    Links not working. Some people still use IE these days. Also, can't post comments: Not everyone uses Facebook!

    I can't reproduce this problem, it's working fine for me. What browser/OS/etc. are you using? Thanks!

    as much as I want to, I can not enter the contest today or download the song, I have tried every avenue available that I know of and nothing, the song plays, (could it be the best and longest Sugaree ever?), but nothing when you click on the enter or download button. Anyway, the answer today is.........., this is a good one.

    Redesign Issues
    Here's a few: • the Last Post link at the top of the page is not acutally a link. It looks like one, but there seems to be no action associated with it. (Edit: I checked the source code of that section, and there is code for a link, but that's not how it's playing on the rendered page; I'm guessing something runs afoul prior to those lines, which leaves this section's code invalid.) • Cookies don't seem to be working properly. It seems like I have to log on to the site every time I visit it, but even then, it's not clear if I'm logged in or not. Here's an example. When I first hit the site this morning, there was a message that I had a message; I clicked the link and was taken to the message. I typed my response and then hit Send Message, which took me to a login screen. I logged in at that point (didn't we used to have a "Remember Me" checkbox?), and was then taken to the home page, but the response to the message that I had typed was gone. • It's a small thing, but the Preview function for posts doesn't render/display in the same way as the actual post; the subject line is regular text, as opposed to the fancy style that I've quickly become a fan of. And here's my system info if the techies ask: Firefox 14.0.1 running on Kubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. Thanks.

    pages not loading, taking forever to load...
    ...and any guesses why the only image available on the show description pages is one of the Summer Tour 1995 poster? Seems like they're just putting lipstick on the pig with the recent changes. Not really fixing the underlying problems, just fancying it up a little...might as well (I guess).

    the way I got around this when it happened to me yesterday
    was that I fired up a different browser, went to dead.net and logged in, logged out, copied the url of the login page, and pasted it into the original browser. Worked like a champ and I haven't had the issue since. Whether it will work for you I dunno, but I've also asked the tech guys if they have more reliable info than my blundering around.

    Okay, that's pretty surreal. I'll pass this on. We thought we had the login issue fixed, but clearly not for everybody!

    Thanks for the track tip, wilfredtjones; I was getting tired of scrolling through the whole list to find my stuff. But here's a new problem for you, marye: when I click on My Account at the top of the page, it takes me to a search page. I need to click on my name in a post to get to my account.

I get a dead link when I follow the full show downloads link for the 11/79 Spectrum shows - are these still available? The page I'm accessing is via Features -> New Full Show Downloads (near bottom of page) -> MORE DOWNLOAD INFO (right sidebar). I really hope these haven't gone the way of the rest of the download series (which I'm still trying to find a way to purchase in FLAC or ALAC format. Thanks, D

i have gotten about 20 messages in the last two days about a request to reset my password. Someone is obviously trying to steal my user name by getting the password reset. How can i make sure it doesn't get changed? I set up this ID early on day one of the new website launch as you can imagine my User name is a desirable one.

Jack Straw that is clearly someone trying to change it...be careful man, and make sure your password is both capitals, lower case, and a few numbers and has nothing to do with your home/house birthday etc. That sucks man...hopefull the techies can ping back the responses and get the IP addy the guy is using. Also, the chatroom is definately down...I think it's a problem with gagalive. Is everyone having this issue? Love you guys. ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥ Twirly Banner

Hey ripple! To start a new thread, you send a private message to marye (admin) with the topic you wish to start. She is most helpful and obliging about setting them up for us, and only she can start new threads.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

yes, it does seem to be dysfunctional. I'll report it. However, from what I can tell, the problem is not on our site but the chat hosting site, and seeing as it's Labor Day Weekend things might stay this way till folks get back to work on Tuesday. Thanks.

The chatroom was running on gagalive.com and their site has been down the whole time the chat has been inaccessible. This has been quite a long time for any site to be down. Is there any word on it?

We're now at day 5 since a new Jam Of The Week ought to have been posted. Still rocking the 2-4-2/10 Jam, now on 2/15. While I'm at it, the on Features page the main link, top and center of the page, points to a stale Taper's Section? It's pointing to 2/7-2/13, last week's selections. The new one has now been available for two days. Is anyone actually devoted to maintaining this site, as their primary responsibility? Or does someone just patch things up when marye brings them to their attention? I mean seriously. We have to *tell* you that your site is stale? We have to *tell* you that you haven't got Jam Of The Week up? Does nobody there actually browse the site??? Sorry to be so harsh, but I am actually curious what resources are devoted to site maintenance here. There's definitely an issue with staff levels or competencies. And whoever's in charge ought to have been shown the door ages ago. [mandatory_pander] But, of course, all the gracious goodies are appreciated, yadda, yadda... [/mandatory_pander]
