    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Wendy - thanks for clearing that up for me and sorry for not getting it the first time! I have it on both of my accounts - it's under the Shows Attended section there on the right. Can anyone else let me know if they don't have that feature? It doesn't work great, and takes me back to where I'd last posted in a few forums, but that's something at least. I like using the All Recent Posts and sorting by Forum to see what is new for me that way. and Mindbender - yeah, for now. Editing was a concern for the changing-history thing, and because it was hooked in the code with Reply and that was behind the weird chronology of posts issue that folks were asking about. It is being looked at and worked on though to see if the magic-fingered folks can find a way to do 30-minute editing or something without it messing anything else up. Bottom Line: it's a software thing.

    "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.

    Hey now, Wendy. I'm not trying to be smartypants here, but look on the left menu area, under Dead Community. Is there not an All Recent Posts button, above Member Map? I have a non-mod account here (shhhh.....) and I have that feature, so I'm thinking everyone else does too. Am I crazy?

    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?

    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.

I was just wondering about a list of all the people working on the tour this time, "Lights, Sound, Management, etc." Was just wondering if it was some of the same crew from back in the day.

The gdh supposedly to be provided yesterday seems to be #1, but it does not show up on the front page 'The Latest'. When I went through 'Features' to 'GD Radio Hour' to 'Grateful Dead Hour no.1' at the top of the queue I get the text with 'Listen Now" radio button, but it won't play. I can play other Taper Section and GDH music, so it is clearly just this link that is the issue. Please let the right person know that the link is not working and hopefully they can fix it. lethedoom

I didn't know if anyone could help me get in touch with anyone associated with the store. I ordered a download on the 15th to take to charlottesville with me but it didn't post that day, and upon returning from out of town, I'm being told that my download has expired and I was pegged the 16 bucks. I've posted multiple tags with customer service with no response, and I've already filed for a return through my bank. I didn't know if anyone here could get me in touch with someone who could help me resolve this without a bunch of paperwork and mess. Thanks in advance.

I was at the Forum show on Saturday 5/9. I bought the wristband for the show CD, but unfortunately my wife ended up in a ambulance at the end of the show because of an asthma attack so I didn't get to pick up my copy. I still have the wristband and receipt, is there something I can do about this? I tried calling 1-877-deadnet and they said they would have corporate offices call me but I have not heard anything yet. P.S. She was kind enough to wait for the encore before her attack.

If you or anyone you know may have witnessed ABUSE by the Chicago police the evening of 05-05-09 at (night of Allstate Arena show in Rosemont), you are urged to call attorney Goeffrey Fieger at 248-355-5555 and leave info with Robert Giroux. You can also call the Chicago division of the FBI at 312-421-6700. This is Rabbit and I can be reached at 419-215-0577.

this was a great surprise, to find i could get the show, clearer, and better quality recording, then the old taper recordings i use to hunt down. i too had my wife taken away in an ambulance, at shoreline 5-14-09. it was asthma related, but my wife lost half a lung about 5 months ago to pneumonia, and has a tumor low on her back pushing into her spinal cord, and cuts off leg movement sometimes. the attack ,the crowds, and all got too her we figure. RockMed are the best. they was right there, on the ball, and got my wife off the lawn at shoreline, with my wife in a wheel chair, had an O2 tank ready for her not 2 minutes after reporting my wifes position on the lawn Thank You RockMed. now the question. the wristband CD had 3 discs, my disc three wont play any track after the 1st track on my car CD player. in my home CD player, a bit better quality wont play track 3-5-6 it shows "read error" the way it is, i only really get to listen to my car CD player. so i only get 1st track on 3rd disc!! i lose all but 1 song after drums/space. this disc is the same time frame my wife was having problems. i spent most of the last part of concert calming her down, and hunting down RockMed, and sitting in RockMed office with my wife. i dont want to lose last half of 2nd set again. who do i contact about this? you can ask RockMed at shoreline, the got a full report from me and wife there on file.

