, we do not allow users to actively request, share, or direct others to them. The posts doing so have been deleted, and further posts of that nature will result in that, or further, action.
These recordings are still illegal, and we simply cannot allow people to distribute them via the boards. Thank you for understanding.
Ok folks, let's get this thread back on topic. This is venturing far afield from the topic at hand. If you would like to argue politics, please feel free to do so in the Off Topic Board, and keep this thread for discussion of Laura Benanti's performance.
We have been investigating this throughout the morning. This is coming from a programmatic advertiser, which means that it is not someone that advertises directly with BroadwayWorld. That is why you will see it on other sites as well. It is a scourge across the internet, specifically on mobile, and we work with our programmatic provider to block anything that behaves like this as soon as possible.
We just heard back from our provider, and they said that if it happens to you, if yo
Ok, everyone. It's time to get this thread back on topic. Obviously discussing Ken Davenport's work, tactics, and strategies as a producer and writer are certainly well within the bounds of the discussion, but we've crossed that line a few times in this thread in the last few hours. So, please keep the conversation going about the show and anything professionally tangential to that, but the personal stuff should be saved for PMs or another venue.
There is already a thread on this very topic, and since that one has more interaction and actually names the actress in question in the title/post, we are going to lock this version. You can continue the conversation over there:
It looks like one of the posts had something wonky (technical term) in it. Our programmer cleaned it up, and should be all set now. Thanks for flagging for us.
Ok, this discussion took an unnecessary and concerning turn. So, we will be locking this thread now. It's disappointing, because the thread seemed to genuinely be productive and positive in its discussion for the majority of the time, until a few people decided to hijack what was otherwise a healthy exchange of ideas. Have a good day.
Now that we have gotten (kind of) back on topic, let's please dispense with the personal bickering and talk about the "Gettin' the Band Back Together" previews... and/or under what "conditions" you might be seeing them.
Alrighty, everybody. It's time to get back to talking about the show in this thread. If you would like to continue any other political, religious, social, or other types of discussions, please feel free to start a thread in the Off-Topic board.
A reminder that we do not moderate based on favoring any specific user or political ideals here. If a post is found to be off topic or directly attack another user, it will be removed.
Posts that directly attack or call out a poster in an unrelated thread are against our rules - we request we keep the conversation civil and on the topic at hand.
We're going to go ahead and lock this thread. While we appreciate the discussion on seeing shows multiple times and/or frequently - this conversation on this particular issue has clearly run it's course.
A reminder that threads created specifically to attack an individual are against our rules.
