Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

Today we are performing a large website update and are implementing a new design of pianostreet.com. We hope you like it!  :)
While the structure is now in place, there are still some details to fine tune.
If you have any questions, comments, problems or suggestions, please post them here or contact us at webmaster@pianostreet.com

In the new interface, I see only the last 7 posts under Recent Posts. I think that the earlier idea of having 10 (somewhere in between 10-12) posts works better. It used to give me a good idea of what the new posts were on the forum without having to actually scroll through them. Do you think that would be a good idea?

It would be useful to have an option to ignore some topics, also "go to the unread posts" instead of "go to the last post".

Looks a lot nicer.  The 'activate forum access' thing is still so annoying tho!

Yes, but this links now only shows for new members. However, it can happen that your forum login expires before the main PS login session, and then you will now see a "LOGIN TO FORUM >"-link insted. Just click it and you are in. We will work on the forum log in issue later.

haha I thought there was something wrong with my computer or something. I'm glad that "Show new replies to your posts" wasn't permanently removed because when I didn't see it I was quite disappointed. A very useful feature

Allow us to upload jpeg. It only allows jpg  >:( makes it annoying sharing from Apple mobile devices.

I thought you could LITERALLY just change the suffix from *.jpeg to *.jpg and it would work. Aren't they the exact same file type???

Glancing through this post... "To post in the forum, you need to ACTIVATE FORUM ACCESS >"   I see that immediately after log in.  I would going to say get rid of that if you've already got access.  That's been on top just after I log in since the upgrade.
