Latest features

16th Jan: To celebrate the first anniversary of BellBoard's launch, a year ago today, we have created new pages showing all our featured performances, and the most-liked performances ever. There is also a new page where you can view statistics on where you (or another ringer) typically ring in the circle, whether you've circled your local tower, and so on.
20th Dec 2012: You can now configure email alerts so that you receive notification by email whenever a performance matching your search criteria is submitted to BellBoard. Also, the order of search results can be configured by selecting Display advanced functionality.
27th Nov: Search results and the list of newest performances are now paged, so that you can access more than just the first 200 or 100 results, respectively. Compositions are now being imported from Campanophile, including for all historical performances.
27th Sep: You can now attach photos to performances — locate a performance you submitted and follow the Upload photo link. View recent uploads. The results from searches now have an address that can be copied safely (e.g. ASCY peals). Finally, we have a highly experimental API into BellBoard.
14th Aug: A number of missing quarter peals from 2011 and the first three months of 2012 have been imported from Campanophile. (If you don’t wish these historical performances to appear in the list of newest submissions, then log in or register for an account and specify a maximum age on the Preferences page.)
14th Jun: New functionality when searching: search for performances in which two people rang together, or search for performances in which someone rang a particular bell.
