Announcements

The official Coldplay website, www.coldplay.com has been updated with a new design and a timeline feature! There's few hints of the colourful direction and the logo on the sidebar menu and of course, an awesome feature to view the band's history :) You can view (and discuss) the new timeline and a message from the band, on this thread It's coming :D

It's here! The Coldplaying mobile app is now ready for download on the iOS store and on Google Play. A few of you have tested the app already (V1 - BETA) and we thank you for the overwhelming response so far. Click here to download the Coldplaying app for Android devices Click here to download the Coldplaying app for iPhone & iPad Please remember to rate the app if you like it and share with other fans :) I would like to give to a massive thank you to Batman and atlas2000 from our graphics team for their role in the app and to everyone who has given me feedback so far. Here's a list of the full app features for V1.1 Coldplaying App Features Si…

Two new forums / sections have been added :) One for Coldplay's next album, 'A Head Full Of Dreams' http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/forums/191-A-Head-Full-Of-Dreams And the other for 10 years of X&Y (#X10Y) http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/forums/190-10-years-of-X-amp-Y And to quote from the sticky thread for the X&Y forum: You may have noticed the Live 2015 section too and that Ghost Stories has moved into the releases forum, alongside older Coldplay albums.

We welcome gai as our newest Global Moderator. Congratz :) Texasluvsjonny (Angie) has left the mod team for now. A big thanks to all the great help she has given Coldplaying for so many years as a mod :D

For today (Sat 14th Feb) until 7pm UK time, i'll answer any questions you have about Coldplaying or myself (Coldplay/Coldplaying related) on our official Ask.fm account. You are welcome to ask questions after that date + time but there may be a delayed response. Fire away :)

Kicking off February, we have three new Team Members and the Members Of The Month to tell you about! A warm welcome to: @Awardchris Coldplayfan1294 howyousawtheworld And this is how the new Coldplaying team will look. First up, we have an accurate picture below of our News Team, Gai and Mike (@Awardchris). Gai is already part of the team but Mike is joining us. You will know him as the founder of the Chris Martin for Freedom of Exeter Award page. We have done a few features on him previously :) We have two Writers : Coldplayfan1294 and howyousawtheworld Our Ambassadors are Grids and Christa42 Our Graphics Team consists of Batman and atlas2000 He…

We need Coldplayers to volunteer as mentors for new members joining the site :) You'll simply just need to know how to use the forums on desktop and mobile (using Tapatalk) If you would like to help, just reply to this post, PM myself or Captain Crieff . You will be added to a list of Coldplaying mentors and we will 'pair' you up with a new member.

January 31st 2000 was the date of the first ever Coldplaying.com article, posted by our founder, Ian (Busybeeburns) :D Coldplay supported Muse at the Newcastle University Student's Union! Nostalgia :parachutes: http://www.coldplaying.com/31st-january-2000-coldplay-support-muse-newcastle-interview/ (link to the new article) http://www.coldplaying.com/live-at-newcastle-university-students-union-supporting-muse-interview/ (link to the actual archived post) You may of noticed too, we have a new sharing sidebar on the main site. Please share this piece of Coldplay / Coldplaying / Muse history to the social page of your choice, would be much appreciated :)

There are some changes to the ranks of Coldplaying as we prepare for the next Coldplay era :) First change and a major one is a new rank, called Team Members. Anyone who is part of this new invite only rank will be in charge of Coldplaying, in a certain role, whether that's broadcasting news, making graphics for Coldplaying or one of the many roles we'll have. As an Administrator, I will still be active as usual, albeit a bit more of all rounded one and making sure everything runs smoothly. Global Moderators rank will remain the same, with the moderating of the forums. Our mods will also be part of one role so we'll all be part of the same team! We are making the o…

As you may of noticed, the forum design has changed to a light skin. The reasons for the change : 1) Something new and fresh for 2015 2) Ghost Stories era is over! A Head Full Of Dreams era is just around the corner ;) Banner with many thanks to Batman ( fan made artwork. ) 3) New style is better performance wise. The dark blue skin is not compatible with many add-on's, meaning I can add more useful stuff in the future :) 4) It's pretty much fully customisable so if LP7 is red themed instead of the blue we appear to be hoping for, I can make the change :D Let me know what you think. Thanks for the feedback from a few of you so far prior to the style going live :…
