    Quick question
    Sorry up front if his is the wrong thread.Recently i bought "Dead ’09: Greensboro, NC 4/12/09 256k MP3 Download " and I got the confirmation Email and it directed me to http://www.deadnetstore.com/User/MyDownloads.aspx to download. so my question is how long does it take to be able to download? I talked to 4 customer service reps for the GD store and I regret to say they where full of fail. All they did was repeat my order to me and told me they cant help me for 4 days. Any info will help greatly. Please help, Fatjackson

    Yes, I keep showing as multiple log ins, three right now and I only logged in once this morning. I can post in the forum this morning though.

    The site is acting very strange lately - I see you took the chat room down, due to the way it was acting - but now, sometimes when I log on, there is no message - so I log on again, successfully - and see I'm listed twice. If i try to go to the chatroom, it says it's offline - but I show as not logged in. If I hit the back button, I am shown as logged in. It looks like alot of users are showing up as logged in multiple times. - not sure what's going on there.

    you seem to be today's lucky victim of a bug that has ensnared Bob, Gigi and several other blameless souls over the months. I've mentioned it to Jonathan.

    apparently some maintenance work on the big computer in the sky had unexpected ripple (er, tsunami) effects in our part of the world, but it appears to be diagnosed and straightened out. You're right Bob, that feature has disappeared! I'll pass this on. I think the duplicate user thing was probably related to the system thrashing, but if you keep encountering it speak up!

    being reported as well. might want to ask your developers about potential for redundant SessionContexts. Also might consider checkpoint, back up and bounce the database. Maybe bounce the app server as well. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I found some in my mailbox. They had set up shop between the main plank and a shim underneath. The mailman kept looking at me sideways and (I had the feeling) skipping me 'til I replaced the box. He said I 'must really like my old one'. Boy, those things really gave me the creepy crawlies.*update* The dang bugs are still in there even after replacing the board and box. They must have set up shop in the post. I seem to have the opposite of the Midas touch lately; whatever I touch turns to poo. *yet another update* No sign of the bugs after caulking the holes manufactured as part of the design of the box. Thank god, those things were freaking me out.

I have had good luck with the fly tape...I'm wondering why the flies go there, when it's obvious their pals are struggling

what OS/browser/device are you using? Those links are working fine for me in Chrome/MacOS, but that doesn't mean they work for everybody, so please let us know the details so we can troubleshoot. Thanks!

I am using windows 7. Also tried in both IE and Chrome browsers. I discovered it works if you maximize the browser window. My impression as a previous web designer is the hotspots overlap and the second row of buttons overlaps the smaller top row of buttons. But again, when I maximized the window it works. Thanks!

It happens to me on my smaller screen laptop. When I move to my larger screened desktop, it works fine. Will not work on my laptop if maximized. Minimized it works fine. Win 7/IE 11 on both systems.

I'm using safari on an iPad mini (first version). When I'm in the forums section, the blue box that surrounds the word "forums" at the top covers up the yellow username and chat buttons that are at the top left rendering them inaccessible. In general, web pages that treat all the different sections as independent "objects" from each other are almost impossible to create and maintain (or at least do it well) because of all the different resolutions, aspect ratios, etc. For instance, no matter what browser you're using, try using whatever built-in feature exists to magnify the web page for easier reading. See? The various objects behave independently and overlap each other rendering them unusable. Even without magnification, it will never work perfectly on all devices, maximized and/or not maximized, all resolutions, etc. So, unless there is truly additional functionality that is gained that could not be done with traditional web page design, it's just for aesthetics - which is nice, but not worth losing functionality over. In any case, even it got perfected so it works right in all environments, it will always be orders of magnitude harder to KEEP it that way through all the changes and updates that will always be happening. In any case, I really do appreciate all the work and time that must have gone into it, and I thank the folks at dead.net for that, seriously. But, unless there is actual functionality that people want that can't be done without using the independent objects technique, then it really ought to go back to a traditionally designed page. There's lots of cool design work that can be done even within that limitation. And, it would work right for everybody all the time.

I just realized if I decrease my screen size I am able to click on everything. The only tab that kind of gets in the way is the store menu tab. It overlaps slightly with my username, but when the screen size is minimized a tad I am able to get clicks on everything. Hope this helps.

For "Ready or Not" there have been 4 holds on my checking account. They come and go but never process. Now for the Dave's Picks 2020 subscription there is another hold on the account. I had a hold from another merchant that processed so its not my bank. Is anyone else having this problem with Warner Music Group?
