Announcements

We've been having server problems since the leak was reported When the site goes offline or slows down, the best practice is to check back later on. Unfortunately, hundreds of requests to load the site were being sent at the same time, constantly. This means I couldn't access the backend of the site, where I could of just done something simple like temporarily close the forum to settle the server back down but it took 5 hours and support from the hosting company of the website to be able to access the site again. There's a lot of server work to be done now and it means the main Coldplaying.com site won't be updated until an estimated time of Monday. For all news…

AHFOD is almost here! The album will be released on 4th December. The first major event is on Friday 13th November, where Coldplay will debut two unheard tracks at the Tidal concert. Liquidsky has kindly created an events guide. Please use that to find the information and discussion for each event or interview :)

The full guide for the 'A Head Full Of Dreams' tour is now up on the main website! There are two sections on the forums for the new tour. Both are under Coldplay Live. Concert Information: For all ticket info, travel info, questions related to the event and meet ups. 2016: (sorted by continent) Everything music related. Setlists, reviews, photos, ticket sale general chat and anything else you can think of, related to the concert. You can find the general discussion thread for the whole tour, here.

We're after your designs for 728x90 and 468x60 site banners! As always, all banners should include COLDPLAYING DOT COM in some large format somewhere. Please PM your banners to Sparky at : http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=2527 Thanks! :) Ian Edit 08 April 2014 by Sparky : This still applies, thank you for your input so far! Current theme is anything Ghost Stories related.

Whooooooooooo would like to help us celebrate our first official #GhostStoryDay this Halloween? We all love Coldplay's song Ghost Story and would like to get it some attention so why not make Halloween all about it? We will also be giving out a prize for best submission! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0-XXX3dnlVc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> We would like to start a fun project where members can create art work whether it be a photograph, painting, drawing, etc with silly, funny, or not too scary pictures of ghosts (not too pervy either ppl) with using the hashtag #GhostStoryDay. You can either po…

We've reached the milestone of 100,000 members. 15 years after the first account was made by Coldplay's founder and admin of 14 years, Ian / Busybeeburns :D :D Oh yeah! :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance: Huge welcome to our 100,000th member, Iiris Coldplaying.com post below in spoiler tag: <img src="http://mojo.dailybruin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/chris-martin-dance-gif.gif" alt="Coldplay party" /> The Coldplaying forums have just hit the huge milestone of 100,000 members! Yes, over the period of 15 years, we've had 100k accounts created. The first one was an admin account created in the year 2000 by <strong>Busybeeburns&lt…

A polite reminder to everyone: Please post in the correct section of the forum. Saves time for us mods and makes it clear for every fan who comes on here for the latest news, to see that there's a new event/update. This is more specifically for the 'LP7 - A Head Full Of Dreams' thread, which is not a general discussion topic. If it's something new and not related to 'A Head Full Of Dreams', please post a new thread :) You'll get credit for it on Coldplaying.com too as the forums are checked first when I post updates on the main site. Thank you.

A lot of you were asking about multi quote. It's not built into the current forum template so it wasn't an option anymore. It's a useful feature so I've added a function, where you can simply highlight a selection of text with your cursor (this is for desktop only) then a quote button will appear. Click on that to add a quote to the quick reply and then add more quotes from the same page, if you would like. If your adding quotes from multiple pages, just remember to copy the saved quotes and paste them in when you navigate to another page.

The main site, www.coldplaying.com has been redesigned. Hope you like it ;D Special mention & thanks goes to Stephend2000, who has helped me out with the transformation and has implemented the same style on our sister site, <a href="http://www.wikicoldplay.com" target="_blank">www.wikicoldplay.com</a> More thanks to a2iel too, who designed the logo (inspired by Coldplay's video shoot in India) :) Post your thoughts on the new site here and any feedback you may have.

May come as no surprise but Stephen (aka Stephend2000) is our newest team member! Congratz :) He'll be helping us out with the stuff we plan behind the scenes and with live events. He's been a massive help to me with both sites and he'll continue that with other things like live events. The live blog will feature for a lot of future events, like the one Stephen did for the music video shoot (on Wikicoldplay.com) last week, so keep an eye out for that :)

Hi all, As Will's birthday is getting closer, we are giving you an opportunity to post an artwork, which it can be drawn or photoshopped, as creative as possible! There will be one Coldplayer chosen where the artwork will be sent to the Coldplay HQ and let them know that we, as Coldplayers, have something to give for each member :) The artwork will be chosen based on public votes, so make sure you are voting based on your personal choice and taste (yep!). As a matter of fact that we only have got 18 days to Will's birthday, we are making a deadline from now until 25th July 2015 at 23:59 GMT. You know, who knows your artwork will be posted on their official acc…

As you may have noticed, the 'Meet Ups' forum under 'Coldplay Live' has been changed to 'Concert Information'. It's for meet ups still but also for ticket & travel information. It will be helpful to have all the information in one place and a section separate from the music section, where everyone can get help if they need it :) Here's the info thread for the iHeart Radio Festival and what the format will be for future concerts: Link. Please read this sticky before posting in the concert info forum. There's also a notice of how we are raising funds for the site, through links to flights & hotels, rather than a donation link. Most of us would use these comp…

Yes, I am deciding to drop a mass amount of Coldplay photos on you all :cool: Around 90,000 to start off with! They were previously online on Coldplaying.com years and years ago but many haven't been seen since. Firstly, the credit for all of the photos goes to the band itself for all of their awesome shows, the Coldplayers who have posted these images since the beginning of Coldplaying.com back in 2000 and the old owner, Ian / Busybeeburns, along with tifosi, who did the migrating work from the old Coldplaying website to the current one. To have a gallery of this size is incredible and it's so inspiring to have a huge piece of Coldplay history on the site :D The …
