I am clicking *here* often and Submitting at least one link for the index

[m1469]

Thanks for clicking here    

I am wondering if you would be so kind as to help a little with the forum indexing project ? 

Please prepare in the following format (and post in this thread) :


*Which category it should go under--which heading within category

*Exact title of thread
*Thread link
*Summary of topic(s)


Example :

Repertoire--Beethoven

Beethoven - The last 3
https://pianoforum.net/smf/index.php/topic,2748.msg23723.html
(progressive difficulty list for all 32 sonatas)


Before copying the link, PLEASE click the icon just to the left of the title of each thread so the thread is ready to read wherever you choose to bookmark it (and the thread is not just "floating" when opened to from the link).

This way, the threads are ready to be indexed.  Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated

Thank you very much Bob  , this is very helpful ! 

Now, for those of you who are browsing the site and find a thread that is useful and you are just dying to submit it as a link for the index, Nils has offered to have you use the "report to moderator" option located at the bottom right hand side of the thread.  Just let him know you would like for it to be indexed and it will be passed on to me  .  It's easier than ever  and so much fun too !!!

Hey, YAY, it's supposed to trigger people's memories.  You know, I am so glad you posted Torp, because I was starting to wonder if I was just talking to myself... but then there is Bob (and dorfmouse, don't forget about dorfmouse... oh yeah  ), so I started to wonder if I am Bob, talking to myself.  He he, *looks at her stash of lollipops and winks at them for no apparent reason*... *wonders if she is a piano lollipop pirate by night and m1469-Bob by day*

PS-

  Not to worry... Well, this is fairly hush hush, but there are some positions of high esteem still open in the "m1469's indexing project" (MIP) fan club  (he he)

(thinks it is possible that m1469 and Bob are the same mind.  For that matter, this entire site could all be in your/my mind)

(Looks at the unresponsive pf members, the ones who don't post links for the index.  Begins poking them one by one with a stick) "Hey you!" says Bob, "Get posting please.  Let's build the index up.  Wouldn't it be cool to browse through related topics rather than do a search?"

REALLY!!!  Do I get to sing and wear a hat with big mouse ears?!!

Oops, sorry, wrong club.

I really don't have anything to offer to the indexing project.  The one thing I had to offer was the link to where some guy with "way too much time on his hands" did something crazy and made some excel spreadsheet of all the graded music in the forum.  That dude was a freak.    But you already posted the link to that.

Yeah, ooops  ... well I wasn't thinking seriously (my mind it only filled with copying and pasting now) when I responded to you but, YES, you have already added a great contribution to the project.  Thanks  (it will be added to the new index soon).

m1469

[Torp]

Yeah, ooops  ... well I wasn't thinking seriously

Hopefully you weren't taking me too seriously, all was said in jest.

Jef

PS - New Index?  Am I missing something?  Is this different than the current index you're working on?  Is it some sort of Hush, hush, agent orange kind of thing?  You could tell me but then you'd have to kill me?

[Bob]

m1469, you could just post whatever people put up.  Then, adjust things if someone finds an error.  That way you would just be posting and not having to review all the information.



People, we need more links!  Please!  Imagine if everyone posted one link per day -- how fast the index would grow...

Thanks Kohai, yes that is very helpful.  Thanks abell88, thanks Bob. 

I keep track of the threads in a few ways, The two most prevelent are by the title, then by the first set of numbers listed in the link.  Within each category, they will be listed by the numerical order of that first number combination within each link, so between the title and those numbers, I can tell whether or not I already have a given link.

Just as a side note, we are including the titles as a help in organization, but also, should we every change the forum again where the links are suddenly useless, we will still have the titles which can be easily searched for and found (and then we can update the links). 

All the same, thanks for your continued support and I have been working behind the scenes to have the optimal organization (if that's possible  ).

Quite scary.  Think of all the wasted time and effor that went into this.  Something to be learned about the internet here.

(Bernhard gives a list of books mainly related to the piano, but there are suggestions for Theory books and fiction also.)

I can't seem to access the Index as it currently stands. There must be something wrong with the link.

Thank you for continuing to help out with links you are collecting.  I would like to make a special request that the titles of the thread be included with your links.  Thank you very much,

As for sheet music editions, I have a few posts in a Dover topic and G.Schirmer topic, but I can't remember where they are.

omg... All the links will be different since it's piano street now right?

I bet you can find and replace pianoforum.net with pianostreet.com in the url's.

Or maybe the site is smart enough to switch the links itself.

Hopefully, those topic numbers at the end stayed the same.  I bet they did.

Long live the index!
