Time

lol... Now DeadNet time is about only 45 minutes behind the actual time here...catching up slowly I guess... or else the Axis is moving closer to us.

Wendy - I can't give you an answer, but I can tell you it's being discussed. I personally agree with you, that the most recent should be on top. I can also tell you that's it going to be one way or the other - can't have it both ways.

It would be really helpful

If I could find my own posts so I can keep up with those threads I've entered. I can't remember where I was. Marye - something like the "check messages" or "Message center". Forgive me if you already talked about this someplace and its been addressed and I'm sure if you could you would. Like for this question, I suspose I am going to have write down where I asked it so I can check for the answer. and BTW, just where am I? Thanks, Rose

Your recent posts

Hey now, Rose-- if you go to your own profile page (click My Account on the left there) you'll see a section on the right of that page called User's Recent Posts, which is a partial solution to the problem you're talking about. However, partial is the operative term, as my Recent Posts seem to reflect the reality of several days ago. A more complete solution would be a good thing, and I'll pass that along. (I'll also email this to you so you don't have to slog through so much). As for the issue of being taken straight to new-to-you posts, let's just say that in my morning report to the higher-ups I said that that issue and the fact of responses appearing out of chronological order are officially at the top of the Pain Point list. So the tech team is aware of the problem and I fervently hope we have a solution soon. Thank you for your kind patience...

Scroll Hell

Love the look of new site.... but the post fonts and spacing is so large that it is hard to read with all the scrolling one needs to do... makes my eyes hurt!! Please reduce the size so you get 4 or 5 posts visible at least at a time.. right now it is 1 or 2 at most... thanks. drmz DrmzSpace Radio podcasts available at: slapcast.com/users/drmzspace tasty audio treats for the mind...

The Store

Why are shipping costs so damn high! Why won't customer service answer my emails? Tony

Ironman...

sorry response to your emails is slow. If Iknew the answer I'd tell you. I suspect they're swamped and, like us, trying to get things working right, but I'm sorry and I'll mention the issue.

downloads

are the downloads going to be put back up?

vault three

I don't know if i'am at the right section of the site, so, please let me try. Why do i have to pay $35 to buy an order of $39 (vault three, t-shirt)? Can't i recieve it by ordinary mail? Idon't care to receive it in 4-6 weeks, the price is very good. Thank you, Richard.

No more music streams?

Did you get rid of the Dead radio stream from the old site? Do you offer any streams at all?

store, streams, etc.

With regard to the streams and many other features, there are many enhancements in the queue and I don't know which are likely to come first. Hence if streams are a big issue to you, please weigh in using the fine Feedback link at the bottom of the page. With regard to the Store, let's just say they're coping with a few issues and we're working with them to establish a better communication channel. My personal advice, if you don't NEED to order something right this minute, you might give it a week for the dust to settle a bit. If you're already having issues, and you've emailed customerservice@deadnetstore.com already and not heard back, send me or izzie the details and we'll get it to someone who can help. Thanks and sorry for all the trouble.

This Day In Grateful Dead History

Hi Aud has started a very cool thread, that is difficult to find...any chance it could be reloacted...like the home page? ( or at least a link to the forum on the home page)

for now, no...

the tech team has a lot on its plate. Down the line, no telling what might happen. Hold that and all similar thoughts!

meanwhile

If you bookmark the topic, it might be easier to find: http://www.dead.net/forum/today-deadhead-history

A couple questions --on

A couple questions -- on main Forum page, only "The Scene" subtopics are listed. how come? when going to a specific topic and clicking on "# new" you go to the first post, not the newest one. can/will this be changed?

short answers

1. Re The Scene, the short answer is that the subtopics are actually Forums (don't ask) because we were still getting the hang of some tools. This actually reflects a layer of complexity we don't need, but hey, a learning experience. 2. We sure hope so. It is reported early and often, and on the to-do list.

"recent posts"

I don't have "Recent Posts" on the right side of my profile, only the shows I've marked as attended so far. I've believe I've seen recent posts only once, on someone else's profile.Do I need to set something differently to show them?

"Recent posts"

Yes, but that shows ALL recent posts..I'm talking about this.. "Hey now, Rose-- if you go to your own profile page (click My Account on the left there) you'll see a section on the right of that page called User's Recent Posts, which is a partial solution to the problem you're talking about. However, partial is the operative term, as my Recent Posts seem to reflect the reality of several days ago" which was marye's answer to Rose's question about how to get back where you left off instead of having to scroll through the entire history (or click "last" and then scroll back) of a folder to get to things you haven't read yet. I'm not seeing "User's Recent Posts" on my profile or anyone else's. I did see it one time, on one profile, and haven't seen it since.

editing posts

is editing our posts turned off for good? ____________ this space for rent

Wendy, that's SO bizarre!

I swear, I'm seeing a perfectly normal User's Recent Posts on my profile too. Every bit as ill-behaved as izzie says, but there. Perhaps an obscure bug is involved here. If the problem persists, please let us know (also what browser you're using and anything else you can think of that might be relevant) and we'll pass it to the wizards for examination...

user's recent...

