I don’t think MPL has any other artists except Paul. MPL owns the catalogs of many artists, but they don’t handle any other websites/forums. If anyone here knows any different, please let us know.
@NJR In fact when I went to their website I saw a lot of artists' faces that I didn't know and I thought that they manage them all.
Sorry I was wrong. -

Sorry I was wrong.Those artists you see photos of here are all dead (except Paul of course!) and MPL owns their songs (their “catalog”) so anytime someone wants to play one of their songs anywhere - TV, movie or live - MPL gets a royalty check. They definitely have to ask permission to use any of Paul’s songs, and probably any others he owns too!

@njr Paul owns the biggest independent music publishing company in the world.

So you never log out and it never automatically logs you out like some websites do? Then why do they mention “expired session” in the error message? Weird!
-
@njr Nope...I don't log in or out.

I’ll try not logging out and see what happens later tonight.

@njr I guess it depends who and what you read.

It didn’t log me out and I was able to just continue where I left off. Just had to refresh the page and the new posts showed up.

Just have to add my two cents worth...I really dislike this new layout!!!

Well, you’re not alone. I preferred the old one as well. So far, the only improvement I see is that you can directly cut and paste a link, you can imbed YouTube videos instead of just posting a link and you can edit a post forever instead of just 30 minutes. You can also edit PMs for about 5 minutes.
I just don’t like the layout. I liked the way the other one explained what each forum was for (new people on here are constantly posting in the wrong forum) And I had to change to black background with white writing because the grey/light black on white was too hard to read!
Another thing - they took away our dates we joined and how many posts we have made.
They say some changes were made to make it easier to read on a cellphone! My God, there is NO WAY I could read any of this on a cellphone! I have a large iPad. -
Today I had to change my black background because I couldn't see any messages at all! What happened???
-
How do you change the background? That has bugged me as well.
