    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.

    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'd say it sounds like one of those temporary insanity on the system's part kind of deals, but if the problem persists, speak up. The only time I see that message is on another site (one of my clients') for which I have to run Windows in Virtual PC on a Mac, and, yup, Internet Explorer. I'm not seeing it in Firefox. But on the other hand, it's not that uncommon for the system to behave a little oddly in terms of pages loading, usually because something in the great technological food chain is restarting or something. Like I say, if this keeps happening, speak up.

I just joined the site a few days ago and I want to post a message in the Forums, but when I try to I get: Announcement: You are not allowed to post a new forum topic. What's the deal ????

Only moderators, which is for the moment me, can start new topics. This is largely a matter of chaos management. If the comment you want to post fits in one of the existing forum topic (as in this case), feel free to post it. If you're not finding anything addressing the issue you want to post about, send me a PM and if it seems like something people will want to talk about, I'll start a topic. Hope this helps!

I am SO sorry about this. I don't know what's going on. I've reported the problem to Jonathan. Meanwhile, I'm just making it a practice to check the spam queue first thing when I log in to turn your posts loose. I think it's likely that the urls in your sig are setting it off, but it should have learned its lesson by nw and it just hasn't. Assorted site fixes are coming real soon now and I hope they will make this problem a thing of the past, but I'm not a tech. I'm really sorry I can't just fix this.

can someone get my cal expo 92 post out of the spam filter & post it in the forum? It was a big post & I didn't keep a copy - and all I got was "your message has been queued for reveiw by the administrators" - or whatever it says. I've had this problem intermittently - all day yesterday - then it cleared up for a while & now it's back again. I can't post - I don't even expect this one to go through.

Here's something: I was logged on earlier for awhile, then logged off. I happened to look back in a little later and my screenname still showed up in "Who's online", but I must not have been actually logged on because all the "my dead.net" options didn't appear and the "post new comment" area didn't show up when I clicked into any of the forums. When I did log on again (to type this, and to make sure I logged off this time) my screenname only showed up once, so that's an improvement. Nothing serious, just odd. Thanks, MitD ((searching for a cool sigfile))

you just did. Twice. What the message means is that you can't start new threads. If you have a request for a thread you'd like to see, send a PM to marye. Otherwise, feel free to contribute to any of the existing threads you choose. And welcome aboard! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Yes, i realize i posted twice. The first time i typed in my comment and forgot to enter the subject header and sent the message before i realized my mistake. So i posted again. Have to blame my ADHD on that.! Anyway, i can post here, i just can't post a new topic in any of the forums. But i will use your suggestion and contact the moderator Regards, Bob.

Well i'm an idiot. I thought it meant i couldn't post yet. Some forum websites will not allow you to post for awhile if you just registered, until you are approved by the site. I eventually figured out it meant i couldn't create a new topic heading, that it was already pre-determined. Thanks.

as you see, you're posting just fine and the fine locals have done their usual stellar job of explaining the deal. Well, except for the goddess part. If you want to start a topic and we don't already have something like it--hey, it happens!--just send me a PM and we'll figure it out. Glad you're here. Make yourself at home.

you can just look over to who's online, and it shows the # of users,which is login's and the # of guests which is just visitors,not logged in. Ded Hed Jed is now hitting the 470 loggin mark and climbing, hope something doesn't crash. Just wanted to give marye and jonathon a heads up. No stuman you are not seeing things, pretty spooky.

I successfully updated my password and successfully logged into the main site. Like most, I suspect, I'm waiting for the presale and understand that my account must be active in order to get tix. However, when I click the link for ticket info and then click the link at the top of the page ("my account"), I login w/ my working user ID and password and get a message that it is invalid. I've tried logging out of the main site and back in to try this again and still have the same issue. Is it because the presale hasn't begun? I'm concerned that it won't let me login to the actula tix site when the time comes. Thx in advance.

You need to create another ID on the ticket sale site. Not the same as your ID here. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
