No idea - last time I looked the image tag had gone so maybe they just removed the whole thing rather than trying to fix :lol:

Just bookmark https://www.themeninblack.co.uk/forums

If there is any reason, it's probably because of all the moaning and groaning about how the new album (that no-one has heard fully yet) isn't going to be any good.

No, if there is any reason, it's basically like Jim said. You can still see bits of code on the site itself, which implies that someone was farting on with it and hasn't got around to fixing it properly.

Maybe the Official site feels that a link to a forum that is run by people who don’t support the current band is a little too counter intuitive even for the Stranglers

In that case, they're definitely shooting themselves in the foot by linking to Hugh's site, eh? :smile:

You’re so right Stan x
I’m sure it’s just a coding error x
Of course Hugh’s site doesn’t pursue the same agenda as the moderators of the forum but I’m sure it’ll be fixed sometime soon….

Okay Mathew, let's say you and dropsnoot are correct and the band are throwing their toys out of the pram because some people on the internet aren't thrilled with their new material - that would reflect a serious lack of confidence and deep insecurity on their part, no? Given the amount of bad reviews they've had over the years and the fact that not everything they've released has been well received by fans, they should be used to it by now.

Calm down dear x as I said I’m sure you’re right and the link will be fixed very soon. It’s probably just a coding error caused by someone ‘farting about’

I presume that it was on the Links page? That page does have a lot of visible errors but I can't see any trace to meninblack.co.uk remaining in it.

Good to see they offer links to former members anyway... none of that childish Pink Floyd nonsense.