Nope.. it's definitely not on mine. I'm using the ATT/Yahoo browser. Yesterday I looked at the profile of someone who'd just introduced themselves and under their "website" was "N/A" (underlined) which I clicked, and THAT took me to 'user's recent posts'. But it didn't show up on the front page of their profile. AIl that's on mine is 'shows attended', the "more" button just displays more shows. Just for kicks I just tried putting "n/a" on the website space in my profile, of course it woudn't let me do that, it highlighted it red and didn't take. lol... the location map on my profile puts me on the equator just off the coast of Camaroon. And I thought I was in California all this time.

new posts

The system obviously knows there are posts that I have not viewed yet in some topics under "All recent posts" , and none in others.... Can't it go directly to the new ones instead of the very beginning of every discussion? And after you post a message, must it go back to day one of the discussion instead of just back to the post you just made? Just wondering.... Having to scroll though the enitire history of a topic to view new posts could get quite cumbersome as the history grows.

By the way..

marye, when I look at YOUR profile, "user's recent posts" IS there. Just not on mine or pretty much anyone else's I've looked at.

deleting account

Hi, How does one delete their account. Thanks!

No edit or delete buttons

So there are no edit or delete buttons either, just like thre is no way to kill the account. So....once something is written here it is written in stone unless the all powerful want to delete it? Am I understanding this correctly?

NoName...

It's Sunday. We're working on your questions, thanks. More as soon as we know it. Thank you.

Users Recent Posts

Whoops! I did some poking around and it seems about a random split as to who has Users Recent Posts and who doesn't. The fix-it folks are aware and are figuring it out.

where to post announcements that don't have anything to do with

Forum? Like Ratdog is being streamed live RIGHT NOW and I would have loved to post that in some prominent place - like at deadnetcentral.com I would have posted it in the lot - of course, they all know about it. Anyway, where is a good place here. BTS the link is Ratdog at Bonnaro

Contact

Is there anyway to get contact info for a band member, say Billy? I would really like to get back in touch with him. I haven't heard from him in....two years? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Profile

It would be nice to be able to see your own profile. Rob

Profile

robcork - what do you mean? I click on your username and see your profile. You can edit it and stuff from the My Account page,if that's what you were looking for. (as for contacting band members, shooooooooooot. not this girl.)

delete account

Issie, surely you must know how to delete one's account can only the proctors do it?

account deletion

NoName - wish I could help you out here, but I can't. If you would like, send me a PM and I'll see about individually deleting all of your posts. Then, you could close your eyes and scramble your password so that you can't come back in. That would effectively eliminate your presense here, if that's really what you want to do. In the mean time, if there's something we can do to make your stay here more pleasant, please let us know. I am pretty sure that an account wipe-out will be coming along, as the site continues to develop.

uploading pics

how do I upload a picture? _________ this space for rent

forget it, I found

forget it, I found it. _________ this space for rent

we are working on the account deletion issue, honest

along with some other issues that aren't working quite right. Thanks!

dspath: re Billy (et al.)

If you check the Family Links section in Community, in the menu on the left, you'll find quite a few band member sites. Billy's: http://ocean-spirit.net/ Hope this helps!

Tapers Section

Is there one this week ? Bob Witcher Spanish Jam

tapers section this week?

why yes! http://www.dead.net/features/tapers-section/june-18-june-24-2007

Access denied

Hi, I cannot uplpad photos, even I'm logged in.Get message: "Access denied You are not authorized to access this page" Why's that? Gerdie

Downloads for sale>

What happened to those? If they still exist and will be added to where are they? I am unable to find them in the store. Charlie

Missing Links/Content

Maybe I'm missing something, but I went to the "My Shows" link and nothing came up, also cannot find a link for "Fan Photos"Can anyone provide direct links for these 2 areas?

one at at time here...

coffee-deficit, sorry. fan-photo uploading is offline temporarily. Something went south in the recent server upgrade, and that function should be restored soon. It's all in MaryE's FAQ sheet, too. off to find an answer for bssgrl.

My Shows

Bssgrl - are you looking for My Shows on your My Account Tab? Have you entered shows yet that you've seen? (I just clicked you and it tells me you're a pretty new account, which is why I'm asking.)

Time Stamp

How do I change my time stamp which appears when I post? It is currently 8:10am here in Philly...

time stamps

NuPotato, time stamps are done by the server, as I understand the process, and the server is on Pacific time. I don't think there's an individual fix for that.

Set list for May 15th 1970 late show with NRPS

I have been listening to the show at the Fillmore East on May 15th.1970. There are 2 versions available for streaming but the set lists are very different. The Dead.net web site does not list any set list at all. So what is the deal, Who's right, Archive.org or is the set list from wolfgangs vault correct. Warf Rat 99

warfrat, I'd ask that one in the Shows and Setlist Errors topic.

Offhand it sounds like one source or another has the wrong date.

it was 40 years ago today

I and a pack of friends dosed to the gills were on our way to see Jerry and the band at the SunDome in Tampa. Quite the show and a floating roof made for good times. Saw many a band at the SunDome, always a great time.

Let me also thank MARYE for getting the pre-order to work. I have sent her a direct message about the continuing issue I am having so I won’t belabour the point here, just be aware if using the express option using ApplePay from outside the US you may not be charged postage which is sure to cause problems at some point. As they say, ‘Short cuts lead to long delays’

Chill Ya'll

The Deads IT dept is notoriously bad, and I mean for decades now. I missed out on E72 because I tried to order the morning it went on sale for like 3 hours, and it was "sold out." Went home, thought about the price, and decided not to buy after all. What a dummy! Anyway, there's a plenty to be had