on a lighter note, when rockmed people asked if i know why my wife got this bad, i told them she was too sick for raise the flag tour, now once again, she was sick, but we felt she was well enough, but we guessed wrong as it seams. then i told him it was the bands fault, if they did shoreline 2 times a year, 2 or 3 nights in a row, i could of taken her when she was feeling better. this 3 shows in 13 years at shoreline just isnt enough. we just had to go, we never know when they tour together again, like all outdoor venues, rain or shine, the show must go on. tix was bought, with no foreseen time of a return, we risked it. in truth, it was worth it, a bit scarry there, on the encore, i couldnt fight the crowd on the lawn, to try to find her, and if i left in the encore, i would of had to leave her alone, in a panic. i had to wait for lights to come on, to get help for her, without leaving her side. RockMed is the best. i wont get a lawn t9icket again, if they return, i like lawn at shoreline, but the wife is too ill. i sit in lines for hours'n hours, to get tix the day they come out, (now it is prebuy online, as a fanclub member, same thing) but the dead, shoreline, the lawn is where it is at, you cant dance in the seats. i miss the old cal-expo shows, with the open area in front of stage and the seating in the back. i always felt that the dance floor should be in front.

i am so pissed. who ever runs that dead.net site is wacked in the head. my 3rd disk dont play, and supervisor at 877-dead.net she told me i got to REBUY it. i paid good hard cash for my show CD at the show. and was told, i had to repay to get my disc. this is after losing me to a phone line that cuts me off. (22 minutes, 3rd call, it cuts me off, i had to call back a 4th time) well, why do i need to REBUY a broken item i BOUGHT already!?? i was told i could "hear" the show 15 minutes after the show, i am still waiting, 5 days later. the phonelines didnt work all weekend, then, i get "we dont handle Concert CD's here, you have TO REBUY it, so we can download it in your puter!!" well, thats all good'n fine, but i bought a CD, not a download!! and the only contact number on the CD is dead.net, if you contact them, as it is stated on package, and they dont handle the CD's sold at show time, how to i get this 3rd disc replaced without spending more then the show ticket? i have never felt so used and dirty dealing with a grateful dead vendor, as i did with dead.net. and i still didnt get an answer. i was told by manegment, that they will take a report, and take it to upper management, and i will get a call back within 3 to 5 days! thats over a WEEK AFTER THE SHOW, and bad CD. do you wait a week, to get the steak replaced that was over cooked in a restaurant? well, why should i wait aweek, to talk to manegment about a CD i bought, that just displays "read error" no 3rd CD, only 1st song after drums, no last half of set, no encore. i spent a lot of this same time frame of the show in RockMed, now i missed the show 2x. after all this negitive Karma with dead.net, i dont feel i will even listen to the show, can i sell my flawed faulty CD back to the dead please?

Is it legal to use the SYF image in a sculpture? I made a cast aluminum wall hanging last week for myself (something I have wanted for a long time) and was wondering how legal it is to sell these things on lot? What if any are the copyright laws with the SYF logo? My piece is a original sculpture made by me molded by me and cast in alum. by me. I posted a photo of it on the fan photos page under fan art.

I have checked with the licensing folks, who confirm that selling this piece would be trademark infringement, as the SYF is a registered trademark. Should you wish to pursue a licensing arrangement, as many have done over the years, I'll put you in touch... Thanks. It IS a real nice piece!

there are quite a few regional topics, and probably the likeliest one right now for your purposes would be Deadheads of Europe. You'll find other folks from Spain there, though I think you're the first from Asturies. Welcome!

as I've said, not allowing free-for-all topic starting is simply a chaos management tool we adopted when we launched the site, and examples abound on other systems why this was a wise decision. I've already PMed you about your lost dog topic request and await developments; just upload your photo to fan pix and I'll get it rolling.

How does one get the following question in front of the the right person(s) for serious consideration and at least a response other than this poster having the bank to fund such a thing?? How do we make "The DEAD & NRPS @ RFK Stadium" and possibly other venues happen? I feel like from the turnout at the spring shows and the bowl you over frenzy happening at the New NRPS shows that this would be incredibly magical. For what it is worth, I do have personal access to legal help that knows the ins and out of concert promotion and production (i.e. Allmans, Lynard Skynard, and the like, but isn't necessarily a fan of these tunes, but is respectful. Thank you for your time and consideration of my questions. Never gonna leave this Brokedown Palace.....

Offhand I have no idea how to set up such a tour or who the likely contact point might be in this day and age, but I'll pass your question up the line. Meanwhile, you might want to ask the same thing over on phillesh.net, ratdog.org, and the NRPS site by way of casting a broad net.
