Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: June 02 2011, 04:24 There is a new (slightly experimental) section of the tubular.net website now available which presents a graphical timeline of "The musical life of Mike Oldfield". You can find it here or use the link on the front page of the website on the left hand side.

Is it my computer's fault? Thanks! What do you mean by "not scroll properly"? Is this the very bottom bar showing the years with the blue lines for where there is content on the timeline? If so what does it do (or not do! ). It should scroll slowly to match the other bars, or quickly if you grab the lowest bar and move it directly (making the other bars whizz by quickly). What browser you using? -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

starfish Group: Members Posts: 93 Joined: June 2009 Posted: June 08 2011, 09:11 One mistake that I can see: the release date of the Arrival single is listed as 10th October 1976 on your timeline. This is the date of when it was released by ABBA! Mike Oldfield's cover version didn't come out until 12th September 1980. Back to top

Fixed (well, sortof fixed, database updated but it lists as 11th rather than 12th when I look at the timeline, have to have a check why that is...).

THANKS AND HAVE A TUBULAR DAY!!! Hello tubularbelleII, I *think* you are talking about facebook pages here. The only facebook page tubular.net is involved with is http://www.facebook.com/mikeoldfield. I don't know who is involved with any of the other fan pages on facebook. Is this what you refer to or is it something you are having problems with on tubular.net? If it's a tubular.net problem then let us know and we'll try and help. If it is to do with other facebook pages then suggest you try and contact whoever is looking after them? Welcome to the forums by the way! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Moreover, the date is the 5th and not the 4th Thanks Yannick - one day we'll hopefully have everything fed from the same databases The date error is the same problem noted above (Arrival) with the way the date is being displayed. Says 5th in the database - honest! I'll keep investigating... -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top
