Sparky

Especially at Kentish Town :D

Awesome! I'll make an article on the main site shortly :D

Also known as 'Panic' before :P Its so different, love the atmosphere, the first one will always be my favourite :)

His Claude side?

Post them all here, there are some cracking ones on Twitter so far :) <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>We'd love to see your origami star once you've made it.

Its a very hot time here, 30c+ (don't laugh non Brits, that's a heatwave over here :P). I was on a 40c+ bus earlier, using the 'I need to stand up otherwise I cant get my phone out of my pocket' trick.

Good ideas, when I get a chance, i'll look at adding something for this :)

I know the forum has been hit with an awful lot of spam today. I am making updates regularly on the spam front but each one needs to be tested first and it takes time. There isn't any magic wands, well...there's supposed to be a few in a form of a plugin but with a forum this size, conflicts often happen and some result in not allowing anyone to register. There are a few things I have in mind. There will be a solution which will prevent most spammers but its getting a balance right so it doesn't affect genuine new members trying to post, which is important so all in good time, the hammer is on its way down! There is a play thru game instead of captcha as its more secure but the spammers who are registering are not bots, they are even scrolling down the list to pick India as their country flag! :lol:

From today, I will be pushing the use of Tapatalk for Coldplaying. Their updates have been great lately and its much better to use now! Some of you use it already so have seen the updates (v5 a few months ago and now v5.1). You can browse the main site articles now, not just the forums :) There are no more Tapatalk logos or advertising in signatures or when sharing images. A massive thing Tapatalk also did was provide support on the ad side as it wasn't feasible to have a large amount of us on Tapatalk before as it wouldn't help with the server costs! As time goes on, the more and more phone and tablet use there is and we won't get as many members as we used to on the desktop side because of the swing to mobile use so there will be a lot of Coldplayer's joining from the mobile/Tapatalk side, more so when the next Coldplay era starts :P The plan is to move to our own app eventually (probably next year) which Tapatalk can be purchased to run in. If everyone could please re-tweet/ share the post about Tapatalk listed on our Twitter and Facebook page to spread the word, it would be much appreciated! The new member forum may be busier than in recent weeks so be sure to greet new Coldplayers who come through the door :D The donate button is back on the navigation bar! Any donations (options for one off or recurring) will go towards the purchase+development of future Coldplaying upgrades and app's :) Please disable Adblocker on Coldplaying if you have it active as that will help too, thanks. Wikicoldplay will be restructured in the coming months and updated while the main site Gallery of 120k+ images is estimated for completion at the end of 2014/start of 2015! In other news, the layout has slightly changed on Chatbox evo, if you click the small CPing logo next to the name of the person who posted the chat, you can highlight their name to mention/reply like on Twitter. When you post a new thread, similar threads will now appear below as you type so its easy to spot if someone has posted the same topic already!

Moved to Coldplay forum :P

No competitive games for a month!! :(

Messi named player of the tournament by Fifa.... :laugh3:

That's that then, Mario Gotze does an Inesta and scores in extra time. I would of liked penalties for the drama :P

Extra time it is! It will probably be penalties. That guy with the message thingy thinks it will be 1-0 to Argentina with Messi scoring!

Messi does look up for this tonight, should of scored though with that chance earlier!

Its very balanced at half time, not so much in favour of Germany as I thought!

Added info to the first post and moved to the release section since its now out :)

For the posting of great charity causes. For July 2014, Chris Martin has tweeted to support the MNDA on Justgiving. & on the donations panel there is a note: Now, between the dementia campaign & the motor neuron disorders, I wonder if there is a member of his family affected by some neuro-related illness :thinking: <iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="display: none;"></iframe>

I think Germany will win but wouldn't mind Messi turning up and scoring a hat trick in a World Cup final :P

Moved to The Lounge as its not Coldplay related. I like it, you guys are talented :)
