    Send a PM (message on drop down box) to site administrator MARYE. But you have posted so are you having to make a new password every time? I know the Store on the site has required a separate password recently to order stuff but some just log in as guest there. Good luck.
    Cheers

    Unable to log in

    Hey
    The site isn’t letting me log in unless I say I need a new password. My password is correct but it still won’t let me log in!

    Sales tax is not being added for orders from Alabama. This may be why myself and others can’t order anything from the store.

    Can’t order Here Comes Sunshine 17 cd box set

    I don't know if anyone from dead.net reads these but this website will not let me order the new boxset. I have tried as a guest and it doesn't take my order. I have tried using safari, chrome, and edge on a pc, MacBook, and iPhone with no luck. I have also used 3 different credit cards and PayPal and dead.net still will not take my order. I have ordered Dave's Picks and other boxsets in the past and I have never had an issue. Please take my money, I would like to order this!

    The date is wrong. Says 10-14-84 and the answer was 10-15-84 according to all sources and comments. I saw it by going to previous days, click 13th, and incorrect answer and only a ' where the winners name should be.
    Thanks again for your prompt attention.

I'm still there. It's only happened a few times. There is not a single person who would log in as me b/c nobody knows my top secret password. Nobody knows I'm here for that matter really. Strange things are abound...

well, if the problem persists, let us know. I've encountered this when I've had multiple pages open and logged out on one of them, but I don't usually get too far without being asked to log in.

I'll try to avoid getting too technical here, but I have definitely noticed differing page rendering when logged in vs not, specifically a high proportion of stale pages when not logged in. By that I mean pages that are missing content that should be there, such as recent posts that I saw when logged in, but which do not appear when logged out. My suspicion here has to do with browser caching. There is an HTML tag [META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"] (replace the squares with angles) that will force browsers to reload each page from the server every time, that will probably cure this syndrome, but will also slow everyone down a bit, not to mention burning a LOT more bandwidth. Alternatively, as drupal is built with php, you could also try ' header(”Cache-Control: max-age=0″);' You might run this by your developers. It may help. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Now what the hell happened to my picture? Profile? How did these things just get erased? I logged on earlier today and everything was there. I never erased anything, how did that happen?

I bow to Mr Pids technical know how. Here's a couple of tips Phantom Log Ins This happens often to me. It seems to result from not logging off properly. When you log out, make sure that the process finishes completely before closing your browser or heading off to another site (wait for 'Done' at the bottom of the screen in Firefox). Also do not log out and then use the 'Go Back' button on your browser, once logged off it is best to close Deadnet and then reopen when needed. Stale Pages This is getting annoying. For example in 'Show Recent Posts' I often get the current page from when I last logged out. The only way to get the most recent is to log in .it makes browsing without logging in a real pain (which must use more bandwidth too).

can you please please please please ask the tech people to fix it so that we can see the most recent post first. It is such a pain having always to head for the last page and work backwards through a thread. This has been requested many times and cannot be that hard to achieve (after all Personal Messages are sorted like that). I am sure Mr Pid knows how to do this ;-)

There is a way to do this already. If you retrieve the Forums topic, any topics with new posts will have a link showing the count of new items. If you click on that link, instead of the topic name, you will get the page with the new posts, already scrolled to the first new post. Note that this is NOT yet implemented on the All Recent posts page, and only seems to work when logged in. Then again, if you're not logged in, all posts are "new," so to speak. "New" is a client session level concept, not a server level concept. Likewise, there is also a link to the last item posted, and that will take you directly to that item as well. This functionality appears to have been (silently) rolled out within the last week or so, and I just happened to notice the more correctly formed urls when I inadvertently hovered my mouse over one of the links. Hope this speeds your reading, Badger. BTW, hope all was well with the wifey's canine inclusive bday. I trust you got her something nice for the garden. As for the avatars disappearing, this is probably an unintended server configuration issue. It could be something as simple as a missing or malformed item in a properties file. As I have virtually no experience with drupal, we'll have to wait for an official assessment. When it comes to web apps, I always "roll my own" and prefer to use java/JSP instead of php. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Unlike before it does work via the forums (fora?), but as you point out, not via 'all recent posts' which I use more often to navigate. Hopefully they'll fix that soon. I love the way they leave us to discover these things! We had a great birthday thanks, although I am still not talking to the dawg. As for the garden..been planting fruit trees today!

If they would just compose the urls on that page the same way the do on the fora pages, then your wish would be granted Badger. Maybe "they're" listening... Perhaps they don't announce new functionality rollouts so as to preserve the opportunity for some Joy of Discovery as we wend our way along our respective journeys. Fortunately, they don't require us to communicate in Latin. There's only so much of it I remember. Semper ubi sub ubi. Nothing like a bad pun to set the tone. As for el Poochie....back to that topic. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

but I have duly reported it! kj, the problem we've been seeing off and on with mailing new passwords to new people is that various systems reject those messages and don't put them through. Comcast and hotmail are frequent culprits, but we see it in all kinds of places. So if this persists on either of your machines speak up.

Yes, my inbox used to be under "my account" or over "Log Out", not sure which, but it's gone & if I go to your page & try to send you a message, there's only the "Block Message". This has gone on for a few days, & I just assumed it was the whole site, like the picture issue? Am I wrong?

This site seems to be running slower than usual in the last days. Other sites I visit on the web are loading at the same speed as usual. It's only when I try to get into the forums that it seems to be doing it, and not all the time either. Maybe it's just when the server is busy in the US? I tried at 7am this morning and it was ridiculously slow. Anyone else having the same experience in Europe or is it just dodgy German service providers? It is normally a fast connection here. Are you kind?
