I was just looking at something in the DT and see that there are now two new drop downs for the songs: One for related songs and One for related threads. These are to the songs as the the top of thread links are to the threads.

I hadn't seen them before - it's been a while since I looked at a song in the DT - when did these useful additions appear?

When did they appear? Well, gee, Mick, I've been building that crosslinks database for about ten years, maybe more. The looked different once upon a time because they were long lists of links at the top of the page of threads and DT listings. As time went on, the lists got too long, so Max changed some of them to dropdown menus. He moved some of them, too.

You can see our song crosslink groups in the Song Origins & Info link in our QuickLinks dropdown menu.


Another Mudcat database you might find interesting is Unanswered Requests

It was the drop-downs I hadn't seen before (mind you I didn't remember the cross-references on the DT pages only in the threads; maybe I don't look at the online DT version often enough!).

The other two I know about.

Thanks for the info Joe.
